5×5 Technologies
Delivering cloud talent to help startups thrive with AWS Activate.
Read more
The challenge
5×5 Technologies is a Florida-based start-up that helps organizations manage, protect, and monetize their physical assets by using cutting-edge 3D spatial computing, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI).
The business had been looking to recruit a number of key senior AWS professionals that not only possessed the technical expertise to jump straight in and get the work done, but that would also be the best cultural fit for its start-up environment.
The solution
5×5 Technologies was first introduced to the team at Jefferson Frank by its AWS partner representative.
The organization took advantage of Jefferson Frank’s exclusive Activate Offer, which helps Activate members build their teams at a heavily discounted rate. As a start-up, 5×5 Technologies has a strict budget and needs to find the right people at an affordable but competitive market rate, so the Activate offer was integral to its recruitment strategy from a budgetary perspective.
To date, our Strategic Alliance team has filled six permanent roles, including Physical Science Team Lead, Principal Data Scientist, Lead DevOps Architect, CAD/Graphics Engineer, Cloud/DevOps Engineer, and Angular UI Developer.
The benefits
The approach taken by the Strategic Alliance team at Jefferson Frank has been both collaborative and consultative, as Anne Zink, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of 5×5 Technologies, explains: “Jefferson Frank ensures we are competitive and offer salaries comparable with not just other start-ups but with larger companies too – like your Facebooks and Apples – that are also competing for the same highly skilled resources.
“This kind of support is super valuable to us, as we don’t always have the intel on the market rates and work perks we should be offering to attract the best talent. The service from Jefferson Frank has been excellent in that regard, and we look forward to working with the team on future job openings.”
The AWS professionals placed by Jefferson Frank are now in the process of building out 5×5 Technologies’ innovative platform, encompassing everything from web architecture for its cloud-based offering, to AI and ML, as well as pioneering new work in the robotic sensors space.

Evondos
Building the future of home care robotics: AWS‑driven talent transformation
Read more
Customer background
The challenge
As Evondos expanded across multiple European markets, the company faced increasing pressure to hire highly specialized engineering talent capable of supporting its rapidly evolving product roadmap. Their previous recruitment model relied heavily on multiple local agencies, which made it difficult to maintain consistent quality, create hiring efficiency, and build cohesive internal knowledge. This challenge was compounded by the scarcity of AWS‑aligned cloud engineers, AI specialists, IoT experts, and advanced software developers in the Nordic and Benelux regions.
Evondos needed a partner capable of supporting hiring newly acquired technologies, integrating teams brought in through acquisitions such as Medido and Vitacam. Demand for niche technical talent was rising quickly, competition for engineers was high, and their existing recruitment partners lacked the specialization needed for long‑term strategic growth.
The solution
The relationship began with an introduction from an AWS SMB Account Manager and a strategic conversation with Evondos’ CTO. From that point forward, a centralized, AWS‑aligned software model utilizing TalentEdge was implemented to streamline recruitment, resource management, and project delivery across all active regions. The approach focused on delivering a consistent, high‑quality talent pipeline and project capabilities while replacing the fragmented delivery model. Talentedge enabled the customer to carefully navigate the challenge of project delivery and market growth in one place – understanding of resource scarcity, location of headcount investment, and achievable technology capability advancement from those resources.
The partnership incorporated marketplace as a channel for sourcing and delivering specialist AWS talent, enabling the recruitment of roles deeply rooted in cloud engineering, DevOps, AI/ML, IoT, and software development. Delivery was executed across Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, with continuous collaboration to ensure the hiring approach was aligned with Evondos’ long‑term technology and scaling strategy. Over time, Evondos began treating the partnership as an extension of their internal hiring function, relying on senior‑level trust and cross‑group alignment to support their engineering growth.
By leveraging TalentEdge, we were able to source specialists aligned with these technologies, including expertise in:
- IoT scalability and device security built on AWS IoT Core, AWS IAM, Amazon VPC, and AWS PrivateLink, enabling safe communication between thousands of medication robots and the cloud.
- Event‑driven healthcare workflows using AWS Lambda, allowing low‑latency processing of medication schedules, device alerts, and patient notifications.
- Containerized and server‑based compute environments running on Amazon ECS and Amazon EC2, supporting the backend services and robotics‑management systems used across Europe.
- Highly available and compliant data storage through Amazon RDS, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon S3, critical for medical event histories, telemetry data, audit logs, and firmware distribution.
- Infrastructure standardization and observability using AWS CloudFormation and Amazon CloudWatch, helping engineering teams maintain consistent deployments and proactive monitoring across multiple countries.
The results
The collaboration has already produced strong, measurable results. 14 permanent hires have been made across the Nordics and Benelux, representing a mix of software engineers, cloud specialists, DevOps professionals, AI/ML engineers, and IoT talent. Six of these roles were sourced and delivered directly through AWS ACE, demonstrating the effectiveness of the AWS‑aligned approach. Delivery speed and accuracy significantly improved compared to Evondos’ previous recruitment setup, allowing them to scale engineering teams more reliably during a competitive hiring period.
Trust has been established across the entire organization from the CTO and engineering leadership to local teams reinforcing the role of the partnership as their preferred long‑term hiring engine.
Innovation and differentiation
The partnership with Evondos stands out due to its ability to deliver consistent, high‑quality engineering talent across multiple countries while maintaining deep alignment with AWS technologies and standards. Instead of a transactional recruitment approach, a long‑term strategic model was developed that mirrors the company’s geographic expansion and evolving technical roadmap. This includes embedded market knowledge, AWS‑specialist sourcing capabilities, and the capacity to deliver in highly competitive talent markets where qualified candidates are limited.
Evondos has repeatedly emphasized that we are their key strategic hiring partner valued for speed, accuracy, and the ability to operate effectively in a niche, high‑demand engineering environment. This differentiation has been central to their shift away from their previous partner and toward a more scalable, multi‑country recruitment model.
Future plans
Evondos’ growth trajectory continues to accelerate, and the demand for engineering, cloud, AI/ML, robotics, IoT, data, and hardware talent is expected to increase significantly across 2026 and beyond. Expansion remains active across the Nordics and the Netherlands, and the establishment of their new UK subsidiary in 2025 will introduce a major new region requiring long‑term hiring support. Their acquisitions such as Medido and Vitacam are also expected to drive additional recruitment across integrated teams and emerging product lines.
Internally, the account is positioned to become one of the strongest long‑term strategic partnerships due to Evondos’ multi‑country expansion, technical complexity, AWS alignment, and the consolidation of recruitment responsibilities away from their former partner. As the company continues to scale across Europe, the hiring pipeline is expected to grow significantly, creating sustained opportunities for deeper collaboration and expanded delivery.
eVolve MEP
Delivering a fast, personalized service.
Read more
The challenge
eVolve MEP is a US-based business with offices in Atlanta and Denver that helps mechanical, electrical, and plumbing industries harness the power of SaaS platform-based products.
After evaluating the company’s product strategy and deciding to use AWS as the platform and infrastructure provider, eVolve MEP identified the need for several new Developer and Engineer roles within its internal team.
With AWS professionals being more open to remote work due to the pandemic, eVolve MEP could widen its candidate search across the whole of North America and knew they would need help to find and attract top candidates.
The team asked their AWS sales representative to recommend an AWS recruiter and they were subsequently introduced to Jefferson Frank to kick-start the hiring process.
The solution
Jefferson Frank worked with eVolve MEP to craft a fast and efficient recruitment process. Our recruiters advised on the best approach to take with interviews and technical tests, ensuring each stage was thorough and candidates were engaged.
After eVolve MEP shared its job specifications with our consultants, we supplied a sample of resumes. Based on their initial feedback, we refined the specifications and set about finding candidates that matched the criteria for each role. We delivered a quick turnaround on this, and in some cases, we had qualified candidates ready to start the interview process in just a few days.
The option to work from home, combined with flexible hours, was attractive to candidates, but more than anything, the opportunity to work on an exciting product using the latest technology and a serverless stack while doing cutting-edge work day-to-day appealed to the type of developers eVolve MEP wanted to hire.
So far, we’ve placed four candidates in React Developer, Senior React Developer, AWS Senior DevOps Engineer, and AWS Senior Backend Engineer roles. eVolve MEP also adapted one of these positions to fit the particular skill sets of a candidate the team was keen to hire. We’re now also assisting with another three Developer vacancies.
The benefits
With regards to the benefits of engaging with Jefferson Frank, Clay Freeman, VP of Products at eVolve MEP, explains: “Professionals who are generalists or possess limited experience with infrastructure setups, such as serverless, need a considerable amount of time to research and test an approach, and you often learn things too late in the process.
“I knew if we could hire professionals with specialized AWS skills and significant experience in the exact type of work we wanted to do, that this would save us time in the long run—I just didn’t anticipate how much time! In some cases, work that I thought would take two to three months to complete was turned around in a week. That’s the benefit of eliminating research time and a trial and error process—an expert can come in and do it straight away.
“Hiring for such niche roles is not something we could do internally. That’s why having access to Jefferson Frank’s database of qualified candidates and a team of expert recruiters on hand is incredibly valuable to a business like ours.”
Exos
A solid partnership responsive to the client’s needs.
Read more
The challenge
Founded in 2018, Exos is a New York-based FinTech creating a leading B2B institutional finance platform by rethinking financial services from a clean slate and deploying best-in-class technology, talent, culture, data science, and quantitative strategies.The business was looking to build out its team with new AWS talent but was finding the hiring landscape challenging due to recent disruptions to the job market caused by the global pandemic.
As a state-of-the-art FinTech, Exos has particularly high standards in what it looks for in a candidate. Successful Exos applicants do not necessarily need financial service experience, but they are required to have strong technical expertise in engineering, data science and/or quantitative strategies, with a passion for developing a great company in collaboration with other highly-talented team members. The organization’s strong engineering culture and high caliber of people motivated to continually challenge themselves is what differentiates Exos from its competitors. These soft skills, combined with strong cloud-native, infrastructure as code and in-depth AWS subject-matter expertise, were crucial requirements but also proving difficult to source.
Following a recommendation from the company’s contact at AWS, Exos reached out to Jefferson Frank for specialist help in navigating its hiring challenges to recruit for its DevOps roles.
The solution
Jefferson Frank worked with Exos on pivoting its job specification to attract more suitable candidates, as Brittany Phillips, Vice President of People Solutions at Exos, explains: “Jefferson Frank was direct in saying that it was going to be challenging to find a candidate willing to work in the office five days a week. So, based on their advice and feedback, we relaxed our in-office requirement to a hybrid role of two to three days instead.
“We knew it would be hard to find the right candidate who not only had the technical ability for the job but who also had the collaboration skills required to build relationships and learn from others in and out of the office while working remotely. The team at Jefferson Frank did a great job in casting a wide net in our search and presenting only those who met or exceeded our high standards.”
Jefferson Frank subsequently filled Exos’ DevOps position with an exceptional candidate who sped through the technical skills test prior to meeting a few of their future colleagues to ensure there was a great fit for both the candidate and the team. Exos really appreciated the professionalism, efficiency and expediency Jefferson Frank demonstrated throughout the recruitment process.
The benefits
By working with Jefferson Frank, Exos was not only able to hire a great DevOps Engineer, but it was also able to make an additional opportunistic hire for another role that was not yet open. “The second candidate couldn’t have come at a better moment, as our business is rapidly expanding,” Brittany says. “Being able to hire top-notch talent quickly and efficiently through our partnership with Jefferson Frank is enabling us to exceed our business objectives.”
Jefferson Frank was flexible and collaborative throughout. Not only do we effectively screen candidates, but we also work with our clients to adjust to their evolving needs. Brittany explains: “Whenever I passed on an applicant, they always took my feedback on board and adapted accordingly without getting offended.”
She continues: “I particularly liked engaging with my dedicated Jefferson Frank recruiter at least once or often twice weekly in candidate round-up discussions. This was super helpful and made my life much easier. They also did an excellent job collaborating with me on forming an offer and communicating directly with the candidate for more information. This significantly freed up my time for other tasks.”
Discussing the quality of the service delivered overall, Brittany concludes: “It’s been great working with Jefferson Frank. It’s definitely been a team effort from day one and it’s good to know we have a solid partnership in place for other roles we need to fill in the future.”
Global Management and Technology Consulting Firm
Reimagining contract processing with AI: A rapid build journey
Read more
Customer background
A global management and technology consulting firm specializing in profitability improvement, digital transformation, and data‑driven strategy. The company focuses on humanizing data by translating complex information into actionable insights that help organizations make better decisions and drive purposeful change. With deep expertise across healthcare and financial services, this firm develops modern solutions that streamline operations and unlock measurable business value. Doczy.ai, a AI‑powered document intelligence platform is part of this broader commitment to innovation and digital enablement.
The challenge
The customer set out to build Doczy.ai, an intelligent SaaS platform designed to help healthcare and financial organizations digitize contracts and transform them into a structured knowledge base. The vision was to create a system capable of interpreting documents with human‑like understanding and the ability to extract key data, generate insights, and enable advanced metrics and KPI tracking. To bring this vision to life, the team needed to navigate several natural challenges that often accompany the development of an AI product. With a small internal team guiding the technical direction, the organization faced bandwidth limitations during a period of rapid innovation. At the same time, the team was expanding its familiarity with AWS services, modern data architecture patterns, and contemporary product development practices. These areas required additional support to ensure the platform could be scaled effectively. Some existing business processes had been designed for earlier operational models and needed to evolve to support the demands of this AI‑driven solution. Addressing these challenges was essential to maintain momentum, gain full visibility into the emerging product ecosystem, and ensure Doczy.ai could launch as a competitive, enterprise-ready offering.
The solution
This customer engaged with TalentEdge to build and engage resources and project teams to ensure project success. The engagement began with a one month discovery period, during which the selected Jefferson Frank TalentEdge team and worked side‑by‑side with to clarify the product vision and understand the operational realities behind Doczy.ai. Rather than relying on a rigid blueprint, the team adopted an agile, iterative approach which allowed for discovering, designing, and executing simultaneously to maintainmomentum and accelerate time to value. Over the next four months, this approach enabled the transformation of previously manual document processing workflows into a unified, application driven platform that gave the customer full visibility into how Doczy.ai would function across its data flows, processes, and supporting technologies. Multiple environments were established to support continuous testing and rapid iteration. A cross‑functional team of three specialists, UI/UX, front‑ and back‑end engineering, and DevOps, bootstrapped the application and established a CI/CD pipeline. Feature flags such as authentication were progressively enabled and promoted through the environment. During the implementation, the team discovered that the existing backend approach was more complex than the product required at this stage. After evaluating the design, they streamlined the system to a more efficient and manageable setup, which reduced operational overhead and brought the platform into better alignment with their broader product strategy.
As development progressed, the team identified several manual handoffs embedded in the original document processing workflow. These steps were documented, analyzed, and ultimately automated, creating a fully integrated, end‑to‑end process for Doczy.ai. Once the backend foundation was in place, it was paired with the UI/UX layer to deliver a polished MVP that reflected both the technical and user‑experience goals of the product.
The platform was built on a robust suite of AWS services including EC2, ECS, ECR, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, RDS (Postgres), SQS, SES, EventBridge, Bedrock, and CodePipeline, along with Bitbucket supporting source control and VPN/Elastic infrastructure ensuring secure connectivity. Throughout the engagement, AWS specialists provided targeted guidance on emerging AI capabilities and service optimization, helping the team accelerate development and fully leverage the platform’s potential.

Global SaaS Technology Provider
Scaling with confidence: Building a modern, automated AWS landing zone
Read more
Customer background
A global SaaS technology platform provider for the capital markets industry, offering advanced tools for trade execution, order management, market data, analytics, risk management, and post‑trade services. Founded in 1994, the company has long been recognized as a pioneer in electronic trading technology, connecting clients to major international exchanges and liquidity venues across asset classes including derivatives, fixed income, FX, and cryptocurrencies. With a mission to deliver high‑performance, scalable, and secure trading infrastructure, the customer continually invests in modernizing its cloud foundation to support rapid innovation and global growth.
The challenge
The customer needed a more reliable, scalable, and automated process to provision AWS accounts across its organization. Prior to this engagement, the company relied on a manual, time‑consuming process for creating new accounts, which caused delays, inconsistencies, and operational overhead for the centralized IT team. As the organization expanded, the lack of a consistent, repeatable, and fast account vending process became a significant bottleneck. The team looked to establish a Terraform‑based infrastructure‑as‑code pipeline integrated with AWS Control Tower, enabling standardized governance and automated provisioning. Without this automation, the company faced slower onboarding, increased support tickets, and challenges maintaining security and compliance across environments.
The solution
To address these challenges, the customer engaged with Jefferson Frank’s TalentEdge solution for more accurate forecasting, better resource planning, and improved oversight of new account creation. From there, TalentEdge enabled the customer to identify the correct technical support required to achieve its goals.
The team designed and implemented a Terraform‑driven landing zone built on AWS Control Tower. The solution centered on a Git‑based workflow where infrastructure code was stored, versioned, and automatically deployed through AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild. This pipeline executed Terraform configurations that integrated directly with AWS Control Tower to create and configure new AWS accounts within the organization. The architecture also incorporated AWS Organizations, Amazon EC2, Amazon EKS, and supporting CI/CD AWS services to ensure a cohesive and scalable cloud foundation. AWS played a critical role in helping debug the initial pipeline configuration, specifically around Account Factory for Terraform (AFT), which required troubleshooting to function correctly out of the box. The entire engagement was completed within a focused four‑week timeline, delivering a fully automated, production-ready solution.
The results
The new automated landing zone delivered an immediate and measurable impact. During the engagement alone, the customer successfully created more than a dozen AWS accounts using the new pipeline, and since deployment, the solution has been used to provision over 100 AWS accounts. By eliminating manual account creation, the company now saves an estimated three to four hours per account. The streamlined process has also led to fewer support tickets, faster deployment times, and improved security compliance through consistent, policy-driven provisioning. With automation in place, the IT team can now focus on higher‑value initiatives rather than repetitive operational tasks.
Innovation and differentiation
The solution stood out not only for its seamless integration of Terraform, AWS Control Tower, and a fully automated CI/CD pipeline, but also for the depth of engineering collaboration required to make the system production-ready. This implementation demanded a tailored approach to Account Factory for Terraform (AFT), due to the unreliability of the out-of-the-box functionality. Working closely with AWS, the team resolved pipeline issues, optimized the Terraform workflow, and ensured consistent account vending across the organization. This hands‑on troubleshooting became a defining aspect of the project, demonstrating how the customer embraced a modern, infrastructure‑as‑code operating model while navigating the complexities of advanced Control Tower features.
Future plans
With the new infrastructure‑as‑code foundation in place, the customer plans to migrate its legacy AWS organization into the newly automated environment. This transition will allow the company to standardize governance, improve security posture, and fully leverage the benefits of the new landing zone. The solution also positions the organization to adopt additional AWS services and expand its automation strategy, supporting long‑term scalability and innovation across its global trading platform.

The challenge
An elite team of certified cybersecurity experts, GuidePoint Security delivers business-critical security solutions for big-name customers on a daily basis; when a job comes in, they often need extra resource quickly to be able to successfully execute their projects.
When a GuidePoint Security customer—one of the largest accountancy firms in the world—began work building out their next-generation cloud platform, the firm needed talented AWS professionals to help them deliver.
Faced with a tight turnaround, GuidePoint Security knew that its internal teams would be unable to source the candidates needed in time.
The solution
GuidePoint Security turned to Jefferson Frank to source these candidates fast. The company needed multiple AWS DevOps Architects and Engineers, and had a very specific candidate profile in mind—they needed DevOps skills and cloud computing experience, but even more importantly than that, they required candidates who were a great culture fit, had a positive attitude and were hungry to learn.
Jefferson Frank was able to source candidates with the skills, high-level enterprise experience, and the incredible drive that GuidePoint Security needed to deliver results for their client.

The challenge
Pearl is a software solutions company that’s using AI technology to power the future of dental care. As a rapidly growing startup, Pearl needed experienced cloud candidates who could hit the ground running.
Pearl was struggling to find candidates with the aptitude and experience they needed with their internal recruitment efforts. The candidates that they’d managed to source so far simply didn’t have the skillsets or experience they were looking for, and many presented logistical obstacles like requiring sponsorship.
The solution
Realizing they needed support from industry experts to source the high-caliber talent they were searching for, Pearl reached out to Jefferson Frank for help.
Though candidates with substantial experience using the tools and services that Pearl employ were rare, the Jefferson Frank team was able to use their extensive technical expertise, and in-depth knowledge of the local candidate market to source a robust shortlist of qualified professionals.
Few of Pearl’s previous candidates were able to pass their technical tests, but the candidates provided by Jefferson Frank were able to competently prove their experience, furnishing Pearl with a choice they hadn’t previously had.
Just two weeks after Jefferson Frank received details of the position, Pearl had a new Front End Developer who has been able to tackle their challenges head-on and is already developing actionable solutions and making informed decisions that are improving Pearl’s products.
Jefferson Frank later found a DevOps Engineer for Pearl and is continuing to help them grow their team. Pearl has also referred Jefferson Frank to another business.
The benefits
By engaging with a specialist staffing organization with practical knowledge of the market in their area, Pearl was able to slash their time-to-hire and onboard the kind of senior candidates with the right skills that they’d previously been unable to find.
The team at Jefferson Frank communicated clearly with Pearl throughout every step of the process, offering support and accurate information that helped Pearl attract the talent they needed and better understand the market in their area.
