The customer's platform is a vital resource for individuals seeking assistance in resume writing, CV reviews, interview coaching, and resume posting. In their recent endeavors to expand platform capabilities, they ventured into acquiring several start-ups within their industry. They intended to integrate these new products into their platform's roadmap seamlessly.
During this process, they encountered challenges as the acquired start-ups required more technical expertise. This resulted in acquisition process gaps. With our collaboration, they aimed to bolster their technological capabilities, refine project management, and enhance software quality. The overarching project had the following primary objectives -
Technical Proficiency - The client sought developers with expertise in Golang, Ruby on Rails (RoR), and React to tackle many facets of their software applications. This specialized skill set will be indispensable in continuously developing, maintaining, and optimizing their intricate technology infrastructure.
Efficient Project Management - The client was in search of a skilled Technical Project Manager with the proficiency to implement Scrum methodologies and adeptly manage a team of 22 engineers within a dedicated business unit. The primary objective was to streamline project management procedures, enhance team productivity, and ensure the timely delivery of exceptionally high-quality software products.
Enhancing Quality Assurance - To establish robust quality assurance processes, there was a need for a Senior QA Engineer. The primary emphasis was elevating the overall quality, bolstering reliability, and refining the intricate testing procedures in the software applications. This aimed at creating an environment conducive to an enhanced user experience and decreased software-related issues, thus fortifying the platform's reliability and performance.
“Velotio’s remarkable technical expertise across GoLang, RoR, and React, coupled with their project management skills, is exemplary. The successful integration of numerous products into our platform has received overwhelmingly positive user feedback.”
