Talent Groups Case Study

Stabilizing Core Platform Architecture for a Rapid-Growth Fintech Firm

A high-growth fintech company specializing in digital bill payment solutions was working to deliver a new software platform for one of their largest clients. In an effort to scale quickly, they had nearshored the project to a development firm in Central America. While the platform passed initial testing, the rollout revealed deep architectural flaws — putting client satisfaction and core functionality at risk.

CHALLENGE

The fintech firm faced a critical moment: its largest client was experiencing system failures due to faulty code pushed into production. The architecture was unstable, and the internal team lacked the specialized expertise and bandwidth to rebuild the solution quickly. With reputational risk mounting and limited internal resources, the company needed immediate access to senior-level software architects capable of rapidly stabilizing and restructuring the platform.

APPROACH

Talent Groups deployed a team of four experienced .NET architects within days of the initial request. As early technical challenges revealed deeper-than-expected architectural complexity, our team quickly adapted refining the approach and aligning specialized resources to ensure project momentum and success. Working closely with the client’s technical leadership, we conducted a rapid code audit and architecture review, leveraging expertise across .NET, Java, AWS, React, iOS, and Xamarin to isolate and prioritize critical code repairs. Over the course of six months, we rebuilt the platform architecture layer by layer while delivering continuous knowledge transfer to the internal team to ensure long-term maintainability.

IMPACT

Through swift action, technical rigor, and hands-on collaboration, Talent Groups helped the client recover from a near-catastrophic launch failure. Our team delivered:

✔ A fully re-architected, production-stable application

✔ Renewed confidence from the end client after successful remediation

✔ Strengthened engineering best practices across the internal team

✔ A trusted partner relationship providing 64+ successful placements
