Fractional CTO + Engineering Team as a Service: CTO-level technology system without hiring a full-time team
Build a CTO-level technology system - without hiring a full-time team and overspending your budget.
Rent a Fractional CTO with a ready-made engineering team 3-5 times cheaper than maintaining in-house development.
β‘ What you get right from the start
Fractional CTO (10-20+ years of experience) who will:
- design product architecture
- build engineering processes (CI/CD, DevOps, SRE)
- make key product and technical decisions
- manage the development roadmap
- reduce technical risks and scaling costs
Plus a ready-made team:
- backend / frontend engineers
- DevOps / SRE
- AI / ML engineers (as needed)
- QA automation
- system architect
π§ Why this works better than hiring an in-house CTO
You've probably already encountered this:
-
Hired a CTO - but the product didn't accelerate
-
Have a team - but no architecture
-
Development is ongoing - but the system breaks under load
-
Business is growing - but the backend doesn't scale
The problem is almost always the same: lack of systemic engineering leadership.
𧩠How a Fractional CTO solves the problem
We separate the roles:
Fractional CTO
- strategy and architecture
- technical standards
- system quality control
- product scaling
- audit and refactoring of solutions
Engineering Team
- task implementation
- product backlog support
- stable feature delivery
- test coverage and automation
DevOps / SRE layer
- infrastructure
- Kubernetes / cloud / observability
- stability and fault tolerance
βοΈ What your business gets
- predictable release cycle
- controlled technical debt
- reduction in development costs by 30-60%
- accelerated time-to-market
- architecture ready for scale / AI / high-load
π Real results of our clients
- 2-4x faster releases
- up to 40% reduction in cost of engineering
- transition from chaotic development to system-driven delivery
- launch of new products without increasing the in-house team
π§ We don't build a "team of developers"
We build:
an engineering system that scales your business
π₯ This is for you if:
- you have a SaaS / AI / marketplace / platform product
- you have development, but no architecture
- you've hit a scaling bottleneck
- your CTO is overloaded or absent
- you need to quickly launch an MVP / new module / product
π§ͺ Workflow
1. Audit Phase (1-2 weeks)
- architectural audit
- bottleneck analysis
- team and process assessment
2. System Design (2-4 weeks)
- target architecture
- engineering roadmap
- scaling plan
3. Execution (ongoing)
- team management
- delivery control
- continuous optimization
π° Pricing Model
Fractional CTO (part-time)
- strategic management
- architecture and oversight
Team as a Service
- team tailored to your product
- flexible scaling
Full-stack engineering pod
- CTO + team + DevOps + QA
𧬠Why this isn't outsourcing
This isn't "third-party development".
It's:
- an embedded CTO in your product
- engineering strategy as a service
- a development management system
- responsibility for results, not hours
π§ We're not a contractor
We are your technical execution layer, bridging the gap between:
business idea
and a scalable product
π Ready to test it out?
We start with an architectural product audit and show you:
- where you're losing speed
- where money is being wasted
- why the product isn't scaling
- what needs to change to grow x2-x5
