Computer Systems Design
Architecture for new platforms and rescue work for tired ones — modelling data flow, picking the boring tech that pays off, and producing the documents your team can actually live with.
Code Mountains IT Solutions LLC designs, ships and operates modern software systems for ambitious teams. Houston-headquartered, working across the United States — pragmatic engineering, no theatre.
Code Mountains was founded in 2023 to do one thing well: build modern computer systems for businesses that need them to run reliably, observably, and without drama.
We sit at the intersection of computer-systems design and the broader world of professional, scientific and technical services — bringing platform-grade engineering practice to teams who shouldn't have to rebuild their infrastructure every two years.

Four practices, one team — sized to fit projects from a green-field platform to a steady-state observability rebuild.
Architecture for new platforms and rescue work for tired ones — modelling data flow, picking the boring tech that pays off, and producing the documents your team can actually live with.
Internal platforms, line-of-business apps and APIs — written by senior engineers who write tests and read each other's code.
Cloud platform, observability and SRE work that won't wake your team up at 3am. Logs, metrics, traces, runbooks — the lot.
Pipelines, warehouses, semantic layers — the plumbing that turns raw events into the dashboards leadership can trust.
Every engagement is led by senior engineers who actually write code — no offshoring, no hand-offs to a junior team after the kickoff.
We pick proven tools over fashionable ones. Postgres, Kubernetes, the cloud you already use — chosen for fit, not for hype.
Documentation, runbooks and pairing sessions so your team owns the system at the end of the engagement, not just the artefacts.
Tell us about the system you're working on. We answer every enquiry ourselves, usually within one business day.
