Project Summary
Vention provides staff augmentation to a London-based language-learning platform (Memrise), supplying mobile (Android/iOS), web, backend/DevOps engineers, a UX designer, and a QA engineer. The vendor integrated well with the client’s UK in-house team, delivering high-caliber, collaborative talent and making the client's delivery more operationally efficient. The engagement began in June 2020 and is ongoing, with the client reporting faster deployments (e.g., deploys in roughly half an hour) and strong communication.
Key Challenges
- Need for additional engineering resources to augment the internal team
- Difficulties with an old, untouched iOS architecture that made building and testing challenging
Project Deliverables
- Mobile (Android and iOS) engineers
- Web frontend engineers
- Backend and DevOps engineers
- UX designer
- QA engineer
- Dedicated account management / staff-augmentation coordination
Project Solution
Vention supplied staff-augmentation resources across the client's mobile, web, and backend platforms. They split mobile work into Android and iOS teams (ensuring two people per platform), provided front-end and backend engineers plus DevOps support, and also delivered UX and QA engineers. The vendor provided named account contacts to coordinate the engagement and integrated with the client's tooling (Jira, Trello, GitHub, Asana) and communication channels (Google Meet, Zoom, Slack).
Project Outcome
- Provided high-caliber, collaborative engineering talent integrated with the client's UK staff
- Improved operational efficiency, enabling deployments in roughly half an hour
- Strong communication and account management leading to reliable ongoing delivery
- Reduced development friction on legacy iOS architecture through targeted engineering work
