Challenge
Scaling the team during rapid growth
The platform experienced rapid growth as a startup in Sweden, facing typical scaling challenges when it comes to their team.
The client, a leader in the SMB Lending space, faced typical scaling challenges. Fast-paced expansion made recruitment difficult, prompting the management team to explore external engineering partners to ramp up capacity.
An interesting introduction, indeed
The platform discovered us from an article in Industry Press, one of the biggest tech and startup publications in Sweden.
Solution
Strategic Engineering Augmentation
Given the complexity of the SMB Lending platform and high-quality demands, we assembled a team of senior developers and engineers ready to roll up their sleeves. This team contributed to the platform's backend and frontend systems, system design and architecture, as well as establishing a robust engineering culture with best practices.
Custom credit engine
Our team actively contributed to creating the platform's credit engine and core systems using .NET technologies on top of relational and non-relational databases, as well as Azure. These custom solutions enabled the platform to deliver value efficiently to their end customers while maintaining control over the technology stack.
Back office and integrations
As the company scaled, it became crucial to enhance and extend all systems across mobile apps, web platforms, and back-office operations. Our team contributed by introducing new features, managing system migrations, and integrating complex third-party services, alongside a robust SRE and DevOps infrastructure in the cloud to ensure stable and reliable operations.
Team Diversity
Our team contributed across the stack, working on data, infrastructure, backend, and frontend systems. We take pride in taking an active role in every aspect of this comprehensive and dynamic system.
