The unsung support wins the game.
Position5 is named after the hardest role in DOTA, the position 5 support. The one who sacrifices, enables, and makes sure the team can win. That's the philosophy behind everything we build, as an independent software and data engineering studio based in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
How we think
Build what you'd use
Every product starts as something we needed ourselves. That means opinionated defaults, no feature bloat, and a focus on the problem that actually matters.
Own the stack
We don't hand control to third parties when we can build it right. That's why Nova-Core exists. Full ownership of the sales pipeline, no middleman.
Ship quality, not quantity
We'd rather support a handful of great products and a handful of client projects than ship a pile of mediocre ones. Everything we release is maintained, tested, and used in production.
One studio, one standard
Client work gets the same engineering as our own products. We build software we'd be willing to run ourselves, and we hand it back documented and owned by your team.
Help the community when we can
Software can do real good for the people around us. OpenTN keeps campaign finance data in the open, and we work with Tech Goes Home Chattanooga on AI literacy. When our engineering can help the community, we'd rather it did.
Make the data usable
Most teams sit on data they can't use well. We turn raw data into systems people can act on — the same engineering that processes millions of trades, applied to migrations, pipelines, and the tools a business actually runs on.
