IT Staff Augmentation
for AI B2B Commerce Platform
Tech StackTechnology We Used
Project Overview
A US-based AI B2B commerce platform was onboarding more enterprise buyers, ERP and CRM integrations, and product releases faster than its internal team could hire. Starling Elevate provided IT staff augmentation, embedding software engineers, QA specialists, DevOps professionals, and frontend and backend developers into the client's existing product organization.
The four-month engagement covered React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Redis across buyer portals, bulk ordering workflows, catalog enhancements, API integrations, and cloud infrastructure for the commerce platform.
Augmented engineers joined sprint planning, backlog refinement, code reviews, and release cycles as integrated team members, working alongside internal developers on enterprise commerce features without disrupting active delivery.
The staff augmentation model included engineering assessment, specialist onboarding, Agile squad integration, commerce platform development, quality validation before releases, and ongoing support as product priorities evolved.
