For growing engineering teams

Your team knows how to build product.

We solve what slows them down.

Infrastructure, DevOps, architecture, migrations. The things your team needs but doesn't have bandwidth to tackle. We're engineers who operate 3 of our own platforms in production — we embed with your team to solve specific scaling problems, not to fill seats.

30 minutes. No slide decks. We'll explain exactly how we'd integrate.

What we hear from CTOs every week

"We hired a consultancy and got documentation, not code."

We ship commits. We operate in your repo, your tools, your CI/CD. If there are no pull requests in week one, something is wrong.

"We have 20 devs but zero DevOps capacity."

Our team has migrated WordPress to Kubernetes, run full Cloudflare platform migrations, and maintains multi-tenant infrastructure. DevOps and infra is what we do every day.

"Contractors don't understand the system and take months to be productive."

We navigate complex codebases by trade. Average onboarding to a new codebase: 5 days. We do it constantly across our own platforms.

"We need a senior architect but can't justify a full-time headcount."

That's exactly our model. Senior architecture capacity for the time you need it, without committing to a full-time salary.

"Every time we scale, something breaks."

We've done those migrations on our own systems. From fragile VMs to auto-scaling Kubernetes. We know where it breaks because we've lived it.

"I can't spend 3 months interviewing for an infra role."

Our team is operating right now. No recruiting process, no 90-day probation. Typical engagement starts in 2 weeks.

Senior capacity available now

No recruiting process. No 3-month onboarding. Operating in your stack in 2 weeks.

How we integrate with your team

We don't replace your team. We complement it with technical depth where you need it most.

Diagnostic

Week 1-2
What happens
  • Access to your repo, CI/CD, current infra
  • Architecture and tech debt review
  • Sessions with your team to understand context and priorities
  • Identification of bottlenecks and quick wins
What you get
  • Diagnostic document with prioritized findings
  • Proposed roadmap with per-sprint estimates
  • Decision point: if there's no fit, you keep the analysis at no additional cost

Initial Sprint

Week 3-6
What happens
  • We join your standups, Slack, Jira/Linear
  • PRs in your repo from sprint week 1
  • Bidirectional code reviews
  • Weekly checkpoint with your Tech Lead or CTO
What you get
  • Concrete deliverables: infra deployed, pipelines configured, migrations executed
  • Inline documentation and runbooks
  • Progress metrics visible in your own tooling

Ongoing Execution

Month 2-6
What happens
  • 2-week sprints with defined scope
  • Participation in your team's planning and retros
  • Gradual knowledge transfer to your engineers
  • Flexible scaling: more or fewer hours as needed
What you get
  • Senior technical capacity without permanent headcount commitment
  • Your team learns while we work together
  • Flexibility to adjust scope each month

Handoff

Final 2 weeks
What happens
  • Complete documentation of everything built
  • Structured knowledge transfer sessions
  • Operational runbooks for your team
  • 30 days post-engagement support for questions
What you get
  • Your team is self-sufficient on everything we built
  • Zero dependency on Aztecknology to operate
  • Option for retainer for ad-hoc consulting

Engagement models

Three ways to work together. All include: your repo, your cloud, your IP.

This is our real stack. We use it in production every day across 3 of our own platforms.

Knowledge transfer guarantee

Your biggest risk with an external team is dependency. We eliminate it by design.

Pull requests from week 1

We don't sell PowerPoints. If there's no code in your repo the first week, something is wrong.

Inline documentation, not PDFs

Every piece of infra has runbooks, every architecture decision is documented in ADRs inside your repo.

Bidirectional code reviews

Your team reviews our code. We review yours. That's real transfer, not a document nobody reads.

Structured handoff + 30 days support

Dedicated KT sessions, operational runbooks, and 30 days post-engagement for questions. Your team is left self-sufficient.

Frequently asked questions

We join your tools (GitHub, Slack, Jira/Linear), attend your standups, and operate under your processes. We do bidirectional code reviews and weekly checkpoints with your Tech Lead or CTO. The only difference vs a hire is that we bring specific infra and DevOps expertise from day 1.

We start with a 2-week diagnostic. If there's no fit, we part ways — you keep the analysis. Typical engagements are 3-6 months but there are no mandatory long-term contracts. Monthly renewal.

All code we write is yours. We work in your repository, in your cloud account. No shared IP, no hidden dependencies, no vendor lock-in. If you end the engagement, you keep everything.

Kubernetes, AWS, Cloudflare, Terraform, Go, Node.js, React, Python, Astro, PostgreSQL, Redis. This is not a marketing list — it's our real stack, we use it in production every day across 3 of our own platforms.

Staff aug gives you bodies. We give you engineering judgment. We arrive with experience operating production infrastructure, formed opinions on architecture, and the ability to make technical decisions — not just execute tickets.

Probably yes. We navigate new codebases constantly across our own platforms. If your stack is something we haven't used, we'll tell you honestly during the diagnostic rather than pretend and learn on the go.

Complete documentation, structured handoff with dedicated knowledge transfer sessions, operational runbooks, and 30 days of availability for questions. The goal is for your team to be self-sufficient on everything we built. Option for retainer for ad-hoc consulting if needed.

Your team doesn't need more people. It needs the right people.

30 minutes with our engineering team. No sales pitch, no pressure. If there's technical fit, we propose a concrete scope the same week.
