Success Story: DevOps for Med Tech Company

Case Study

Hired a DevOps in Argentina engineer for a med tech startup

Client Profile

A fast growing Series A funded medical device company, Cloud Cath, required a senior level DevOps engineer. The company had a complex tech stack with hardware, software, and firmware and a small team of top tier engineers from Stanford.

Plugg was able to understand the needs, provide advice and counsel on the best country given constraints, and presented a small short list. In less than a week Plugg helped the client interview and hire a senior level engineer from Buenos Aires to handle their requirements. The engineer quickly assimilated to the culture, tech stack, and brought fresh ideas to help them scale. Several months later the engineer was a key member of the engineering team. 

Plugg came in and provided deep advice on how to built a call center environment from Managua, Nicaragua. Plugg sourced all the appropriate hardware, setup the environment, tested to ensure it met all the regulations. Then Plugg hired a team of 6 experienced call center professionals. The team has been fully engaged all along and both the company and its clients are very happy. This was all done at a monthly cost savings of about 50% as well.
