# Software Development Company in Málaga > Software, AI and product engineering for Málaga startups, tech teams and established firms, led by the founders and senior engineers on the Costa del Sol. Source: https://authect.com/malaga Authect builds custom software, AI features and digital products for startups and established companies in Málaga. You work with the founders who build your project, and a senior engineer leads every build. ## Building software in Málaga's technology scene Málaga has become **one of southern Europe's technology cities**. The Málaga TechPark, a growing startup community and international companies opening engineering offices have changed what the city is known for. That is good news for Málaga, and hard on anyone hiring: experienced engineers are in demand, and an early-stage company can lose months trying to fill a single senior role. A studio is the alternative for **a defined piece of work**: a first product, a rebuild, an integration or an AI feature. You get a senior team for as long as the project lasts, and your own hires can take over a documented codebase when they arrive. Alongside the startups, Málaga is still a city of **tourism, logistics, agri-food and family businesses** with decades of history. Many of them now need the same modern engineering as a startup, applied to systems that have quietly grown over the years. ## Who we build for in Málaga - **Startups, Founders building a first product**: A focused first version with the code in your own repository, built on a modern stack your future engineering team will be happy to inherit and extend. - **Tech teams, Companies that need senior capacity**: A scoped project delivered alongside your team without a hiring round: a new module, a migration, a platform upgrade or an AI feature with proper evaluation. - **Agri-food, Growers, packers and exporters**: Traceability, orders and quality records for produce that travels across Europe, connecting the farm, the warehouse and the buyer in one system. - **Established firms, Tourism, logistics and services**: Internal tools that replace spreadsheets and email chains with one system, connected to the software you already pay for and built for the people who use it daily. ## What we build for Málaga companies In Málaga we are usually either the first engineering team or an experienced extra pair of hands. These services cover both roles. - [Application development](https://authect.com/services/application-development): Web and mobile products built from the first sprint with testing, monitoring and documentation, so your first engineering hire inherits order rather than a mystery. - [Generative AI](https://authect.com/services/generative-ai): AI features that reach production: assistants, search over your content and automated workflows, with evaluations, cost limits and an engineer reviewing every line. - [DevOps](https://authect.com/services/devops): Pipelines, infrastructure as code and environments that let a small team release often and recover quickly when something goes wrong. - [Legacy software modernization](https://authect.com/services/legacy-modernization): Rebuilding the systems established Málaga firms rely on, step by step and side by side with the old ones, so the business never stops. - [Software audit](https://authect.com/services/software-audit): A clear assessment of an existing codebase before you raise, buy a company or choose whether to rebuild, with priorities rather than a list of complaints. ## Working with us from Málaga - **Founders on the Costa del Sol**: In Spain, our founders work between Marbella and Madrid. Planning happens online, and once a project is under way we can meet in Málaga, for example for a demo to your investors. - **In your tools and your process**: We work in your repository, your review process and your chat, so the project feels like part of your team rather than an outside agency. - **Spanish and English**: We work in both, so technical discussions with your engineers and conversations with the rest of the business can each happen in the language that suits them. - **Handover built in**: Code, infrastructure and designs belong to you from day one, and we document as we go, so your in-house team can take over whenever you are ready. ## Málaga: common questions ### Why use a studio instead of hiring developers in Málaga? Hire when the work is permanent. Use a studio when the work is a project with a clear goal: you avoid months of recruitment for a single build and keep the code and documentation. Many teams do both, and we hand over to in-house developers regularly. ### Can you work with our existing engineering team? Yes. We join your pull-request process and planning, follow your conventions and document decisions as we go, so the handover is a formality rather than another project. ### How do you use AI in your own development work? We use AI-accelerated delivery to move faster on routine work, but a senior engineer reviews every line before it ships. Speed never replaces judgement on architecture, security or quality. ### Can you help a traditional Málaga business modernise its systems? Yes. We start by understanding how the business runs today, then replace the most painful system first, migrating data carefully and training the team, before moving on to the next. ## About Authect - Authect is a founder-led software development studio: clients talk to the founders who build their project, never a salesperson. - Every project is led by a senior engineer.
