Senior DevOps / SRE engineering for production systems.
Senior DevOps and SRE — IaC, Kubernetes, observability, incident management, FinOps, and the operational discipline that defends an SLO instead of just tracking it.

- Outcome-led, not hourly
Why senior, not contractor
DevOps / SRE in production is a different problem than DevOps / SRE on a laptop.
DevOps is too often a label for clicked-together CI pipelines and a Datadog dashboard nobody owns. Prosigns ships DevOps as production engineering: infrastructure as code with proper module boundaries, Kubernetes that the team can operate without a vendor support contract, observability that answers the on-call's actual questions, and FinOps that trims 30-40% of cloud spend in the first quarter.

Outcome-led SOW
Where DevOps / SRE ships
6 sub-areas, grounded in shipped engagements.
Specific applications of DevOps / SRE we’ve built and operate. Every example below maps to a real engagement, not a bullet on a stack-card.
01 02 Kubernetes + service mesh
EKS / AKS / GKE, custom operators, Istio / Linkerd where appropriate, ArgoCD / Flux for GitOps deploys.
03 Observability that on-call uses
OpenTelemetry, Datadog / Honeycomb / Grafana Stack. SLO-driven dashboards, error budgets, runbook-linked alerts.
04 Incident management + on-call
PagerDuty / Opsgenie / Incident.io, blameless postmortems, error-budget policy, runbook discipline, on-call rotation design.
05 CI/CD pipelines
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Buildkite. Reusable workflows, secret hygiene, cache discipline, deploy gates.
06 FinOps + cost optimization
Right-sizing, savings plans, spot / preemptible workloads, autoscaling tuning. Typically 30-40% cloud-cost reduction in Q1.
Stack depth
The DevOps / SRE ecosystem, owned.
Frameworks, libraries, and runtime tools the bench has shipped in production. Not a CV-skim — a working depth.

Engagement models
Three ways to engage DevOps / SRE engineers.
We don’t bill hourly contractors. Engagements run against outcomes — choose the shape that matches the work.
See engagement models- 01
Fixed-scope
Defined deliverable, fixed price
When the deliverable is clear and the scope is bounded — an MVP, a migration, a discrete platform build. Senior engineering against a written outcome, not against a body count.
- 02
Embedded squad
Senior product team, ongoing
When the work is product-shaped and the cadence is continuous. A senior pod (engineering + design + PM as needed) embedded into your team, with the practice lead co-piloting from HELM.
- 03
Managed services
Steady-state operations
When the system is running and needs ongoing engineering ownership — operations, SLO defense, release management, security and compliance evidence. Monthly retainer against a published SLA.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask.
Everything below also appears in the proposal and the SOW — no surprises after signing.
Should we run Kubernetes or skip it?
Skip it for small workloads where ECS / Cloud Run / App Service / Container Apps will do. Run it when you need cluster-level multi-tenancy, custom controllers, or operating sophistication that hosted services can't deliver. We'll tell you which fits — Kubernetes is a real operating tax and we don't recommend it casually.
Datadog, Honeycomb, or self-hosted Grafana stack?
Datadog for steady-state operations where the cost is acceptable. Honeycomb for high-cardinality observability and engineering teams that already think in events / traces. Self-hosted Grafana Stack (LGTM) when cost-at-scale or data-residency demand it. All three are in our portfolio.
Is this staff-aug, or is it engineering-led delivery?
Engineering-led delivery. We don't bill hourly contractors against your JIRA board. Every engagement runs against a defined outcome with a senior engineer accountable from kickoff to operating cutover. If you genuinely need staff-aug — discrete bodies, your management, hourly rates — we'll be honest and route you to a partner that fits.
What seniority floor are we talking about?
G6 minimum (six-plus years in their craft) on every billable hour. Department leads are G9 or G10. We don't flex juniors onto the bench mid-sprint, we don't subcontract to delivery centers, and we don't dilute senior rates with mixed staffing. The bench in the proposal is the bench in production.
How does pricing work?
Three engagement models published at /engagement-models/. Fixed-scope for defined deliverables, embedded squads for ongoing product work, managed services for steady-state operations. Rates depend on seniority, engagement length, and region. Discovery + scoping conversation is free; SOWs are written against deliverables, not bodies.
Where are your engineers based?
Senior-only across Dallas, Doha, Lahore, and Islamabad. We staff against the engagement's needs (timezone, language, regulatory frame), not against arbitrary regional preferences. Most engagements run with a US/EU-aligned core and a follow-the-sun extended bench when the workload warrants it.
Will the engineers I see in the proposal be the engineers shipping the work?
Yes. We name the engineers in the SOW, attach their profiles, and they're on the kickoff. We don't bait-and-switch with senior reviewers and junior execution. If a named engineer needs to roll off the engagement (rare), we surface a replacement from the same seniority tier with explicit handoff.
