How to hire RKSSH LLP
Three engagement types. Fixed scope. No retainers you cannot cancel. Here is exactly what we offer and how to get started.
Pipeline Audit
1 weekA structured review of your CI/CD pipeline, deployment process, and infrastructure. You get a written report with findings, severity ratings, and what to fix first.
- Full review of your pipeline end-to-end
- Kubernetes resource and config audit (if applicable)
- Cloud cost and security review
- Written report with severity ratings
- 30-minute walkthrough call
Note: If you want us to fix things, not just find them — start with the buildout.
DevOps Buildout
2–6 weeksWe design and build your CI/CD pipeline, Kubernetes setup, or infrastructure from scratch — or rebuild what is broken. Fixed scope, fixed price.
- Scoped based on audit findings or your brief
- All code written in your repository, reviewed by you
- Runbook and documentation as we go
- Monitoring and alerting configured
- Handoff call and 30-day async support
Note: Not suitable if you need ongoing management after the build.
Managed DevOps Retainer
Month-to-monthWe own your DevOps function. Monitoring, incident response, pipeline maintenance, Kubernetes upgrades, cost reviews, and a Slack channel for your team.
- Daily monitoring and incident response
- Weekly async updates every Friday
- Monthly cloud cost review
- Pipeline and Kubernetes maintenance
- Slack access for your engineering team
How it works
30 minutes. We review your setup and tell you what we see. No pitch, no commitment. This is also where we figure out if we are the right fit for each other.
If there is a clear engagement, we write a proposal — scope, deliverables, timeline, and fixed price. No ambiguity about what is included.
Standard service agreement. We use Docusign. Once signed, we send the onboarding questionnaire and request access.
Full access audit, kick-off call, and first sprint planning. See the onboarding page for the exact week-by-week breakdown.
Good fit
- Funded startup (Seed through Series C)
- 3–50 engineers on the team
- Running on AWS, GCP, or Azure
- No dedicated DevOps engineer or the one you have is overwhelmed
- Deployments are a known problem — slow, manual, or unreliable
Not a good fit
- You need someone who will work exclusively on your project 8 hours a day
- Your stack is entirely on-premise — we work in the cloud
- You need a junior resource to execute detailed specs — we are senior and autonomous
- Your primary need is frontend, backend, or product work
Start with the free audit
Every engagement starts there. 30 minutes, no pitch, written findings within 24 hours. It tells us both whether there is a project worth doing.
