US SaaS Technology Company (Emerging Growth Stage)
Engagement

The challenge
What the client was up against.
A fast-growing SaaS company landed a major enterprise contract requiring 5x their current development capacity. They needed to grow from 5 in-house engineers to 25 within 90 days. Traditional hiring timelines of 60-90 days per engineer would be too slow. They needed experienced engineers who could integrate immediately into their development workflows, tech stack, and agile processes.
The solution
How AB7 deployed.
AB7 Solutions deployed 3 waves of dedicated full-time engineers over 12 weeks: 8 engineers (weeks 1-4), 9 engineers (weeks 5-8), 8 engineers (weeks 9-12). Each engineer was pre-screened for their tech stack (Node.js, React, PostgreSQL), completed skill assessments, and was onboarded with pair-programming for 2 weeks. AB7's engineering manager worked with the client's CTO to maintain code quality and culture.
