Scale up calm down @ emarsys - How we build Scala teams
summary
Company uses Scala to build a b2c marketing cloud and runs a two‑year pilot where PHP developers switch to Scala; result: two Scala teams and more than ten live projects. Recruitment relies on agencies (most hires), yields about 100 candidates 9 hires, and uses resume screens, homework, pair programming, probation days and code reviews. Engineering practices emphasize TDD, clean code and homemade coding challenges; the pilot succeeds enough to expand but hiring supply in Budapest remains the bottleneck.
