Signature engagement
A senior engineer,
inside your team.
Consultants visit. Auditors judge. We embed — in your standups, your repos, your incident channel — and build the infrastructure and security practice you have been postponing.
Why embedded beats visiting
Context compounds
Week after week the engineer gets faster — they know your systems, your people, and where the bodies are buried. A visitor never gets there.
No handover tax
Recommendations don't get lost between a report and a backlog. The person who finds the problem is the person who fixes it.
Your team levels up
Working alongside a senior engineer transfers more than any workshop. The knowledge stays when we go.
The shape of an engagement
Assess
- — Read the estate: cloud accounts, clusters, pipelines, on-prem
- — Interview the people who carry it on their shoulders today
- — Find what bites first — and what only looks scary
- — Agree the outcomes that matter, written down
Build
- — Work inside your repos, tickets, standups, and on-call reality
- — Ship the machinery: pipelines, clusters, hardening, playbooks
- — Pair with your engineers so knowledge transfers as we go
- — Report progress against the agreed outcomes, not hours burned
Hand over
- — Documentation in your wiki, runbooks in your repos
- — Your team operates everything — we shadow, then step back
- — Optional light-touch support for the genuinely hard questions
- — Success metric: how little you need us afterwards
No fixed term. Some engagements run a few focused weeks; others stay until the practice is self-sustaining — that is your call, reviewed openly as we go.
What lands in your repos
Artifacts, not advice.
Every embedded engagement is scoped around concrete deliverables. A typical security-focused engagement leaves behind:
- ▣ Infrastructure-as-code for everything we touch
- ▣ CI/CD pipelines with security testing built in
- ▣ A vulnerability management process with owners and SLAs
- ▣ Incident response playbooks tested in a tabletop exercise
- ▣ Audit-ready evidence for ISO 27001 / SOC 2 controls
- ▣ Dashboards and alerts your team actually trusts
Terms, plainly
Commitment
Flexible — full-time or fractional, for as long as it helps.
Where
Remote-first from Berlin. On-site when it matters.
Who
One senior engineer. The one you interviewed.
Inside your tools
Your Git, your tickets, your chat. No parallel universe.
Next step
Tell us what you are building.
Thirty minutes, no slide deck, an engineer on the line. We will tell you what we would look at first — whether or not you hire us.
