MODO is the digital wallet Argentinians use to pay in stores, on public transport and online with QR or NFC, built into the apps of more than 30 banks and used by millions. FlyDevs embedded a senior fullstack engineer into one of its squads — 15 days from request to start, and contributing from day one.
Challenges
One of MODO's squads needed more development capacity without slowing down its delivery pace. A traditional hiring process could take months, and every week without the extra engineer meant roadmap pushed back.
The profile had to fit from the start: a senior fullstack engineer able to move between frontend and backend, with prior experience in financial products that run in production.
Solution
FlyDevs proposed a senior fullstack engineer with fintech experience, selected for the squad's technical and business context. From MODO's request to the first day on the team, it took 15 days. Through staff augmentation, the engineer works as one more member of the squad: same ceremonies, same backlog, same technical leadership. FlyDevs handles selection, hiring and ongoing support, so MODO adds capacity without carrying the hiring process.
a senior profile who already knew this kind of product and could cover both frontend and backend
the engineer went through the squad's onboarding and documentation to get up to speed on the architecture and processes fast
pairing sessions with the squad sped up the transfer of context and aligned on code standards from the start
the squad's own tools, rituals and standards from day one — no parallel process to manage
Result
There was no long ramp-up. From the first day, the engineer was working on the squad's backlog, with the seniority and fintech background to take on real tasks without constant supervision. FlyDevs didn't send a CV: it sent someone chosen for that squad, that stack and that kind of product.
15 days from request to start, and shipping with the squad from day one.
