186 markets, one desk
AI development agency, city by city
Magic Ship is an AI development agency in Vancouver, British Columbia. One person, one desk, and clients wherever they are. There is a page below for every market we work in, and exactly one of them - Vancouver - is a place we are physically present.
The other 185 pages are not branch offices. There is no local address, no local phone number and nobody on the ground in any of them. What each page does carry is the part that actually differs between markets: how many hours of your working day we share, what happens to the hours we do not, the industries in that market we have relevant work for, and how invoicing and data residency land when the work crosses a border.
If that sounds like a small amount to say about a city, it is deliberately the only honest amount. Pages that pretend to a local presence are easy to write and worthless to read.

Your market is not on the list
Then it is not on the list, and the work is the same anyway. The record set is the markets we can say something true and specific about, not the markets we will take. Tell us what you are trying to build and where you are; a senior engineer answers on scope, timeline and fit.
