Extending a Silicon Valley Unicorn’s development capabilities

Our client is a start-up unicorn based in Silicon Valley. They provide solutions that unify user measurements across different devices, platforms and channels, enabling companies to obtain a holistic view of various user touch points and ensuring that links take users to the right places on a website or native app.

Our client had been looking for a self-managed and results-oriented team that would be ready to work autonomously. What’s more, the product consists of a blend of many technologies, so the outsourced developers needed to be highly experienced and technologically flexible. Finally, our client wanted a vendor to fit into their organizational culture, which supports their fast growth.

Our people managed to onboard in one and a half months, which impressed the client. During the first 8 months our team almost doubled in size and included highly sought roles like data science engineers. Apart from the development of the product itself, we suggested and helped to adopt various improvements regarding development and processes. This included experiment-based Lean Startup, Unified Roadmap and many infrastructure improvements (a better CI/CD process, monitoring and alerting). Now our developers are considered co-workers, rather than external contractors.
