An enterprise SaaS company with 5,000 seats and 14 enterprise customers was mid-hire on Senior FE + BE roles. The 3-month timeline meant slipping their multi-tenant refactor by a full quarter.
We would have waited three months for one hire. We got two senior engineers, a PM, and a QA in six days.
What we did
- Placed a 4-person squad, 2 senior engineers, PM, QA, inside their existing codebase in 6 days.
- Ran the multi-tenant refactor as the primary workstream.
- IP assigned from commit #1; code lived in their GitHub org from day 1.
- Squad rolled into month-to-month engagement after the 8-week minimum.
The numbers
- $380,000 saved over 5 years vs. the equivalent FTE cost path.
- 100% code + IP ownership from day 1.
- 6 days from intro call to first PR merged.
- Squad still engaged 14 months in at time of publication.
