Online Rewards: Remote Engineers for a Retail Loyalty Platform
Project overview: remote engineers for a loyalty platform
Online Rewards provides customer loyalty programs for retailers. We staffed remote developers for the platform in Java, Elixir, and mobile, including a specialized Elixir engagement in 2022.
About Online Rewards
Online Rewards provides customer loyalty programs for retailers. Shoppers earn and redeem rewards, and the retailer runs the program on a platform that has to stay up as offers, members, and redemptions change.
The challenge: specialists for a live loyalty platform
A loyalty platform spans more than one codebase. Online Rewards needed engineers who could work in Java, in Elixir, and on mobile, and who could join the team that already owned the product.
Elixir was the scarce skill. In 2022 the company asked several agencies for candidates and needed someone who could do the development, not a generalist learning the language on the account.
Who we staffed
We provided a dedicated remote team for the loyalty platform: developers in Java, Elixir, and mobile.
The Elixir engagement ran from June through December 2022. It was custom software development and staff augmentation. The CEO reported that Maxiom submitted the most qualified candidates of the agencies invited to propose people, and described the engineer as professional. The working relationship was fast and accurate.
What a loyalty platform asks of the engineers
- Members and offers. Enrollment, points, and rewards have to match what the retailer promised.
- More than one stack. Java services, Elixir services, and mobile apps can all sit on the same program. A change in one place has to agree with the others.
- Elixir on arrival. The 2022 hire was for Elixir development specifically, placed with the team that already ran the platform.
