Project Summary

SoftwareMill provided Scala development support for a cybersecurity startup, supplying two full-time remote Scala engineers who augment the internal team and sometimes own entire services. The engagement began in April 2019 and is ongoing; after initial quality and process issues, regular feedback improved delivery and engineers now meet deadlines and deliver consistent quality.

Key Challenges

Need for Scala developers

Project Deliverables

Team augmentation with two full-time Scala engineers
Development and contribution of services (including end-to-end ownership of some services)
Remote engineering support

Project Solution

SoftwareMill augmented the client's development team by providing two full-time Scala engineers who contribute across multiple services. In some cases they take full ownership of a service, and in others they integrate with the existing codebase to improve builds and features. The engagement is remote and ongoing since April 2019.

Project Outcome

Initial quality and process issues were addressed through regular discussions and feedback sessions
Engineers now meet deadlines and demonstrate consistently improving quality
Client reports good remote collaboration and communication
The team initially lacked capacity to scale (could not add DevOps when requested)
