Vulnerability detection tool for SaaS

The company, an established company inCybersecurity headquartered in United States, needed to solve this challenge:“vulnerability detection tool for SaaS”. More than business knowledge, what wasmissing was verifiable experience in the project's specific technical stack: aprevious hiring attempt hadn't worked out, generating extra cost and delayingthe market opportunity. On top of this, there were methodological problems inteam and project management: inconsistent agile ceremonies, poor visibility intodependencies, and a delivery cadence that was hard to predict. The competitivewindow was short: a competitor with a similar product was already gainingmarket share.

Squad Challenge designed 4 challenges,one per position, based on the business case itself, with an average of 5candidates analyzed per position (20 evaluated in total), delivering the finalshortlist in 7 days. Since the client also raised methodological problems inteam and project management, Squadmakers recommended bringing in an additionalAgile Coach for the squad.

Squad Hiring managed, within 24h, theAOR-based hiring of the candidates validated through Squad Challenge, handlingcontract generation adapted to each developer's country of origin, datavalidation, and the onboarding process.

The squad brought on 5 profiles (MLengineer, Squad Lead, full-stack developer, mobile developer, Agile Coach)working on a stack of Java (Spring Boot), Vue.js, Cassandra, PostgreSQL,GitLab, GCP, Flutter. The company already had its own technical team, intowhich the professionals proposed by Squadmakers integrated directly —theybecome part of the client's team, not Squadmakers'—, respecting existingprocesses and priorities. The engagement ran for 16 months in total.
