Plug us in where you need leverage.

Whether you want a fully managed squad, embedded specialists, or targeted guidance, we adapt to your pace, tooling, and roadmap.

Auto

Dedicated Platform Squad

We own a DevOps workstream end-to-end—roadmap, automation, security, and steady-state operations—with clear SLAs and reporting.

  • • Full accountability
  • • Runbooks & metrics
  • • Ideal for zero-to-one
Pair

Co-managed Pods

ZAE engineers embed with your team to co-build migrations, pipelines, or observability upgrades while transferring patterns and tooling.

  • • Shared backlog
  • • Knowledge transfer
  • • Scale bandwidth up/down
Guide

Advisory & Enablement

Targeted sprints for architecture reviews, cost/performance audits, incident coaching, or automation spikes—proof before you scale.

  • • Workshops & audits
  • • Actionable playbooks
  • • Follow-on support optional

What collaboration looks like

Paired engineering sessions, whiteboard jams, and async clarity.

We blend synchronous workshops with async updates—so your team sees progress whether we’re onsite or remote. Expect shared Miro boards, screen-share debugging, and living docs (Notion/Confluence) that capture every decision.

  • • Dedicated Slack/Teams channels with daily summaries.
  • • Recorded demos for stakeholders who can’t join live.
  • • Paired build sessions to transfer know-how as we go.

How Engagements Work

  1. 1) Discovery

    Scope, constraints, and success metrics; align on outcomes and risks.

  2. 2) Design

    Target architecture, phased plan, and quick wins that show value early.

  3. 3) Build

    IaC, pipelines, security baselines, tests, and clear documentation.

  4. 4) Operate

    Observability, runbooks, training, and a clean hand-off—or we manage it.
