Platform rewrite delivered
The challenge After their Series B, the client needed to ship a major platform rewrite while keeping the existing product alive. Hiring in NYC was slow and prohibitively expensive.
A NY-based Series B SaaS company needed to double engineering capacity in 6 months without
doubling spend. We embedded 6 engineers in the Algarve across 5 months — paired senior +
mid-level in a deliberate ratio.
By month 4 the team was contributing at the same code review cadence as the NYC team. The
platform rewrite shipped 3 weeks ahead of schedule.
