How Oowlish helped Octane rapidly scale their engineering org with embedded senior developers, delivering critical lending platform features on time.
Octane is a fintech company providing point-of-sale lending for powersports, RV, and outdoor equipment dealers. Facing explosive growth, they needed to double their engineering capacity without sacrificing quality or culture fit.
Octane had an ambitious product roadmap but couldn't hire fast enough in a competitive US market. Open positions were taking 45+ days to fill, critical features were delayed, and the existing team was stretched thin across multiple initiatives.
Oowlish deployed 7 senior engineers across frontend, backend, and QA roles — all within the same timezone, fully embedded in Octane's agile workflows, and vetted for fintech regulatory awareness.
First engineers onboarded within 7 business days of kickoff, fully integrated into sprints.
Pre-vetted for PCI compliance awareness, secure coding practices, and financial data handling.
Ongoing performance monitoring, feedback loops, and proactive talent optimization.
Octane doubled their engineering output, hit critical launch deadlines, and maintained 100% retention of Oowlish engineers through the first 12 months of engagement.
Every placed engineer remained on the team past the 12-month mark.
Significant increase in sprint velocity within the first quarter of engagement.
Average time from request to productive team member.
We are ready, are you?
