The BuzzFeed Portal project involved expanding BuzzFeed's engineering capabilities by building a dedicated, remote development team with expertise in web and mobile technologies. FlexMade became a long-term partner, providing engineering support that contributed to the development and maintenance of BuzzFeed's platform for breaking news, video content, and shareable online media. BuzzFeed, a prosperous and rapidly expanding media company, sought efficient means to enhance current online products and develop new ones. Being aware of FlexMade's skilled talent pool in web and mobile development, they opted to explore the prospect of partnering with them. BuzzFeed was looking for a development team that shared its values and mission. In 2012, it was essential to feel that your remote development was not only skillful but also reliable, accessible, and predictable. FlexMade's approach focused on assembling a remote team that could operate effectively alongside BuzzFeed's internal engineering department. We began with 2 mobile developers, 4 QA engineers, and 3 front-enders, and the team eventually grew to 15 members. We prioritized engineers with excellent communication skills and requested that our Europe-based team members work shifted hours for specific key roles to guarantee significant overlap with the New York timezone. Our emphasis was on convenient collaboration and providing high-quality services.

HuffPost sought technical assistance for two crucial initiatives: improving the existing comment system and developing a high-performance banner advertisement platform. As HuffPost grew in popularity, its comment system needed to handle millions of interactions daily, while also integrating intelligent content moderation to ensure a respectful and constructive environment. Additionally, HuffPost required a robust banner ad system capable of serving millions of impressions, targeting specific audiences, and generating detailed performance reports. In 2007, FlexMade was recommended to HuffPost as a trusted vendor with expertise in creating scalable, high-load web systems. After successfully completing a series of trial tasks, we became deeply involved in these projects, assembling multiple teams to address the platform's evolving needs.
