Apex IT Solutions builds custom software, web and mobile applications, and DevOps infrastructure for New York-based businesses — delivered remotely from our Rawalpindi, Pakistan engineering hub. New York is one of the densest startup, fintech, and media markets in the world, and also one of the most expensive places on earth to hire engineers. We give NYC founders and teams senior capacity at a fraction of local cost, with a morning overlap window, international contracts, and IP that is unambiguously yours.
What we build for New York companies
- Custom software and SaaS platforms — B2B products, internal tools, and customer portals on modern stacks (Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL)
- Web applications and company sites — from marketing sites to complex web apps
- Mobile apps — iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native
- DevOps and cloud engineering — CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and managed cloud on AWS, Azure, and GCP
- 3D modeling and animation — product visualization and marketing animation
Why New York companies work with a Pakistan-based team
Runway-friendly senior engineering. NYC engineering salaries are among the highest in the US. Pakistan's senior talent delivers the same modern-stack work for significantly less, which is why VC-backed startups use us to extend runway without cutting quality. Honest side-by-sides: Apex vs hiring in India and Apex vs Upwork freelancers.
Communication that survives the distance. Every engagement gets a named lead engineer, weekly demos, and written status updates. English is the working language of Pakistan's tech industry.
Overlap, then follow-the-sun. Pakistan is 9-10 hours ahead of Eastern time: our afternoon is your morning, and the rest of our day runs while you sleep — issues filed at your 5pm are often fixed before your 9am.
Paperwork that protects you. Mutual NDA before any technical discussion, Singapore arbitration as the default jurisdiction for foreign clients, full IP assignment, SOC 2-aligned engineering practices, and USD invoicing through Wise or Stripe. Details on our trust and security page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in New York?
No. Our headquarters and entire engineering team are in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and we are open about that. Work for New York clients is delivered remotely with weekly demos, written status updates, and milestone check-ins scheduled inside your business day.
How do you handle the time difference with New York (ET)?
Pakistan is about 9-10 hours ahead of US Eastern time, so our afternoon and evening overlap your morning. We hold a standing overlap window every working day, and the rest of our day runs while your team is offline — a bug filed at your 5pm can be fixed before your 9am.
Can we sign a US-enforceable contract and meet SOC 2 expectations?
We sign a mutual NDA before any technical discussion, and our default agreement for foreign clients uses Singapore arbitration with full IP assignment to you. We build to SOC 2-aligned practices — least-privilege access, audit logging, and secrets management — and can work within your existing compliance program. More on our trust and security page.
How do payments work from the US?
USD invoicing via Wise or Stripe. Fixed-bid projects are typically 50% at kickoff and 50% at delivery; retainers and dedicated-team engagements run on Net-30 monthly invoices.
How do your rates compare with New York development agencies?
We don't publish a fixed price list because every engagement is scoped individually, but senior Pakistan-based engineering generally costs significantly less than a comparable New York onshore team, where developer and agency rates are among the highest in the US.
