SaaS & Technology
Engineering Teams for SaaS Companies That Need to Ship
Build scalable products, ship features faster, and grow your engineering capacity without the hiring headaches. We help SaaS companies—from seed-stage startups to established platforms—build software that scales.
What We Build
Software Development for SaaS Companies
From early-stage MVPs to scaling established platforms, we help SaaS companies build the technology that powers their business.
Multi-Tenant Platforms
Build SaaS platforms that efficiently serve thousands of customers with proper data isolation, flexible pricing tiers, and white-label capabilities.
API-First Products
Design and build APIs that developers love. RESTful and GraphQL APIs with comprehensive documentation, SDKs, and developer portals.
MVP to Scale
Start with a focused MVP that validates your market, then scale architecture and features as you grow. We build foundations that don't need rewrites.
Cloud-Native Architecture
Modern cloud architectures on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Microservices, serverless functions, containerization, and infrastructure as code.
Analytics & Dashboards
Build product analytics, customer dashboards, and reporting features that help your users get value from their data.
Subscription & Billing
Integrate subscription management, usage-based billing, and payment processing. Stripe, Chargebee, and custom billing solutions.
Common Challenges
Problems We Solve for SaaS Teams
We understand the unique challenges SaaS companies face. Here's how we help.
Scaling Engineering Without Losing Velocity
Growing your team while maintaining code quality and development speed. Our managed Pods integrate seamlessly and maintain your engineering standards.
Technical Debt Slowing Down Features
Legacy code, lack of tests, or poor architecture making it hard to ship. We help refactor and modernize while continuing to deliver new features.
Unreliable Third-Party Development
Burned by agencies or freelancers who didn't deliver? Our Pod model ensures accountability, quality, and consistent communication.
Security & Compliance Requirements
Enterprise customers demanding SOC2, better security, or audit trails. We build compliance into your product from the ground up.
Why Salt
Why SaaS Companies Choose Salt
We've worked with SaaS companies at every stage. Here's what makes our teams different.
Built for Speed
We understand the pressure to ship. Our teams use AI-enhanced development, efficient processes, and clear communication to move fast without breaking things.
Architecture That Scales
We've seen what works and what breaks at scale. We build architectures that handle your growth, not ones that need rewrites at 10x.
Production-Ready Code
Tests, documentation, security reviews, and proper error handling—not just features that work in demos. Code you can trust in production.
True Partnership
Not just developers following orders. Engineers who understand your product, suggest improvements, and care about your success.
Modern Engineering Practices
CI/CD, infrastructure as code, feature flags, automated testing, and observability. The practices that high-performing SaaS teams use.
Flexible Engagement
Start with one developer, scale to a full Pod, or engage us for specific projects. Scale up or down as your needs change.

How to Engage
Flexible Models for SaaS Teams
Start small, scale as needed. Choose the engagement that fits your stage.
Dedicated Developers
Add senior engineers to your team. They integrate with your processes, attend your standups, and deliver features. You manage priorities; they deliver code.
- Pre-vetted senior engineers
- Full-time dedication to your product
- Integrate with your existing team
- 2-week risk-free trial
Managed Pods
Full-stack teams that own features end-to-end. Engineers, QA, and a tech lead—with built-in quality gates and accountability. You focus on what to build; we handle delivery.
- Cross-functional teams (3-8 people)
- SPARK™ framework for quality
- Tech lead for architecture decisions
- Start with a 4-week pilot

FAQs
Common Questions from SaaS Teams
Answers to questions we frequently hear from SaaS companies.
Do you work with early-stage startups or only established SaaS companies?
We work with both. For early-stage startups, we help build MVPs with solid foundations that can scale. For established SaaS companies, we help scale engineering capacity, modernize architecture, or tackle specific technical challenges. We adapt our engagement model to your stage and needs.
How do you ensure my SaaS product stays secure?
Security is built into our development process. We implement OWASP best practices, conduct regular code reviews for vulnerabilities, use secure authentication (OAuth, JWT), encrypt data at rest and in transit, and follow the principle of least privilege. For SaaS products requiring SOC2 compliance, we help implement the necessary controls.
Can you help us build multi-tenant architecture?
Yes, multi-tenant architecture is a core competency. We've built multi-tenant SaaS platforms with various isolation models—database-per-tenant, schema-per-tenant, and row-level isolation. We help you choose the right model based on your security requirements, cost considerations, and scale.
How do you work with our existing engineering team?
Our developers integrate into your existing workflows. We use your tools (Slack, Jira, GitHub), participate in your standups and code reviews, and follow your coding standards. Think of us as an extension of your team, not a separate vendor.
What's your experience with API-first development?
Extensive. We've built developer platforms, public APIs, and internal microservices architectures. We design APIs with proper versioning, comprehensive documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger), rate limiting, and authentication. We also build developer portals and SDKs when needed.
Can you help migrate our monolith to microservices?
Yes, we've helped several SaaS companies migrate from monolithic architectures to microservices. We take an incremental approach—strangling the monolith piece by piece while maintaining system stability. We help you avoid the common pitfalls of distributed systems.
How quickly can you scale up engineering support for our SaaS product?
We can typically add new team members within 2-3 weeks. For urgent needs, we can sometimes move faster. Our pre-vetted talent pool means you skip months of recruiting. Start with a small team, then scale as you grow.
Do you offer a trial period?
Yes, all engagements start with a 2-week trial. During this time, developers integrate with your team and deliver real work. If it's not a fit, you pay nothing and we part ways. This reduces your risk and ensures we're the right match.
