DevOps case study-

Driving DevOps capability in the property sector

The problem

A leading property business was undergoing a major phase of digital change and needed to scale its DevOps function to support future growth. The organisation required engineers who could accelerate delivery pipelines, optimise cloud infrastructure and improve collaboration between development, platform and operations teams.

The existing setup lacked the automation and tooling expertise needed to improve speed, resilience and efficiency across its digital services.

How we solved it

We partnered closely with the organisation to understand its engineering challenges, delivery bottlenecks and long term digital roadmap. From this, we built a targeted hiring strategy designed to strengthen both their DevOps capability and their wider engineering function. Our team delivered a blend of specialist roles, including three Senior Backend Engineers, Software Engineers, .NET Engineer, Senior Front End Engineer, an Engineering Manager and a Site Reliability Engineer. Together, these hires enhanced the organisation’s ability to accelerate delivery pipelines, optimise cloud infrastructure and embed stronger engineering standards.

The DevOps talent we delivered improved automation practices, refined CI and CD pipelines and strengthened platform reliability through modern observability and incident response approaches. This combination of DevOps, reliability and core engineering talent provided the organisation with the capability it needed to modernise effectively. The solution continues to underpin their digital services today, supporting stronger performance, improved collaboration and faster delivery across the business.
