High quality. Full-service. Collaborative.
Data & Cloud Development Services
Bit Quill is a data and cloud software development services company. We provide back-end software development services to software and technology companies and take on projects at any point in the development life cycle between product management and quality assurance.
Our technical focus includes developer experience; query processing; distributed query execution; data mapping, processing, movement and integration; microservices; and related technologies. If it involves software that processes, accesses, moves, or analyzes data, we know how to build it.
Working with Partners
Our customers are world class, leading-edge software companies and we consider them our partners. When their product requires a solution rooted in data and cloud, they turn to us. Our current customers are primarily located in major North American tech hubs, including San Francisco, Seattle, and Boston.
We specialize in long-term projects and building strong relationships. Our working model integrates our development team into the software development teams of our clients so that we can maintain a constant flow of communication, shared understanding, and an iterative approach to software development.
When you work with us, you leverage not just the expertise of the individuals you work with directly, but also the expertise of the entire company. We are at our best when we are able to work alongside you in the design and development of your data and cloud solutions.
We are not a staff augmentation company.
Our team members - all management of our developers happens from within Bit Quill. Developers working at Bit Quill work on your project, but remain part of our team - building their technical leadership in the data and cloud space to help our customers craft superior data and cloud integrations.
Team Management
When we allocate a team to your project, we include a full range of seniority - from Development Managers to Developers - allowing us to provide full management capacity for our team on our side. Our team will participate in daily stand-ups, provide weekly reports, collaboratively plan milestones, and request your feedback on how we’re doing. We strive to maintain a stable team of developers so they can establish and maintain familiarity with the project and your company, gaining velocity and allowing us to leverage our expertise that we can contribute back to you.
Design & Development
We are at our best when we are able to work alongside you in the design and development of any software we craft. It is our intention that any solution we build will not only work for you, but for your customers as well. In previous projects, we have been well positioned to help our partners see what matters most to their customers when it comes to data and cloud. Being fully engaged in the design and development of your product means that we discuss solutions, make suggestions, and help shape the direction of the software solution alongside you.
As much as we wish it wasn’t true…
…we’ve found that perfection is a difficult state to maintain in perpetuity. Instead of ignoring this very real part of software development, we employ the following strategies:
No Surprises
We peer around corners to try to ascertain as best we can whether something is at risk and keep you informed of all that we find.
Be Mindful
We leverage our previous experience and stay vigilant for any new potential pitfalls that might arise in your project.
Guaranteed Transparency
We don’t hide anything. If something goes wrong, we flag the problem immediately so that we can work with you to head off issues before they arise.
Strive for Quality
We work hard to create a great product the first time. We are proud of the software we create, and enjoy producing quality product.
Team Oriented
When appropriate, we step in to help even when the source of the problem is unrelated to us. Our focus is on a creating a high-quality end product.
Be Accountable
We accept responsibility if things go wrong and work hard to put in place the right solutions moving forward. We don’t leave you hanging.
Keep Listening
We listen intently to concerns and criticisms from our customer and our team both on an ongoing basis and during challenging times.
Be Value Driven
We’re driven to find value for our customers, and driven to stick to our Core Values of Teamwork, Relationships, Excellence and Ethics.
