Senior technical judgment when you need it, without a full-time hire. We provide fractional technical leadership: the standards, architecture decisions, and engineering discipline that keep a growing firm on solid ground.
At a certain point, the decisions get bigger than the team's experience: architecture choices, security posture, hiring, vendor calls. A wrong turn taken without senior judgment is expensive to unwind. But a full-time senior technical hire is a commitment many firms aren't ready to make.
We provide fractional technical leadership: senior judgment when you need it, without a full-time hire. That means the standards, architecture decisions, and engineering discipline that keep a growing firm on solid ground.
Senior input on the technical decisions that are hard to reverse, so the big calls are made with experience behind them.
The standards, review discipline, and practices that keep a growing team's output reliable and maintainable.
Help defining roles, evaluating talent, and building a bench, so you hire the right engineers for where you're headed.
Fractional access to senior, cleared technical leadership. There when the decision is big, not a full-time line item.
How a typical engagement runs
We map the current architecture, team structure, and the decisions on the table to understand where senior judgment is most needed.
We establish engineering standards, review discipline, and architecture decision records so the team's work is consistent and defensible.
We engage on the architecture, hiring, and vendor calls that are hard to reverse, bringing senior experience to the moments that matter.
We document decisions, build an internal technical roadmap, and step back on a cadence that fits your needs as the team grows into it.
A consistent operating model on every engagement: scoped to outcomes, built with dated evidence and named owners, and handed off as something you can run.
We start with the real situation: your goals, constraints, and what's actually in place. We scope the engagement to outcomes, not hours.
We do the work: build the system, run the process, produce the artifacts. Dated evidence and named owners at every step.
We operate what we build and measure it against the outcome you hired us for. Progress reported in evidence, not adjectives.
We leave you with a motion you can run: documentation, cadence, and clarity, so the results hold after the engagement ends.
Fractional leadership ties the technical pillar together. It connects to Cloud Technical Operations, Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure, and Partner Competency & Certification.
It covers the decisions and standards that a full-time senior technical leader would own: architecture direction, security posture, engineering team guidance, vendor and platform decisions, and the technical credibility your firm presents to customers and partners. You access that judgment on an engagement basis rather than a full-time salary commitment.
When the decisions are getting bigger than the team's experience but the firm is not yet at the size where a full-time senior technical hire makes financial sense. That inflection point is common in growth-stage firms between ten and fifty employees. The fractional model buys time and quality without the full-time overhead.
We define the scope of decisions and oversight covered, establish a regular touchpoint cadence with your leadership and engineering team, and are available for urgent decisions that come up between cycles. The engagement runs at $250 per hour with no retainer, scoped to the hours your situation actually requires.
Yes. Brittany Robinson's background spans cloud architecture and cybersecurity, including hands-on cleared defense work. For firms that need both domains covered simultaneously, that is a practical advantage over bringing in separate fractional leaders for each.
It can include technical hiring guidance: defining the roles, assessing candidates from a technical standpoint, and setting the standards the team is hired against. Day-to-day people management is outside the fractional scope unless that is specifically what the engagement calls for. We scope the right level of involvement on the discovery call.
