Tech9

Tech9 is a custom software development shop based in Lehi, Utah, founded to provide outsourced development teams, design, and staff augmentation for B2B companies. The company emphasizes hiring senior-level engineers only—a deliberate constraint that shapes how it competes. Leadership is US-based and manages client teams directly; the source doesn't disclose total headcount, but project work and client testimonials suggest a mid-sized operation with depth in full-stack development, mobile apps, and UX design.

The company positions itself around what it calls "agentic engineering"—senior developers working alongside AI tools to ship faster. Whether that claim holds up is less clear from the cases than the underlying pitch: you pay for experience, not junior bodies, and you get someone accountable on your timezone.

Services and capabilities

Tech9 offers four main service lines: dedicated outsourced development teams, design (product and UX), staff augmentation, and custom software projects. On the delivery side, the company works through a nine-step process labeled Discover, Strategize, Prioritize, Structure, Frame, Refine, Develop, Review, Deploy. The framework emphasizes "complimentary alignment services" upfront—defining priorities and getting stakeholders aligned before work starts.

Design work is positioned as rapid prototyping with AI, paired with custom solutions where needed. Development covers full-stack projects built for "performance, security, and scale," though specific tech stacks aren't detailed on the homepage. The case studies show work in Flutter (cross-platform mobile), web applications, and integrations. Ongoing delivery is offered through dedicated team models or individual experts for post-launch support.

Notable work

Davinci, a virtual office and meeting room platform, hired Tech9 to overhaul two outdated websites and build third-party integrations with major suppliers. Tech9 rebuilt both sites using current technology and design patterns, then completed one major supplier integration in 30 days. The scope expanded because early design work impressed the client enough to green-light the full project.

Infinite Mind, a mental performance app company, engaged Tech9 to build iOS, Android, and web apps using Flutter. The app ranked in the App Store's Top 10 for Brain Exercise Games and reached thousands of unique paid users. Infinite Mind's CTO noted the single-vendor advantage—"one roof" covering prototype, design, and build. The app is still in active development with browser and feature expansions underway.

Lashbrook Rings, a custom jewelry manufacturer, needed an online ordering system after a failed first outsourcing attempt. Tech9 built live ring customization with on-screen visualization. The result: 25% increase in average order value, higher profit margins, and a new direct-to-consumer revenue stream. Post-launch, Tech9 continued optimizing the mobile experience.

Total Care Auto is mentioned as saving over $1,000,000 by replacing third-party software licensing with custom software, though detailed case material isn't included in the source.

How they work

Tech9 operates with US-based leadership managing your team directly and meeting at your convenience. The company commits to clearly forecasted deadlines and builds teams with timezone coverage to avoid handoff delays. Engagement models include dedicated teams (fully outsourced), staff augmentation (part-time individuals or pods), and fixed projects. Pricing is not disclosed in the source material. On the Davinci case, the pitch was that outsourcing to Tech9 cost less than building in-house while bringing more specialized developers and a dedicated project manager.

Team and credentials

No founding year, founder names, or exact team size are provided in the source. The company lists roles on its site—Project Manager, Architect, Engineering Manager, Senior Developer, Team Lead Developer, Engineer, Product Designer, QA—but no headcount breakdown. The leadership team is "entirely based in the United States." The source mentions "Award Winning" recognition for client satisfaction and employee happiness, and references "lowest turnover" as a competitive point, but specific awards or certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, etc.) are not named. No partner status with major cloud or platform vendors is disclosed.
