StorMagic case study

//// StorMagic

  • HQ: Bristol, UK
  • Industry: Edge storage & virtualization software
  • Company size: 51-200
  • Product: Solutions for mission-critical infrastructure
  • Cooperation type: Global engineering hiring

StorMagic develops edge storage and virtualization solutions used in environments where uptime and reliability are critical. As the company scaled, building a strong engineering team became essential to support product growth and infrastructure stability.

Issue

StorMagic needed to hire engineers capable of working on mission-critical systems without exceeding a strict salary cap of $100,000 per hire.

Traditional hiring markets made it difficult to find specialists with the required expertise within budget. The company needed a partner who could expand the talent pool globally while maintaining high technical standards and ensuring long-term team fit.
