When you’re building products that push the boundaries of what’s possible in aerial intelligence, there’s no room for delay. That was the case for a venture-backed cloud services company specializing in drone technology. As demand surged and development timelines accelerated, the company faced a daunting challenge: how to rapidly scale its product and engineering organization, without compromising on quality.
With nearly two dozen open roles spanning engineering, DevOps, UI/UX, product, and API development, not to mention interim needs across critical business systems like Salesforce and Microsoft, the company needed more than just a recruiter. They needed a partner who could act fast, flex to evolving priorities, and deliver high-caliber talent across a wide range of technical skill sets.
That’s where Alliance came in.
