Lighthouse growth sp. z o.o.

Lighthouse Growth is a Poland-based product development agency with an in-house engineering team and connections across the Polish tech industry. The company positions itself between staff augmentation and full product development, offering both services depending on client needs. Poland hosts major R&D operations for Intel, Box, Microsoft, Google, and NVIDIA, which the company leverages to source and deploy talent.

The agency works with clients across streaming, e-commerce, logistics, and enterprise software. Recent projects include React and JavaScript work for a Swedish streaming platform, a SAP Commerce implementation for a Nordic telecom company, and Java-based payment gateway migrations for a UK legal association. They've also handled backend rewrites using microservices architecture for an event management SaaS platform and refactored order management systems for a Swiss logistics company.

Services and capabilities

Lighthouse Growth offers two primary engagement models. Product development involves building features or entire systems from scratch, including architecture design and ongoing delivery. Staff augmentation lets clients extend their core teams with Polish-based engineers on a flexible basis. The company also manages permanent recruitment with a three-month guarantee on hires.

On the technical side, the team works across modern web stacks. Frontend work uses React, Angular, TypeScript, and JavaScript. Backend spans Java, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Hibernate. They integrate with enterprise platforms like SAP Commerce and SAP CRM. Infrastructure runs on Docker, AWS, and PostgreSQL. For video platforms, they've delivered work on Roku and iOS. The company describes itself as working in agile methodology using Git for version control and Jenkins for CI/CD.

Notable work

For a Swedish streaming platform that serves major broadcasters including Deutsche Telekom, NBC Universal, ITV, Globo, and Hallmark, Lighthouse led front-end architecture development in React and JavaScript, covering Roku and iOS testing across multiple devices. They drove the user experience development of the platform's core product.

A Nordic telecom provider hired Lighthouse to build an e-commerce solution on SAP Commerce, integrated with SAP CRM and ERP. The team split into frontend (React, JavaScript, CSS) and backend (Java, Spring, SAP Commerce) sub-teams working in parallel on features, APIs, and integrations. Lighthouse characterized this as leading the client's digital transformation and contributing to system sustainability.

For a UK-based legal professional association with over 100,000 members, Lighthouse replaced an unstable payment gateway. The team migrated from Optile to Adyen, implementing the new provider and providing transition support. A European event management SaaS platform with complex microservices architecture hired Lighthouse to rewrite legacy code using Java 17, Angular 13, TypeScript, Hibernate, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Docker, and AWS. A Swiss logistics company brought them in to develop and refactor an order management system serving multiple countries, combining legacy code review with new feature delivery in Java, Spring, PostgreSQL, and Angular.

How they work

Lighthouse engages clients through fixed-scope product development or dedicated staff augmentation. For permanent hiring, they offer a three-month guarantee on candidates. The company operates out of Poland, where they access a large pool of engineers. They work in agile teams and communicate directly with clients during delivery. Specific pricing is not published on their site; rates depend on engagement type and team composition.
