South AfricaProject Summary
Andersen provides ongoing backend and Android engineering support for a cryptocurrency exchange, helping primarily on architecture and integrations while supplying Go and Kotlin engineers. The team is integrated into the client's agile teams, is communicative and professional, and has acted as the client's primary contingent supplier since the engagement began in Dec. 2017.
Key Challenges
- Shortage of engineers experienced in Go for backend work
- Difficulty finding Android engineers with Kotlin experience
- Need to rapidly ramp up engineering capacity due to market demand
Project Deliverables
- Backend engineering and architecture support
- Bank integrations and payment aggregator development
- Android app rewrite in Kotlin
- Ongoing engineering team augmentation
Project Solution
Andersen supplied Go and Kotlin engineers after a brief trial period and worked to understand the client's open-source architecture and crypto-specific operational requirements. Engineers took ownership of backend work including bank integrations and payment aggregators, and contributed to an Android rewrite in Kotlin. The engagement included account management support and occasional project-management assistance during initial ramp-up.
Project Outcome
- Andersen became the client's primary contingent supplier and handled large projects rapidly
- Integrated six engineers into the client's agile teams who took ownership of deliverables
- Communication and professional standards were high, with strong sourcing speed for additional engineers
