A dedicated SRE joins your team to transform reliability practices from the inside—building capability that lasts after they leave.
When a team is stuck in reactive "ops mode"—drowning in tickets, fighting fires, unable to make progress on projects—adding more people to process tickets doesn't solve the problem. It just processes tickets faster.
An embedded SRE takes a different approach: instead of doing the work for you, they work alongside your team to transform how you work. They identify the systemic issues causing operational overload and help your team fix them.
The goal isn't to create dependency on external help. It's to build your team's capability to self-regulate and maintain healthy practices long after the engagement ends.
A proven approach to transforming team practices from the inside.
The embedded SRE observes your team's operations to understand stress sources, not just symptoms. They identify:

The embedded SRE helps your team build lasting capability:
Service Level Objectives are the single most important tool for sustainable operations. They provide:
When everything is "critical," nothing is. SLOs tell you what actually matters to users and when to act.
A mathematical framework for balancing reliability investments against feature velocity. No more religious debates.
Burn rate alerts warn you before you breach SLOs, giving you time to act proactively instead of reactively.
A shared definition of "good enough" that product, engineering, and operations can all agree on.
Concrete outcomes from an embedded SRE engagement.
Defined SLIs, SLOs, and error budget policies for your critical services, with dashboards and burn rate alerting.
A blameless postmortem culture with templates, facilitation skills, and action item tracking.
Operational knowledge captured in runbooks, reducing dependency on tribal knowledge.
Identified and prioritized automation opportunities with implementation roadmap.
Sustainable on-call practices with clear escalation paths and reduced alert fatigue.
Skills and judgment to maintain healthy practices independently after the engagement.
Intelligent tools that accelerate your team's reliability transformation.
ML-powered analysis of tickets, runbooks, and operational patterns to automatically identify and quantify toil for prioritization.
AI-driven SLI/SLO suggestions based on your traffic patterns, error rates, and business requirements.
NLP analysis of incident reports to identify recurring themes, common root causes, and action item patterns across your organization.
Predictive insights into on-call burden, alert fatigue patterns, and escalation efficiency to improve rotation health.
AI-assisted documentation that extracts tribal knowledge from Slack threads, incident responses, and team conversations.
Track reliability culture adoption with metrics on postmortem quality, SLO adherence, and operational load trends.
Flexible models based on your team's needs and timeline.
A focused evaluation of your team's reliability practices and operational health.
