Meridianstacks is a distributed team of senior engineers that builds software for Vancouver companies, covering the Pacific-time morning overlap with live standups, calls and reviews. You get the work of a senior agency — for cleantech, biotech, gaming and SaaS — at roughly 50–75% below a Vancouver or wider BC agency, with native-level English and engineers you meet before you commit. Your matched hub is Lagos (UTC+1) — your whole Eastern morning overlaps our afternoon, live, every day.
Meridianstacks is a software development company for Vancouver — a distributed team of senior, fluent-English engineers, not a Pacific-time office. We cover your morning overlap window (about 8am–noon PT) with live collaboration, then carry work forward through your afternoon. You own all code and IP, we sign a PIPEDA-aware DPA, and you pay 50–75% less than a local BC agency, quoted as a fixed price in CAD.
From idea to launched product for Vancouver startups and scale-ups — fast, scoped, and built to put in front of users and investors.
Data, monitoring and platform builds for BC's cleantech sector — sensors, dashboards and reporting at scale.
Research tooling, lab workflows and patient-data platforms built with careful access controls and auditability.
Unity and C++ work, real-time backends, matchmaking and live-ops for Vancouver's deep games industry.
Vetted, full-time engineers embedded in your team and standups on a simple monthly retainer, in CAD.
React/Next.js and Laravel on the web; Flutter & React Native for iOS and Android from one codebase.
The reason Vancouver firms hesitate over distributed teams is the 12-hour handoff, patchy English, and not knowing who is actually building their product. Meridianstacks removes all three for the BC market: engineers who keep a daily standup window in your morning, native-level English, and senior engineers you video-call before you commit. We are upfront that Pacific time means a thinner overlap than Toronto — so we structure each day around your morning to keep momentum.
