We build software for Washington DC companies
Building the thing is usually the easy conversation. The one that decides it happens with people who ask first about accountability, documentation and who owns what.
- When we are actually working
10:00 to 19:00 IST, 04:30 to 13:30 UTC, year roundIndia does not change its clocks, so that window never shifts with daylight saving. North American teams sit outside it for most of their day. Work gets scheduled around that rather than pretending otherwise.
- Where your code and deployments sit
Your Git hosting and your cloud accountsCode lives in your repositories and deployments run in your cloud accounts. If you have neither we provision them and hand the keys over on day one.
- Who is in Washington DC
NobodyEvery software engineer on our team works from India. Atyantik has no DC office, no US entity and nobody on your side of the water.
Tell us what you are building.
You get a reply within one business day, with a technical person on the call.
Start with a paragraph
What it does, who uses it, and what has to be true before you can sign. One business day, technical person on the call.
Here is the disqualifier
Washington DC companies include associations, government contractors and government-adjacent work. We do not do any of it.
Does your project cross a federal contracting boundary?
No
Choose this when
It is private or public sector work outside federal contracts.
It costs you
You fit. Everything we say here applies to you.
Yes
Choose this when
It is government work, government-adjacent, or requires a federal contractor.
It costs you
We hold no US security clearances and no federal contracting vehicles. Stop here and find a supplier who does.
What every engagement carries
- A core team assigned only to your project, not a rotating bench.
- A lead software engineer you talk to directly. No handoffs you did not agree to.
- Written scope before work starts and written change notes before changes are accepted.
- Code review on every commit by a senior software engineer.
- Architecture documentation, deployment guides, CI/CD pipeline documentation and technical specifications.
- Code ownership: your IP from the first commit, in your repositories and your cloud accounts.
- First response within one business day from a technical person, not a salesperson.
How the engagement runs
Every DC company we work with asks the same thing: what is written down. The answer is everything. Scope is agreed in writing before work starts and every change is written down before it is accepted.
What gets written down
Scope before work starts
What that commits us to
The first conversation returns a scope: what the software does, who uses it, and what has to be true before you can sign. The scope goes into writing before the first line of code. Changes to that scope become change notes.
Change notes before changes enter the build
What that commits us to
Every change request becomes a written change note. Time, effort and cost are laid out before approval. Nothing moves on a re-scope you have not accepted. That applies during the build and post-launch on maintenance or lean-mode arrangements.
Code review on every commit
What that commits us to
Every line of production code is reviewed by a senior software engineer before it merges. No exceptions. GitFlow, unit tests, integration tests and CI/CD gating enforce it on every commit, not just on the important ones.
Here is the version to paste
At some point you have to explain this to someone who was not in these meetings, and who will never read a supplier's website.

Atyantik Technologies, software delivery supplier summary
- Supplier. Atyantik Technologies. All software engineers based in India. No US entity, no Washington DC office.
- Hours. Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 19:00 IST, which is 04:30 to 13:30 UTC, all year. India does not change its clocks, so that window never shifts with daylight saving. North American teams sit outside it for most of their day. Work gets scheduled around that rather than pretending otherwise.
- Code ownership. Every line of code is your IP from Day 1. Code in your repositories and deployments in your cloud accounts. If you have neither we provision them and hand the keys over. Senior software engineer reviews every commit before it merges.
- Scope and change control. Scope is agreed in writing before work starts. Every change request becomes a written change note with time, effort and cost before approval. Nothing moves on a re-scope you have not accepted. That applies during the build and post-launch.
- Documentation. Every project starts with architecture, deployment, CI/CD pipelines, business requirements and technical specifications. Change log records every decision. First response is one business day, technical person on the call.
- Federal contracting. We hold no US security clearances and no federal contracting vehicles. If your project is government work, government-adjacent or requires a federal contractor, we cannot do it.
Or put us in front of them instead
Send the paragraph and we bring these answers to the first call, within one business day.
Who owns the code?
Your code is your IP from Day 1. The mechanism matters because the default does not hand it over. Under US copyright law the author of a work is the first owner. A software development firm is not your employee, so the firm owns the code unless the agreement assigns it. That assignment has to be in writing before the code exists, so the copyright vests in you as each file is created.
Our position is that every line of code is your intellectual property from the first commit. For that to be true the agreement has to carry that assignment of future copyright, in writing, before work starts. Ask for the clause and check it is there.
Four things you can open and check
The repository
Commits land in your Git hosting, in your account, from the first one. Check: whose organisation owns the repository today.
The cloud accounts
Deployments run in your cloud accounts and your storage. Where you do not have them we provision, set up and hand the keys over. Check: whose billing account the environment sits in.
The documentation
Every project starts with documentation: architecture, deployment, CI/CD pipelines, business requirements and technical specifications. Owning copyright in code you cannot deploy is ownership on paper. Check: hand the pipeline documentation to another firm and ask whether they could run a release from it.
The change log
Every change goes through code review by a senior software engineer with GitFlow, unit tests, integration tests and CI/CD gating each merge. Every change request becomes a written change note before it enters the build. Check: pick a decision that looks odd and ask where it is recorded.
Whether to call us
Where we fit
You are building or rebuilding a product and want one team on it rather than a rotating bench. You get a core team assigned only to your project.
Accountability and documentation matter more than the fastest ship. Scope in writing before work starts, change notes before changes are accepted.
Your project is private or public sector work outside federal contracting.
Where we are the wrong call
Your work is government work, government-adjacent or requires a federal contractor. We hold no US security clearances and no federal contracting vehicles.
You need somebody reachable across a full US working day. Our window is 04:30 to 13:30 UTC. We do not offer continuous cover.
You want to see delivered work before you talk to anyone. There is a better starting point than a contact form.
Questions your own process will generate
Do you have an office in Washington DC?
Who owns the code we pay for?
Can you work on government contracts?
How are changes to scope handled?
How long before work starts?
Tell us what you are building
A paragraph is enough. What it does, who uses it, and what has to be true before you can sign.
If accountability and documentation are what matter most to you, say so. We bring those answers to the first call.
- You get a reply within one business day with a technical person on the call, not a salesperson with a software engineer copied in.
- The first conversation returns a scope, and the number follows the scope.
