Telecommunications Giant Sought DevOps Engineer to Expand Into New Markets
Executive Summary
An American multinational Fortune 500 telecommunications conglomerate headquartered in Philadelphia, PA wanted to expand into the smart TV and streaming markets.

The Challenge: Finding the right DevOps Engineer
Finding qualified DevOps Engineers to assist with the application development project presented a challenge. DevOps engineering skillsets are generally difficult to find and given the complexity and secrecy of the project, finding the right candidates was even more challenging.

The Result: Entering a new segment of the telecommunications market
