Fintech

Dedicated Scala Team

Japan

Challenge

The client had a critical hiring request for dedicated Scala developers to support their rapidly growing BNPL platform. The challenge was to find developers with deep expertise in Scala and its ecosystem, including proficiency in building robust microservices and secure, high-throughput APIs.

Additionally, Paidy required candidates who could seamlessly integrate with their existing tech stack. Fraud protection and adhering to strict financial, regulatory, and local standards of the Fintech business, especially in BNPL, was non-negotiable – because the platform handles sensitive financial and personal data.

Solution

Our recruitment team quickly sourced top-tier Scala developers with specialized Fintech experience. We started with just 2 Scala developers through the first month. A dedicated development team quickly integrated with Paidy’s internal operations, driving the development of microservices and real-time payment processing gateways.

Eventually, we not only met Paidy’s immediate technical needs – but also laid a strong foundation for continuous collaboration and mutual benefits, gradually scaling their team to 10+ skilled developers with diverse skills and technologies.

Retail

Dedicated Scala Team

UK

Challenge

The client had a strategic need to scale their backend systems and cope with increasing data volumes and analytics requirements. The primary challenge was to modernize their existing architecture, which was becoming a bottleneck for a growing number of transactions and customer interactions.

They needed Scala experts who could design and implement efficient microservices and data pipelines. Compliance with security and regulatory standards like GDPR and PCI DS was also a priority, as they were handling sensitive customer data such as payment information, purchase history, and personal details.

Solution

Our recruiters worked closely with the client’s internal stakeholders to understand the specifics of their current systems and the unique requirements of the retail. We built a dedicated team of 20+ software experts, with 7 Scala developers among them – and the team kept growing year to year.

This Scala use case allowed the client to modernize their infrastructure and ensure compliance. The results: faster data processing, improved UX, and better system scalability – that directly contributed to more effective inventory management & customer engagement.

HR

Dedicated Scala Developer

Belgium

Challenge

The client faced a significant challenge in sourcing a dedicated Scala developer locally, as the specialized talent required was scarce. Their HR application needed a global upgrade – to reduce manual administrative efforts and improve the accuracy / speed of candidate matching.

They needed some extra resources for building an extension that could provide real-time insights, predictive analytics, and automated workflows to enhance overall operational efficiency. Security and compliance were also crucial, considering sensitive user personal data they were dealing with.

Solution

We identified top candidates with extensive experience in Scala-based big data and web application development. The selected dedicated Scala developer focused on re-architecting existing applications and developing new modules that streamlined data processing, enhanced UX and system reliability.

Eventually, the client’s application achieved a significant reduction in operational overhead and better candidate engagement – which resulted in gaining another critical competitive advantage in the HR sector.
