MODERNIZING A PLATFORM AND SCALING FINANCIAL SYSTEMS.
A Sequoia-backed consumer fintech serving over 3 million active U.S. subscribers needed talent to help facilitate the rapid growth that came along with post-acquisition integration. Trio’s engineers were able to embed into the existing team and assist with new feature architecture and legacy modernization.

Problem
Compounding Challenges, Minimal Talent
The company faced a bunch of interconnected issues, including existing card and reward systems that they needed to scale, inconsistent stability as a result of two parallel platforms, and a new codebase that needed to be consolidated, all while dealing with legacy SOAP-based integrations. They just did not have the talent on board to deal with everything, and onboarding in these circumstances was difficult.
Solution
Rapid Onboarding of Skilled Talent
Trio’s engineers had the experience in financial technology to be able to embed directly into the company’s teams and take full ownership without waiting for direction. They had the skills to investigate what they needed to do and adapt to deliver a complete rewards system, migrate SOAP services to REST, stabilize the legacy system, and much more, all while creating the documentation that would limit future difficulties.
Impact
Millions of Users on a Future-Ready Platform
Trio’s work allowed the company to ship their rewards system and get ready for a credit card product launch, along with successfully integrating 200,000+ users into their cashback initiative to grow their total subscriber base into the millions.
