Deploys on demand. On-call that lets you sleep.
Senior platform engineers for CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and observability - so releases stop being events and on-call stops being a tax on your best people.
- Shortlist
- 5 business days
- Team
- 1-3 senior platform engineers
- Contract
- Austria
- Commit
- Trunk-based, reviewed
- Build
- One pipeline, reproducible artefact
- Deploy
- GitOps, rollback expected
- Observe
- SLOs, symptom-based paging
- Learn
- Error budget informs the next commit
Two problems we are called in to fix.
Concrete starting points, each with the team we field, the stack, and what lands in the first 30 days.
Internal platform and golden paths
What you get.
Operational outputs that make releases, incidents, and reliability tradeoffs easier to manage.
Deployment workflow
A clear path from commit to production with approvals, rollback expectations, and ownership.
Observability baseline
Dashboards, alerts, and service health signals mapped to what users actually experience.
Reliability targets
Availability, latency, and incident response expectations agreed with engineering and leadership.
Runbooks and handover
Operational notes, escalation paths, and recovery steps your team can use during incidents.
- Cadence
- Deploys on most weekdays, on demand
- Peak weeks
- Multiple ships per day when needed
- Quiet weeks
- Still green, just less to ship
- Weekends
- No routine deploys by design

Platform
From release pain to reliable operations.
The sequence turns fragile deploys and noisy alerts into a repeatable operating model.
- Phase 01
Assess
Map deploy flow, incident history, and where the error budget actually goes.
Time1-2 weeksDeliverableReliability assessment - Phase 02
Pipeline and IaC
GitOps deploys and infrastructure-as-code, with a safe rollback path.

SLOs and alerting
Define SLOs, wire dashboards, and cut alerts down to symptoms that matter.
TimeOngoingDeliverableSLOs + clean paging - Phase 04
Operate and hand off
Runbooks, on-call rotation, and platform docs. Your team owns it.
