Custom Software Development From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP is a remote software development agency for Australian product teams, built around one idea: a dedicated developer, or a small dedicated development team, working full-time and exclusively on your product, in your GitHub or GitLab org and your AWS, GCP, or Azure account - not a fixed-price project shop that hands you a deliverable and a maintenance invoice. We build custom software end to end - web applications (React or Next.js, Node.js or Python), mobile apps (Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android), the APIs and integrations between them, a Postgres or MongoDB data layer, and AI features where they pull their weight - with an Australian-afternoon overlap for the calls that need to be live, then overnight async delivery, and a senior team lead reviews and tests every change before it ships to you. The engagement is AUD $3,000 per month per developer, Australian Privacy Act aware, with a 7-day risk-free trial. Custom software development services from a partner who is still on your codebase next quarter.
What our custom software development services deliver for Australian companies
A running software product in your cloud account, a developer (or a team) who keeps shipping it on an Australian-afternoon overlap, a senior lead who reviews and tests every release, and Privacy Act aware data handling from the first commit.
Working software in production, not a deliverables list
Real authentication, real data, real payments (Stripe or an Australian PSP), deployed to staging and production - in ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) when data residency matters - monitored, and able to take load. A product your users and your team can actually use.
Your code in your repo, your app in your AWS, GCP, or Azure account
We work inside your GitHub or GitLab org and your AWS, GCP, Azure, or DigitalOcean account from day one. Code, infrastructure, domain, and data are yours throughout, and we keep production in an Australian region when you need it to be.
Whatever the product needs - web, mobile, APIs, data
A web application (React or Next.js with TypeScript, Node.js or Python on the backend), a mobile app (Flutter, React Native, or native iOS and Android), the APIs and integrations between them, a Postgres or MongoDB data layer, background jobs and queues, and AI features where they earn their place. One developer owns a small-to-medium product or a first version end to end; a small dedicated team handles a larger one.
A backend and a data model that survive real load
REST or GraphQL APIs, custom software development from the data model to the deploy, Postgres or MongoDB with sane schema and query performance, Redis for cache and jobs, and the integrations an Australian product needs - Stripe or Pin Payments or Airwallex, transactional email, search, file storage, auth providers, third-party APIs.
Quality control built in, not bolted on
Every change is reviewed and tested by a senior team lead before it reaches you - code review, functional testing, and a check against the agreed scope. On a multi-developer engagement that lead also keeps the team aligned. It is part of the engagement, not a separate billable role.
Deploy, CI, and observability set up to keep shipping
Docker images, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, staging and production environments - in ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) where required - Sentry for errors, logs and metrics, and a deploy you can run yourself.
A developer who is still there in month nine
A dedicated engagement is not a project that ends on a delivery date. The same developer ships features, fixes, performance work, migrations, and scaling work month after month - no maintenance queue, no handoff.

How we scope and shape a software development engagement
No multi-week procurement process and no twenty-page statement of work. A call, a written scope, a trial, then a monthly engagement you can end with 7 days notice.
A scoping call
Thirty to forty-five minutes on an Australian-afternoon slot. You walk us through the product you want built, the stack you are on or want, your timeline, your data-residency needs, and your constraints. No charge and no obligation.
A written scope and team proposal
We send back what we would build in the first month, who we would put on it - one developer to start, or a small dedicated team (more developers, a designer for UI/UX-heavy work) with a senior team lead reviewing the work if the scope warrants it - and the flat monthly price in AUD.
A 7-day risk-free trial
The developer starts on an Australian-afternoon overlap, gets into your repo and cloud account, and ships the agreed first deliverable inside week one, reviewed and tested by the lead. Not a fit by day 7? Full refund.
A monthly engagement, cancel any time
Billed monthly in AUD by bank transfer or card. Seven days notice to stop. No auto-renewal, no minimum term, no Fair Work lock-in. Scale the team up or down a developer at a time.
Software development for Australian companies from AUD $3,000 per month, per developer
One dedicated developer is AUD $3,000 per month for 160-172 hours of full-time, exclusive work in your repo and your cloud account, with an Australian-afternoon overlap and a senior lead reviewing and testing every release. Add developers (and a designer where the build needs UI/UX work) at the same flat per-developer rate. Billed monthly in AUD, 7-day risk-free trial. We do not bill fixed-price project quotes or change orders.
Hourly plan
- A dedicated developer, exclusive to you while you have hours booked
- Pay as you go - billed by the hour, time tracked, a weekly report
- Best for short, defined work; no monthly commitment
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead, built in
Monthly plan
- A dedicated developer, full-time and exclusive - 160-172 hours a month
- The best value for an ongoing engagement
- Your repo, your cloud account, your tools
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead on every release
- 7-day risk-free trial, monthly billing, cancel with 7 days notice
Dedicated team
- A dedicated team - developers plus a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release
- Add a developer (and a designer where the build needs UI/UX work) at the same rate
- Best for long-term, multi-track work; add a developer in 48 hours, no re-contracting
What the first 90 days look like for an Australian software build
A dedicated engagement is rolling, not a fixed Gantt chart. Here is the shape of the first three months on a typical Australian custom software build.
- Week 1
Onboarding and the trial deliverable
Repo and cloud-account access, a working local environment, the first pull request reviewed and merged, and the agreed trial scope tested and shipped to staging. Day 7 is the decision point.
- Month 1
The core of the product, in production
The main flow live - authentication, the primary feature, the data model - deployed to staging and production (in ap-southeast-2 where required), CI green, Sentry wired, a backlog you can see and re-order, and every change shipped through code review and pre-delivery testing.
- Month 2
Depth, integrations, and the rough edges
Secondary flows, the admin surface, and the integrations an Australian product needs - Stripe or Pin Payments or Airwallex billing, transactional email, analytics, search, third-party APIs - plus the first round of UI polish and monitoring tuned.
- Month 3
Release-ready, then ahead of the roadmap
A performance pass, a security and privacy pass (the Australian Privacy Principles basics, plus ISO 27001 groundwork if you are heading there), a real release, and a developer ahead of you on the backlog. Add a developer to the team here if the roadmap grew.
A monthly dedicated team vs an Australian software development agency, a freelance marketplace, or an in-house hire
| Empiric Infotech (monthly dedicated team) | Australian fixed-price project agency | Freelance marketplace (Upwork, Toptal) | Build an in-house team | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | $2,000/mo per developer, flat - scale the team a developer at a time | AUD $80K-$350K fixed bid for a comparable build; change orders billed extra | AUD $80-$200/hr; scope creep comes out of your budget | AUD $120K-$165K salary + ~30% loaded, per engineer |
| Quality control | Senior-lead code review + pre-delivery testing on every release, built in | Per agency - often the same juniors who wrote it | On you to review and verify each contributor | Your own review process, if you have one |
| Who owns the code and infra | You - your repo, your cloud account, from day one | You, on final payment (delivery sometimes staged) | You per contract - check the IP-assignment clause | You |
| Time to start | 48 hours | 2-6 weeks (proposal, SOW, kickoff) | Days to weeks (post a job, review applicants, interview, trial) | 2-4 months (search, offer, notice period, onboarding) |
| When the scope changes | Re-prioritise the backlog - no change order | Change order, re-quote, re-sign | Renegotiate the rate or the hours | Reassign internally - if you have the bench |
| After the first release | The same developer keeps shipping - features, fixes, scaling | A new maintenance retainer, or you are on your own | Re-engage the freelancer, or the codebase goes stale | The team stays - if they stay |
| Scaling up or down | Add or drop a developer month to month | A new SOW for more scope | Find and onboard another freelancer | Hire again - or lay off |
| Employment and invoicing | One monthly invoice in AUD; no Fair Work obligations, super, or payroll tax | Per agency terms | Per contractor; ABN and super tests on you | Salary + superannuation + payroll tax + leave loading |
Figures are typical Australian market ranges, not quotes. A fixed-price agency build of a comparable custom software product commonly lands in the AUD $80K-$350K range before change orders, plus a separate maintenance retainer; a fully loaded in-house mid-level Australian developer runs roughly AUD $12K-$16.5K per month.
Working hours and Australian time-zone overlap
Our team works 09:30 AM - 07:30 PM IST and a project manager is on call 07:30 AM - 10:30 PM IST, Monday to Friday. Here is exactly when that lands for clients in the US, Europe and Australia, your region first.
Australia East (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) - full team online 2:00 PM - 12:00 AM (next day), project manager 12:00 PM - 3:00 AM (next day).A solid block of live hours every business day, with async cover on either side.
US Eastern (New York, Boston, Atlanta) - full team online 12:00 AM - 10:00 AM, project manager 10:00 PM - 1:00 PM (next day).
US Pacific (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle) - full team online 9:00 PM - 7:00 AM (next day), project manager 7:00 PM - 10:00 AM (next day).
UK & Ireland (London, Dublin) - full team online 5:00 AM - 3:00 PM, project manager 3:00 AM - 6:00 PM.
Central Europe (Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid) - full team online 6:00 AM - 4:00 PM, project manager 4:00 AM - 7:00 PM.

Why Australian product teams pick a dedicated team over a fixed-price software agency
Sydney and Melbourne mid-level software hires run AUD $120,000 to $165,000 base, which lands fully loaded at AUD $12,000 to $16,500 a month once superannuation, payroll tax, leave loading, equipment, and recruiting amortised over a typical tenure are in. A fixed-price Australian agency build of a comparable custom software product typically runs AUD $80,000 to $350,000 before the first change order, and then a separate maintenance retainer on top. Empiric Infotech's AUD $3,000 a month per developer is 160-172 hours of full-time, exclusive work, billed monthly in AUD, with the same person on your product the next month and the month after, and a senior lead reviewing and testing every release at no extra cost.
An Australian fixed-price project agency has a structural incentive to protect its margin: junior developers rotated through your build, every change re-negotiated as a change order, and a hard stop the day the statement of work is fulfilled. A marketplace freelancer disappears when the contract ends and the codebase goes cold, and reviewing their work is on you. A dedicated team from Empiric Infotech is one named developer (or a few), full-time on your product, with a senior lead doing code review and pre-delivery testing - the people who know why the data model looks the way it does, still shipping in month nine, overlapping your afternoon for the calls that need to be live.
We have built production software for Australian clients since 2014 - SaaS products, marketplaces, internal tools, mobile apps, and AI features, including Acceleread (a speed-reading training app) and Yield Magnet (a decentralized DeFi marketplace). We can keep production in ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) when residency matters, and the depth shows up in the parts a tutorial skips: data modeling that holds up under real load, query performance, deploys that survive a traffic spike, observability that survives a 3 AM page, security defaults that survive a review, and the honesty to tell you when your project actually needs a specialist or a bigger team rather than the developer you have.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
One dedicated developer for 160-172 hours a month, full-time and exclusive to you, working in your GitHub or GitLab org and your cloud account, with an Australian-afternoon overlap and a senior team lead reviewing and testing every delivery, billed monthly in AUD, with a 7-day risk-free trial. No superannuation, no payroll tax, no Fair Work obligations. Need more capacity? Add a developer (or a designer for UI/UX-heavy work) at the same flat AUD $3,000 per month each.
Yes. Your developer works inside your accounts so personal data stays in your systems, we can keep production in ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) when residency matters, and we will help you document the data flows you need for an Australian Privacy Principles review. We are not your employee or a labour-hire firm - it is a monthly vendor engagement, no Fair Work obligations, super, or payroll tax.
Monthly. We are a software development agency that runs a dedicated-team model, not a fixed-price project model - no fixed-price bids, no change orders. You get a dedicated developer (or a small dedicated team) on a rolling monthly basis, and you re-prioritise the backlog any time.
We do not bill a separate QA seat. Quality control is built into the engagement: a senior team lead or project manager reviews and tests every change before it reaches you - code review, functional testing, and a check against the agreed scope. If you have your own review process, your developer works inside it.
Custom software end to end: web applications (React or Next.js with TypeScript, Node.js or Python), mobile apps (Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android), APIs and integrations (Stripe, Pin Payments, Airwallex, the usual SaaS stack, third-party APIs), data layers on Postgres or MongoDB, DevOps on AWS ap-southeast-2 or Azure Australia, and AI and LLM features where they earn their place.
Australian and New Zealand clients get a daily afternoon live window - roughly 2:00 to 5:30 PM AEST (wider for Perth) - for standups, design review, and pair-coding, then overnight async delivery. You brief in your afternoon and review shipped work the next morning. It is a rhythm Australian founders tend to like.
The first 7 days are a risk-free trial: a full refund if it is not a fit. After that it is monthly billing with 7 days notice to stop - no auto-renewal, no minimum term, no penalty, no Fair Work lock-in. If you ever need to swap the developer, we do it inside the 7-day window at no cost.
Add a developer (or a designer for UI/UX-heavy work) at the same flat per-developer monthly rate, in 48 hours, with no re-contracting. A senior team lead reviews and tests deliveries and keeps the team aligned - quality assurance is part of that lead's job, not an extra charge. Scale back down a developer at a time when the roadmap settles.
Yes. A dedicated engagement means one named person, full-time on your product, month after month - not a rotating bench. Continuity is the point: the developer who built your architecture is the one extending it next quarter.
