Project Summary

Sombra provides staff-augmentation services to a nonprofit, supplying two full-stack engineers and two game engineers who work on mobile UI/UX, service development, and game mechanics. The engineers use technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, React Native and AWS. The team integrated well with the client’s internal staff, communicates effectively via Jira and Slack, and the engagement (started June 2021) is ongoing.

Key Challenges

Need to rapidly scale engineering capacity without necessarily hiring full-time employees.
Fill specific technical gaps (mobile UI/UX, service development, and specialized game-engine roles).
Onboard contractors so they work effectively as integrated members of the internal team.

Project Deliverables

Two full-stack engineers capable of mobile UI/UX and service development.
Two game engineers focused on game mechanics and UI/UX development.
Pre-screened candidate presentations and hiring support.
Integration support and periodic project management from a Sombra project manager.

Project Solution

Sombra provided staff augmentation by prescreening and presenting candidates to fill engineering gaps and scale the client's team up or down as needed. They placed two full-stack engineers (covering mobile UI/UX and service development) and two game engineers (focused on game mechanics and UI/UX), and periodically provide a project manager. The engineers used AWS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, and React Native, and the vendor supported onboarding and integration into the client’s workflows.

Project Outcome

High-quality candidates who integrated as internal team members and contributed within sprints.
Effective communication through Jira and Slack leading to smooth collaboration.
Supportive project management and proactive feedback solicitation from Sombra.
