Bits Of Gold
Remote Without the Distance

The challenge

Bits of Gold needed more technology capacity, from people who would be part of the company and not a vendor on the side.

Bits of Gold provides regulated services for buying, selling and managing digital assets. It needed senior and mid-level talent across the stack: Ruby on Rails, mobile and React frontend developers, QA engineers and DevOps. In that environment, the people building the product work with sensitive systems, so security, reliability and company standards apply to every one of them. A remote team in another country usually pulls the other way: separate habits, separate priorities, a separate unit.

It needed a remote team that worked like an in-house one.

The solution

TeamScale built the recruitment and onboarding process around Bits of Gold’s technical requirements and its culture, hiring experienced engineers who could work independently and to the company’s standards. Security and operational requirements were built into the working environment from the start.

The team works primarily remotely and directly with Bits of Gold’s internal teams, with TeamScale’s offices in India available whenever they’re needed.

TeamScale runs employment, payroll, HR, IT and equipment, and works closely with Bits of Gold’s own HR team, sharing ongoing visibility into engagement, satisfaction, development and retention.

The outcome

The team operates as part of Bits of Gold, aligned with its culture and values. That is how its own Chief Product Officer describes it.

Trust grew with the work. What started as software development expanded into a team covering backend, mobile, frontend, QA and DevOps, all running from India.

More than five years on, the partnership is still growing, and Bits of Gold has never had to build employment or HR infrastructure in India.

What started with software development became a lasting technology capability in India.
