Kaluza's needs
Grow the software team
To meet the growing demand for its innovative cloud technology, Kaluza needed additional developers to join different software squads, working across various products.
Quick project kick-off
The company required expertly skilled software engineers who can not only hit the ground running, but proactively contribute to new product development and tech stack expansion.
Modernise tech stack
Some of the main technologies required to augment the skills gap were React, ES6, NodeJS, Typescript, GraphQL, Go, Python, microservices architecture, Kafka and cloud technologies.

Zartis was able to quickly hire 4 engineers with the required skills, significantly increasing the capacity of one of the teams in a short span of time.
Since 2019, our team has expanded to nearly 30 engineers working across different products, and squads – from locations such as Spain, Italy, Romania, Greece, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, the UK, France and Croatia.
