How we build
Five things every Tarmac team gets right
The Tarmac 10 practices collapse into five themes. Together they are why our clients keep coming back, and why 98% of new work comes from referrals.
Speed
Continuous integration and continuous delivery mean working software ships early and often. You see progress within days.
Communication
Daily status emails and daily stand-ups keep everyone aligned. Senior engineers who speak fluent English and work your hours.
Transparency
Pull requests are a shared responsibility and reviews happen in the open. You always know where the work stands and why.
Process
The Tarmac 10 gives every team a shared, proven way of working, so results do not depend on who happens to be on the project.
“Our Tarmac teammates are professional, highly-skilled, and passionate. The total package.”

Software development FAQ
What size companies do you build software for?
From early-stage startups to the Fortune 25. Our Team as a Service model scales up and down with your roadmap, so the same senior team can take you from first prototype to enterprise scale.
Which languages and frameworks do you work in?
We are tech-agnostic. We build in Ruby, JavaScript, Python, Java, and more, plus native mobile in Kotlin and Swift. We choose the stack that fits your product and team.
How do you keep quality high across a distributed team?
Through the Tarmac 10: single-purpose branches, common code style, mandatory automated tests, continuous integration and delivery, and peer-reviewed pull requests. Quality is engineered into the workflow.
Do you replace our team or work alongside it?
Either. Most clients embed our engineers directly into their team, so it feels like an extension of your own staff. On projects like GovDocs we have run 50/50 internal and external teams that share the same standards and rituals.
How quickly can we start?
Fast. Engineers average 14 years of experience and ramp quickly. Contracts are six months with 30-day cancellation, so getting started is low-risk.
