Series A SaaS — DevOps embed
Fractional infrastructure lead during a six-month scale-up. Hardened CI/CD, set up observability and on-call, and migrated a legacy deployment pipeline to Terraform-driven infrastructure.
Helping startups build and maintain high-quality software.
Fractional infrastructure engineering, technical leadership, and code audits — without the up-front cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Bring senior engineering judgment to whatever stage your team is at.
Independent. Senior. Calibrated to your stage.
What we do
Senior engineering, sized to your stage.
Ten ways to put experienced engineering judgment behind whatever you're building right now — pick the one that fits.
Fractional Infrastructure Engineering

AI Product Integrations & Operationalization
Integrate cutting-edge generative AI functionality into your existing applications without sacrificing your existing product roadmap.
How we work
Engineering judgment, not a template.
Every engagement is shaped to the problem in front of us. The shape below is what most of them look like.
- Step 1
Diagnose
We start with a focused conversation about where you are, what's hurting, and what 'good' looks like for your team. No templated discovery, no fishing for billable hours.
- Step 2
Scope
We propose a clear engagement — fractional, project-based, or short-burst — with the deliverables, timeline, and decision points written down before anyone signs.
- Step 3
Build / Fix
We embed with your team or operate independently, depending on what the problem needs. Senior engineers, calibrated to your codebase, with bias toward shipping.
- Step 4
Hand off
Every engagement ends with documentation and knowledge transfer your team actually uses. We're successful when you don't need us in the room anymore.
Capabilities
The toolkit we bring to every engagement.
Backend services
Go, ConnectRPC, gRPC, REST. Production-grade APIs that age well.
Cloud infrastructure
AWS, GCP, and Cloudflare. IaC with Terraform, deployed by hand or by pipeline.
Data systems
Postgres, Temporal, event-driven workloads. Schemas that survive contact with users.
DevOps & SRE
CI/CD, observability, on-call hygiene. Less heroics, more boring reliability.
Generative AI
LLM integrations, agent tooling, evaluations. Useful AI features, not demos.
Security & audits
Code review, threat modeling, third-party due diligence for your investments.
Engagements
What working with us looks like.
We're a small studio and most of our work is under NDA. Here are representative engagement shapes — replace with named case studies once clients are ready to be referenced publicly.
Vibe-code productionization
Turned a working AI-assisted prototype into a deployable, testable, and observable application. Documentation handed off so the founding team could ship features without us in the room.
Investor-driven code & systems audit
Independent technical due-diligence for an institutional investor. Delivered a written report covering code quality, infrastructure posture, security exposure, and team operating maturity.
