Software development for Vancouver businesses

JasperByte serves Vancouver businesses with custom software development — SaaS product engineering, web and mobile applications, AI automation, and AWS infrastructure. We work remotely from Calgary, one hour ahead of Pacific Time, which gives a full overlapping working day with Vancouver teams.

Working with Vancouver clients

Vancouver has the densest software market in Western Canada, and it is a competitive one. Companies there are typically choosing between a local agency at Vancouver rates, an offshore team at a fraction of the cost with a timezone problem, and hiring in a talent market where senior engineers are expensive and slow to land.

We sit in a useful third position: senior Canadian engineering at Alberta rates, in a timezone one hour off yours rather than eleven. The work we do most often for Vancouver clients is SaaS product engineering, international trade and logistics systems, and cloud infrastructure that has outgrown whoever set it up originally.

How we work

What working with us looks like.

A full overlapping day

Calgary is one hour ahead of Vancouver. Our afternoon is your afternoon — nothing sits in a queue until tomorrow.

Remote-first, properly

Written specifications, recorded demos, and a shared board rather than a reliance on hallway conversation. This is how we work regardless of location.

Senior engineers, Alberta rates

You get experienced Canadian engineers without Vancouver overheads, and without the coordination cost of an offshore team.

Canadian data and contracts

Canadian entity, Canadian contracts, and data resident in Canadian AWS regions when you need it to be.

FAQ

Vancouver questions.

Are you based in Vancouver?

No. We are a Calgary studio serving Vancouver clients remotely. We say so plainly rather than listing a Vancouver address — a coworking mailbox is not a local presence, and you would find out eventually anyway.

How does the timezone difference work?

Calgary is one hour ahead of Vancouver, which is close to ideal. We start an hour before you and our afternoons overlap completely, so there is no waiting a day for an answer.

How do your rates compare to a Vancouver agency?

Generally lower, because our cost base is Alberta rather than downtown Vancouver. You are getting senior Canadian engineers rather than a discount from offshoring, so the saving does not come with a coordination penalty.

Can you meet in person?

Occasionally, for kickoffs or significant milestones, though we would rather be honest that most Vancouver engagements run entirely remote. If a project genuinely depends on regular in-person presence, a local team may serve you better and we will say so.

Do you work with BC privacy requirements?

Yes. BC’s PIPA and the requirements around public bodies differ from Alberta’s, and we build to whatever your compliance obligations specify, including keeping data resident in Canada.
