Engagement models

Same senior engineers. Three ways to put them to work.

Build it as a scoped project, hand us the running of it, or embed our people in your teams. Most clients move between these over time — an assessment becomes a build, a build becomes managed operations. You are never locked into one shape.

01

Consulting & Delivery

Scoped foundation builds and transformation projects, delivered by senior engineers with a clear outcome and end date.

Best for: a foundation to build

  • Fixed-scope architecture & build
  • Everything delivered as code
  • Reference workload & runbooks
  • Knowledge transfer to your team
02

Managed Services

We operate what we build — or what you already run: platform operations, SRE, cost optimisation, and 24/7 options under clear SLAs.

Best for: keeping it healthy

  • Platform operations & SRE
  • Cost optimisation & FinOps
  • Clear SLAs, 24/7 options
  • Access reviews & patching
03

Staff Augmentation

Senior cloud, data, and AI engineers embedded in your teams — on your tools, your cadence, and your board.

Best for: scaling a squad

  • Senior-only engineers
  • Embedded in your workflow
  • Ramp in days, not months
  • Patterns transferred as they ship
Fractional Platform Leadership

Senior direction, without a full-time hire.

Part-time Head of Platform or CTO advisory for organisations that need someone who has built this before — to set the architecture, hire the right people, and keep the roadmap honest — before committing to a permanent leadership seat.
