The local read
Why hiring a typescript developer in Seattle is hard
Seattle founders have access to deep technical talent that's mostly busy. The candidates who do interview want AWS comp, or are leaving to start their own thing. Either way, your 90-day hiring cycle becomes 180.
Different math: one named senior engineer plus AI agents, Pacific Time, ships in two weeks. Flat-price quote after a 30-minute call. AWS-native by default — Bedrock, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3 — same stack your team already runs. Code in your GitHub from commit one. Walk away clean at the end.
A senior typescript developer here is a ~$388K year-one outlay after benefits, payroll tax, and the 60–90 day search. We're a $6,000+ flat engagement that starts inside seven days.

Why this beats a hire
One AI-native engineer.
The output of a team.
One senior typescript developer plus AI agents now ships what four engineers used to. Same code quality, half the cost, three-week timelines instead of three months. Built for pre-seed to Series A founders in Seattle who need to ship before the next round closes.

The work, concretely
What we'd own day to day
The same scope you'd hand to a salaried typescript developer, owned end to end on a flat-price engagement. No coordination overhead, no junior-on-the-bench, no estimation theatre.
- Strict-mode TS with no implicit any, no @ts-ignore creep
- Schema-first runtime validation (Zod) wired to compile-time types
- Shared types between frontend and backend via tRPC or generated clients
- Domain types modeled with discriminated unions — illegal states unrepresentable
- CI checks that fail on type regressions, not just runtime errors
Stack we use
Defaults — we deviate when the project demands it, not because something is fashionable.
