Problem the Founders Are Solving

Problem the Founders Are Solving

"

Modern performance marketing teams run campaigns across multiple platforms—Google, Meta, and LinkedIn—but lack a unified system to analyze ads, creatives, and competitor strategies. The data remains fragmented, making it difficult to understand which assets are performing well, what drives CAC/CPC changes, and how competitors are leveraging high-performing creatives.

Approach to Building the Shatterpoint Engineering Team

Shatterpoint set out to build an AI-native operating system that unifies fragmented data, automates analysis, and enhances advisory capacity:

01

Understanding AlphaGen’s Vision & Technical Demands

Before assembling the team, we ran a deep-dive with the founders to understand:

  • The product direction (AI-powered analytics, multi-model pipelines, scalable dashboards)

  • The velocity required to hit investor milestones

  • The long-term architecture roadmap

This gave us a clear blueprint of the exact engineering muscles the team needed.

02

Talent Identification With Precision

Instead of sourcing “generic” developers, we hand-picked engineers who matched AlphaGen’s needs:

  • Strong full-stack and data-oriented backend engineers

  • AI engineers comfortable with evaluation, fine-tuning, and MLOps

  • UI engineers skilled in crisp, analytics-heavy dashboards

We used our specialized assessment funnels—architecture breakdowns, AI problem-solving challenges, and system design interviews—to filter for engineers who could handle real complexity.

03

Pre-Deployment Upskilling

A core differentiator of WhatBytes is that every engineer undergoes custom upskilling based on the client’s product before deployment.

For AlphaGen, this meant:

  • Training the team on LLM orchestration and evaluation techniques

  • Upskilling backend engineers on scalable data pipelines

  • Bringing UI engineers up to speed on visualization libraries & design systems

  • Preparing all team members in collaboration patterns, sprint workflow, and code-quality guidelines

By the time the engineers were deployed, they already aligned with AlphaGen’s stack, standards, and problem patterns—removing the typical three-month “getting familiar” phase most teams struggle with.

04

Assembling a High-Compatibility Team

We purposely selected engineers who complement each other:

  • Seniors capable of guiding architecture

  • Mid-level engineers optimizing velocity

  • Fast-learning juniors who could handle execution with mentorship

This composition ensured both speed and sustainability.

05

Seamless Onboarding & Integration

We used our “48-hour integration sprint” framework:

  • Repository access + environment setup

  • Product walkthrough sessions

  • Codebase orientation

  • First sprint tasks broken down to create early momentum

Engineers were shipping consistent output from week one, not week eight.
