A UK healthcare-technology startup building a clinical platform to support treatment decisions needed engineering capacity it couldn't hire fast enough locally. Novanexom placed a four-person team — full-stack, Python, QA and DevOps — that worked inside the client's process for twelve months.
The embedded team — four specialist roles working the client's sprints for a full year.
Recruiting experienced full-stack, Python, QA and DevOps engineers in the UK takes months per role — time an early-stage product roadmap doesn't have.
UK salaries for four senior engineers plus recruitment fees would have consumed a disproportionate share of an early-stage budget.
Software used in patient treatment contexts demands disciplined QA and reliable release infrastructure — not just extra hands writing code.
A full-stack engineer, a Python engineer, a QA engineer and a DevOps engineer — a balanced unit covering feature delivery, core platform work, quality and infrastructure.
The team worked the client's standups, sprints and tooling with daily UK-hours overlap — augmentation, not outsourcing-over-the-fence.
Dedicated QA and structured release practices matched the standards a clinical product demands.
The same team, twelve months, no churn — continuity that compounds in a complex domain where context is everything.
