Scaling a research platform with a blended engineering team.

An Amsterdam biotech company needed to improve the scalability and performance of a research data platform as usage grew. Acveti provided a blended team that scaled from four to nine engineers: on-site for close collaboration, remote for scale, improving the platform’s performance while the in-house team stayed focused on the science.

The challenge

The challenge.

The platform was straining under growing data volumes and usage, and the in-house team lacked the engineering capacity to re-architect for scale while keeping research work moving. The company needed engineers who could work closely with its scientists on the hardest parts and enough additional capacity to do the broader engineering, without pulling the science team into infrastructure work.

The solution

How Acveti solved it.

01

A blended team

On-site presence for close collaboration with the research team, plus remote engineers for scale, operating as one group.

02

Built for scale

Work focused squarely on the platform’s scalability and performance under growing load, not just new features.

03

Grew with the need

Capacity scaled from four to nine engineers as the work expanded, so the effort matched the platform’s trajectory.

Implementation

From brief to launch.

  1. Brief

    Bottlenecks mapped

    Scalability and performance priorities agreed with the client’s team.

  2. Ramp

    Blended team formed

    On-site and remote engineers embedded with the in-house group.

  3. Build

    Re-architected for scale

    The team improved performance as data and usage grew.

  4. Ongoing

    Scaled 4 → 9

    Capacity added as the platform’s needs grew.

The outcome

What changed.

The biotech improved the scalability and performance of its research platform without diverting its scientists into engineering work, a blended team that grew from four to nine engineers took on the re-architecting while the science team kept its focus. On-site presence for the hardest parts plus remote capacity for the rest let the platform keep up with its own growth.
