A major media company offering live TV broadcasts and on-demand content through their mobile TV streaming app, catering to millions of users. They strive to provide high-quality streaming experiences across various platforms.

Their commitment to innovation has positioned them as a leader in mobile TV streaming, constantly evolving to meet the needs of their diverse and growing audience.

Our Journey Together

In mid-2023, the client was looking for a solution to streamline the development of their iOS app, cut costs, and speed up feature delivery. After struggling to optimize their existing app architecture, they turned to us for support in revamping the development process.

At the outset, the client sought a senior iOS developer with extensive experience in building scalable architectures that could bridge iOS and tvOS platforms. The goal was clear: unify the codebase for both platforms and improve efficiency. Within a short period, we provided the perfect candidate, and the collaboration was off to a strong start.

Given the complexity of the project, the team quickly expanded. Two additional iOS developers were recruited, and the enhanced team structure allowed us to accelerate development and improve overall project efficiency. Our agile approach made it possible to reduce the client’s costs while also increasing delivery speed, which was critical for their growing user base.

Building the Perfect Team

Like many of our projects, the recruitment process for this client was challenging—not only did we need to find developers with highly specialized skills, but they also had to be a strong cultural fit. We prioritized candidates who could work efficiently in a fast-paced environment and had experience handling media streaming projects. After a series of interviews, the client selected candidates who not only had the technical expertise but also aligned with their long-term vision.

We didn’t stop there. Recognizing the importance of team dynamics, we introduced structured feedback loops and performance assessments, ensuring that the team could adapt and continuously improve as the project evolved. Twice a year, feedback sessions take place to evaluate performance and align expectations.
