MacroThread — Architecture, DevOps & Security

Senior engineering leadership, without the $250K hire

Fractional architecture, DevOps and security for Seed and Series A startups — for teams with a working product, a growing cloud bill, and enterprise customers starting to ask hard questions.

Ex-Tech Unit

Technion B.Sc.

Production-tested at enterprise scale

Three disciplines, end to end

Designed and implemented alongside your team — not delivered as a slide deck.

Software & cloud architecture

System design on Azure and AWS built for elasticity, with no single point of failure.
Service boundaries, microservice decomposition and event-driven backbones.
Scalability and resilience reviews before the load arrives, not after.

DevOps

Zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
Infrastructure as code, automated staging environments, test gates and rollbacks.
Cloud cost control — removing the waste that quietly burns runway.

Information security

Identity-first security: hardened IAM and Entra ID, least privilege by default.
Network segmentation, secrets management and container scanning.
Readiness for the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 questions enterprise buyers ask.

Start with an audit, continue only if it's worth it

Week 1

Architecture audit

A review of the repository, cloud accounts, pipelines and bottlenecks — ending in a prioritized list of what to fix first. Yours to keep either way.

Weeks 2–4

Implementation

Hands-on execution with your team: infrastructure as code, pipelines, hardening and stabilization.

Ongoing

Fractional retainer

10–15 hours a week of senior oversight: design reviews, incident support and mentoring for your developers.

Post-seed teams, before the infrastructure becomes the problem

You have a working product with real users, and releases now take hours instead of minutes.
Your cloud bill grows faster than your traffic, and nobody owns it.

Enterprise deals stall on security reviews you have no baseline for.
A full-time principal architect is months away and hard to justify at this stage.
