Technical Operations Engine
High-Precision Executive Technical Support for Fractional CTOs & Tech Advisors
From drafting Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to identifying cloud FinOps waste, tracking sprint velocity metrics, and collating SOC 2 / ISO 27001 technical evidence.
Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) & C4 Model Diagramming
Transcribing client whiteboard sessions and technical architectural briefs into standardized Architecture Decision Records (ADR MADR templates) in Notion, Confluence, or GitHub.

- ✓ Open-source license risk summaries (GPL, MIT, Apache) and critical dependency audits
Security, SOC 2 / ISO 27001 Evidence & Vulnerability Tracking
Managing evidence collection in automated compliance platforms like Drata, Vanta, and Sprinto. Verifying developer laptop MDM encryption, tracking branch protection rules in GitHub, logging Dependabot/Snyk critical CVE patches, and collating annual penetration testing remediation proofs for auditor review.
- ✓ Pre-audit technical compliance checklists continuously updated inside Drata/Vanta
- ✓ Snyk and SonarQube static analysis vulnerability tracking and SLA resolution logs
Technical Hiring Intake, Code Challenges & Tooling Procurement
Assisting the vCTO with engineering team scaling. Coordinating automated coding tests in HackerRank or CodeSignal, formatting standardized technical rubrics, scheduling senior developer panel interviews in Ashby/Greenhouse, and benchmarking third-party developer tool subscriptions (Datadog, GitHub Enterprise, Sentry).
- ✓ Automated candidate coding assessment pipelines and candidate score summaries
- ✓ Side-by-side SaaS developer tooling pricing matrices and contract renewal calendars

"As a Fractional CTO serving 5 venture-backed SaaS startups, I was sinking 15 hours a week into AWS Cost Explorer analyses and documenting ADRs. My SageDoer VA converts my architecture sketches into pristine Mermaid.js diagrams and catches untagged cloud spend. Invaluable leverage."
Arnav Kapoor
Principal Fractional CTO, ScaleArchitects
"Preparing for a client's Series B technical due diligence used to consume my entire calendar. Our SageDoer VA pulled open-source license audits from Snyk, organized the GitHub repository health sheets, and formatted our entire tech stack data room in Notion. The lead investor praised our organization."
Marcus Vance
Interim CTO & Advisor, Vance Tech Ventures
"Keeping Linear sprint cycles clean across three engineering client squads was chaotic. My VA pulls cycle times, flags review bottlenecks, and pre-screens candidate coding tests in HackerRank before I conduct technical interviews. Having a dedicated project manager handle oversight is a dream."
Elena Washington
Founder & vCTO, Lighthouse Engineering Advisors
"My hourly advisory rate is $350/hour. Spending that time gathering screenshot evidence for SOC 2 audits in Drata or auditing Datadog host licenses was insane. SageDoer gave me a razor-sharp technical VA at $6/hour on Full-Time. The ROI is astronomical."

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Fractional CTOs, startup tech advisors, and interim engineering leaders need to know about partnering with SageDoer.
Our technical virtual assistants are experienced across agile management tools (Linear, Jira, GitHub Projects), cloud cost analyzers (AWS Cost Explorer, GCP Cloud Billing, Kubecost), code repository and vulnerability engines (GitHub, GitLab, Snyk, SonarQube), compliance portals (Drata, Vanta, Sprinto), technical documentation hubs (Notion, Confluence, Mermaid.js, Lucidchart), and engineering hiring suites (HackerRank, CodeSignal, Ashby).
Your assistant performs routine monthly cloud inventory sweeps: pulling cost reports by service and tag in AWS/GCP, identifying orphaned disk volumes (unattached EBS), unassociated Elastic IPs, idle non-production staging databases running over weekends, and outdated compute generation instances. They compile these findings into clean executive summary sheets ready for your architectural review and client presentation.
Yes. You record a voice brief or quick Loom video outlining your architectural rationale (e.g., migrating from monolithic PostgreSQL to DynamoDB or adopting EventBridge). Your VA drafts the structured ADR using standard MADR or Michael Nygard templates (Context, Decision, Consequences), formats Mermaid.js code blocks, and creates high-res C4 component diagrams in Lucidchart.
IP security is strictly enforced. Assistants operate via enterprise password managers (1Password, Bitwarden) with mandatory hardware-enforced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). They access repositories and cloud consoles exclusively using Least-Privilege Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) with read-only/auditing permissions where applicable. Comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are signed prior to commencing any work.
Your Dedicated Project Manager is your single operational point of contact. They review technical task deliverables before they reach you, track daily sprint progress, verify accurate time logs, and handle priority adjustments across multiple client accounts. If your primary assistant requires leave, the PM arranges seamless internal handover coverage so your advisory practice never stalls.
None whatsoever. We maintain 100% transparent pricing: you pay strictly for the hours logged by your dedicated technical VA ($6/hr on Full-Time or $7/hr on Part-Time). Management oversight, QA checks, time tracking tools, and Dedicated Project Manager supervision are completely free of charge.
