OpenPath Products

We recognize that good software engineering requires more than programming well.

We are collaborative consultants, not ticket-takers, and we help organizations separate meaningful technology advances from industry hype. Our team is as well versed in English as we are with SwiftUI, Kotlin, and C#. We use the Oxford comma and we can’t resist a whiteboard. We value critical thinking, crucial conversations, and an openness to new ideas.

Most of our work serves international users, so localization and region-specific compliance — including GDPR — are standard parts of our development process, not afterthoughts.

Our customer relationships go long and deep — some for well over a decade. We prefer to have a few truly beneficial relationships than a multitude of quick hits.

Our team is entirely based in the U.S. with headquarters in Annapolis, Maryland. We frequently travel to customer locations or host them on site to shake hands, look them in the eye, and ensure we are supporting them well.

Customers come to OpenPath when reliability matters. With SOC 2 compliance and ISO 27001 in progress, we follow formalized processes derived from our 25+ years of carrier-grade development, and we invest in ongoing training to keep those processes current.

We have invested heavily in tools and technology to support the hundreds of applications we have brought to market. With over three thousand devices in inventory, we recognize that delivering to the real world requires development and testing on real devices. We build custom AI tools, such as our “Socratic Duck,” which challenge our developers and QA engineers to find optimal solutions rather than enabling easy answers.

Quality is key. We make expectations explicit: requirements, development plans, test plans, code reviews, release criteria, and ownership. We leverage industry-leading tools such as Appium, Axe, and Droidrun. We create our own testing, coding, and agile tools when others fall short.

Security is non-negotiable. We conduct extensive security training for our team and use SonarQube, Checkmarx, Veracode and other tools to help audit our software. All of which is part of the same formalized posture that underpins our SOC 2 compliance.

We do more than deliver quality builds. We monitor store feedback, watch server logs, and bring new ideas … because the path does not end at launch.

OpenPath’s founders remain actively engaged in the company’s work. That matters to customers because technical judgment, operational accountability, and business context stay close to the project. Our leadership engages directly with every teammate on the floor, not just in review meetings.

When we purchased our headquarters building in 2011, Johanna insisted that we minimize our environmental footprint. She installed 88 solar panels and purchased one of the first production EV cars so our team could perform location-based testing. Our team volunteers monthly at a local food bank which feeds 90 families each week. Most recently, we invested in feather-friendly window screening to protect birds from flying into our 40-foot windows.

The software engineers and QA professionals who thrive at OpenPath are not only strong technically. They communicate clearly, think structurally, ask useful questions, and care about the quality of the finished work.

A solid command of technical fundamentals is essential. But what often distinguishes a strong candidate is curiosity: the project built without being assigned, the tool learned because it solved a real problem, the willingness to understand the larger system.
