Project Summary
DevTeam.Space supplied a dedicated contractor engineer to augment a small San Francisco-area startup's development capacity for a Ruby/Node web app with mobile compatibility. The vendor provided rapid hiring and onboarding, regular code contributions via GitHub PRs, and support across backend development and testing. Communication was generally effective despite occasional time-zone challenges, and billing was handled biweekly.
Key Challenges
- Difficulty hiring engineers in San Francisco
- Rapid scaling and need for additional development capacity
Project Deliverables
- Engineer resource (contractor)
- Pull requests and code contributions via GitHub
- Back-end and front-end development for web and mobile
- Testing and test-environment improvements
Project Solution
The vendor supplied a single contracted engineer who integrated with the client's team, submitted GitHub pull requests for review, and contributed to backend and frontend work on a Ruby and Node.js web app (also used on mobile). The engagement scaled from roughly 10 to 40 hours per week, included testing and test-environment improvements, and was billed biweekly at about $100/hour.
Project Outcome
- Improved development throughput via assigned engineer submitting PRs and addressing issues
- Improved test environment and testing
- Enabled the company to scale hiring from one to six engineers and survive growing pains
- Smooth invoicing and satisfactory project management
