From 1 to 15 engineers in under two years
A growth-stage hedge fund needed to scale its technology organization rapidly while maintaining the discipline and process standards required in a regulated investment environment. They had one engineer and a mandate to build a team, with no operational infrastructure to support growth.
The firm had a single engineer and a growing backlog of critical infrastructure, reporting, and compliance needs. Leadership knew they needed to scale engineering capacity quickly but lacked the DevOps foundation, hiring frameworks, and operational processes to do so safely. Uncontrolled growth risked inconsistent quality, security gaps, and regulatory exposure.
Saberin Software embedded with the firm to design and implement the foundational infrastructure first. We established DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, access controls, and environment management standards before scaling the team. We then supported the hiring process by defining roles, assessing technical candidates, and onboarding new engineers into a structured, documented environment. Staff augmentation filled critical gaps during the transition period.
- DevOps infrastructure design and implementation
- Process and engineering standards development
- Technical staff augmentation to fill gaps during scale-up
- Hiring support: role definition, technical assessment, onboarding
- Security and access control frameworks
The firm achieved its engineering growth targets within two years, with all 15 engineers operating in a structured, well-documented environment. The DevOps foundation established at the start meant that new engineers became productive quickly and security standards were maintained throughout the growth period.
