A small, senior infrastructure team
RTZ Labs helps growing technology companies build, scale, and stabilize their AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure. We’re the engineers you call when your infrastructure starts becoming a problem.
Most growing companies reach a point where infrastructure that once “just worked” starts holding the team back. Incidents increase, Kubernetes gets harder to operate, deployments feel risky, and developers spend their week on infrastructure instead of product. Hiring a full Platform or SRE team is expensive and slow – and often more than the stage of the company can justify.
That’s the gap we fill. We bring senior infrastructure expertise to engineering teams that need it, working as an extension of your organization rather than an outside vendor. Whether that’s a focused reliability project, building out your platform, or ongoing Fractional SRE capacity, the goal is the same: production infrastructure that’s reliable, predictable, and boring.
How we work
Our engineers have operated infrastructure supporting large-scale production environments and billions of requests. That background shapes how we approach reliability, scale, and operational risk. This describes the professional experience of our engineers – not work performed for RTZ Labs clients.
Work delivered by RTZ Labs is described in our case studies – anonymized, with outcomes stated honestly and no invented metrics.
Remote-first, across North America
We work remotely as an extension of your engineering team, primarily with startups and growing software companies across the United States and Canada. Remote infrastructure work is how modern engineering teams operate – and how we do our best work.
