B2B Payments / Blockchain

Industry: Fintech

Country: United States

Year: 2021

Team Size: 50

This B2B payments platform provides modern, blockchain-based solutions designed to eliminate transaction fees and improve the speed, transparency, and security of business payments. With rapid growth and increased product complexity, the company required a scalable engineering operation that could support infrastructure evolution, new features, and expansion into new markets.

The Challenge

  • Hire 25 engineers in less than six months

  • Build a reliable and scalable engineering operation from the ground up

  • Provide ongoing support for technical roles beyond engineering, including implementation and support

Foundations with Necodex

During the initial phase, we mapped out technical needs across engineering, and infrastructure teams. This allowed us to create:

  • A clear hiring roadmap

  • Define talent profiles

  • Establish the operational foundations required to scale

Our alignment process ensured that technical standards, workflows, and engineering culture could be mirrored effectively in the nearshore hub.

Our Solution

Since 2021, we have supported the company by building and enabling a complete engineering organization, starting from zero and scaling to more than 45 engineers in Hermosillo, Sonora. Our contribution includes:

  • Providing dedicated engineering, QA, DevOps, and cybersecurity specialists

  • Enabling team space, operations, and on-site technical support

  • Supporting additional non-engineering roles such as implementation specialists and tech support analysts beginning in 2024

This structure has strengthened product delivery, improved operational efficiency, and supported the company’s growth trajectory as it scaled its B2B payments technology.
