About Us
By Experienced and Professional Web Developers
Engine Room designs, builds, and secures digital assets for the world’s most innovative companies. We’re technologists, coders, creatives, and engineers seasoned by decades of work that lives up to the highest standards in our industry. We’re proud to say all of our team are U.S. based, and we are always looking to add stellar professionals to join our roster of talented pros.
Our name and overall philosophy is inspired by a lifetime love for rowing crew, specifically the middle positions on the boat. Known as the “engine room,” the middle four seats are positioned on the widest and heaviest part of the shell, which makes it the sturdiest. So when the inevitable bumps or small movements happen, they do not impact the overall balance and performance of the boat. The rowers in this position must be consistent in producing power for the boat. All of which applies to what we do, how we work, and how we add value for our clients.
It’s a team sport, so everyone on the team has to be on the same page and rowing in the same direction. If your boat is full of the strongest athletes but no one is working together, you will not be maximizing their strengths. It’s about depending on one another to bring their best, every race, every time. It’s an apt metaphor for our business and we infuse the notion of “perfect orchestration” into everything we do.

Culture By Design
We agree with David J Friedman who said “No single factor – not sales, marketing, finance, strategy, or operations – has more influence over the ultimate success of an organization than its culture.” That’s why we have implemented 37 fundamentals that drive Engine Room every day. This follows from what we learned reading “Culture by Design”.
BUILD. TEST. TWEAK. REPEAT. Quality and Service.
There’s a reason our second hire in 2014 was a Quality Assurance expert. We are fanatical about quality and service. We promise to deliver technical solutions that align with clients’ business objectives.We promise to make our clients digital assets run like a fine tuned machine. We promise to provide fanatical response to urgent and critical issues and uncompromised attention the rest of the time.
Security Built In
Engine Room is one of the few companies that specializes in web application security, not just firewall/network security, and you need both to run a website well. We’ve cut our teeth with some of the largest companies in the world with very strict data security standards, and now all of our clients benefit from this experience.
