The story of our collaboration

In 2021, Carbyne and Newxel forged a valuable partnership.

When we at Newxel had our first contact with Carbyne in 2021, the client already had a small development team in Ukraine. However, it was the perfect moment because they were about to scale said team.

At Carbyne, they were attracted by the diverse potential of the Ukrainian tech market, but the client desired an even more robust team to enhance their operations. The goal was laid out ambitiously – to swiftly enlarge this team and strengthen it with omni expertise.

Our journey commenced with the efficient hiring of a rare gem – a real-time communication software engineer – who began to function in the role by early March of 2022.

Building on this success, we continued recruitment efforts, securing 2 DevOps experts, 1 AQA specialist, and a versatile full-stack developer proficient in Java, Scala, and Angular. Despite facing challenges due to a lack of required expertise, specifically RTC engineers, Carbyne together with Newxel adapted, managing to find and hire a top-tired specialist in Ukraine. Moreover, our client, with the example of his own team, was convinced that Ukrainian developers could work effectively even in war conditions, and Newxel, as the vendor, could arrange all the conditions for this.

The partnership between Carbyne, Newxel, and the team flourished thanks to exceptional communication, solid leadership, innovative technologies, and outstanding benefits. The team found a supportive and caring environment, fostering high retention rates and unwavering loyalty. Remarkably, Carbyne demonstrated their commitment to both the partnership and societal welfare by generously granting their life-saving software to the Ukrainian state emergency service.

This partnership stands as a testament to the potential for collaboration in the face of adversity, showcasing Carbyne and Newxel’s joint ability to overcome obstacles and deliver exceptional outcomes.

‘We are extremely happy with Carbyne and Newxel’s cooperation and mutual work. Newxel is a real partner in our journey!

The Story

It was the summer of 2018, Newxel team was visiting Israel to meet with clients and discuss a potential partnership. At that time we first met with the CTO and VP of Engineering at Anodot, defined the company needs, tech stack, and the number of developers that were required at the initial stage of creating the offshore R&D team. Eventually, all details of the cooperation have been approved, and this is how the story of our long-term partnership began.
Immediately after returning to Ukraine, we launched the recruitment process and started looking for DevOps developers. Currently, the team consists of 9 programmers and constantly replenished with new team players. In 2020, the Anodot team in Ukraine grew by 43% — a tremendous growth especially given the challenging period of the pandemic.
This is an absolutely independent and highly qualified team with a Team Lead and Site Manager (DevOps). The guys are working with several Anodot projects, showing excellent results and winning an internal hackathon for the second year in a row.

Key Goals

Hire experienced DevOps, Front-end, and Back-end developers. Create a strong offshore-based team that will work autonomously and achieve incredible results. 

Newxel Approach 

Newxel has built a strong engineering team of  DevOps, Front-end (React) & Back-end (Python) software developers with deep expertise to help in creating and improving AI platform for data analysis.
From the very beginning, it was well-coordinated cooperation with the client who carefully selected candidates, conducted technical interviews, gave feedback on each candidate, and always collaborated, since we had a common goal — to create a cohesive Anodot team in Kyiv, find developers who are fully consistent with the requirements, have the appropriate knowledge and expertise.
We started the hiring process with only one DevOps and soon the team grew to 4 people. We are very proud to have been collaborating with Anodot for so long and will continue to provide reliable services aimed to grow & maintain their R&D team in Ukraine.
