About Eldritch

We build software for complex systems.

Eldritch, Inc. is a software company focused on the engineering problems that emerge as artificial intelligence becomes part of larger, increasingly complex software systems.

The company

Engineering the systems around intelligence.

Eldritch was founded to build ambitious software at the intersection of distributed systems, automation, developer infrastructure, and artificial intelligence.

Today, our primary focus is Azathoth: an open-source framework for constructing, evaluating, and optimizing AI workflows.

We believe increasingly capable AI systems require the same engineering discipline expected from every other important software system: explicit architecture, repeatable evaluation, measurable behavior, and evidence-driven optimization.

Selected history

Three decades of technological change.

Today

Artificial intelligence

Building AI infrastructure, autonomous workflow systems, evaluation frameworks, and Azathoth at Eldritch.

Cloud era

Distributed systems & engineering transformation

Architected cloud platforms, event-driven systems, enterprise infrastructure, and modernization initiatives while coaching engineering organizations through major technical transitions.

Internet era

Networked applications & multiplayer systems

Built enterprise web applications, telecommunications platforms, RFID systems, real-time audience technologies, and commercial multiplayer gaming infrastructure.

Origins

Science & computation

Began in medical device research, molecular biology, and plant genetic engineering before moving fully into software.

Engineering leadership

Build systems. Build engineers.

Engineering is not only architecture and code. It is also the ability to create environments in which other engineers become better.

Eris founded QDivision, an internal engineering accelerator that graduated 23 engineers across three cohorts into production Agile teams. Every graduate advanced to a senior engineering role within approximately one year.

What comes next

The next transition is already underway.

Eldritch exists to help engineer it.
