Situation
The company was expanding into multiple financial products while rapidly growing its engineering organization. Delivery speed was slowing, technical complexity was increasing, and engineering leadership needed to evolve to support the next phase of growth.
Challenge
- Delivery becoming unpredictable across multiple product teams
- Technical debt increasing faster than it could be paid down
- Cloud infrastructure becoming harder to maintain
- AI initiatives lacking engineering governance
- Compliance requirements (SOC 2) not yet addressed
Approach
The engagement focused on creating long-term engineering leverage rather than solving isolated technical issues. Work began with an engineering assessment, followed by organizational improvements, platform modernization, and the introduction of delivery metrics.
What We Changed
