Deploying a 4-Engineer Senior Pod to Accelerate a Real-Time Risk Engine by 4 Months

Quantix Capital is an institutional investment management firm trading global equities, foreign exchange, and digital assets.

The Architectural Challenge

Quantix was facing a critical roadmap roadblock: their internal engineering team needed to launch an institutional real-time risk mitigation engine ahead of an upcoming fund opening. Local recruitment agencies estimated a 5-to-7 month hiring timeline with hefty placement fees.

The Engineering Solution

Starstruck assembled and placed a specialized engineering pod within 72 hours: 1 Lead Architect, 2 Senior Full-Stack TypeScript/Go Engineers, and 1 DevOps Specialist. The engineers integrated directly into Quantix's GitHub, daily 9:00 AM EST standups, and Jira boards.
