You know what’s underrated?
A boring, reliable tech stack that your team already knows.
No exotic tools. No vendor lock-in. No 47 integrations that break when one startup gets acquihired.
Just three things that work: GitHub, AWS, Google Workspace.
Here’s why this setup keeps showing up at the best early-stage companies we work with.
GitHub: Where your team actually ships
GitHub isn’t just version control. It’s where modern teams collaborate, review, and deploy—regardless of time zone.
Clean PRs. Built-in CI/CD. Issue tracking. Plays nice with everything else.
Zero infrastructure to manage. Zero learning curve for devs. Zero friction.
When we place engineers through Teros, they’re already fluent in GitHub workflows. No ramp time. No “we do things differently here.” They just start shipping.
AWS: Scale without the commitment
AWS lets you build lean and scale when you need to.
Lambda for serverless. ECS for containers. Whatever architecture makes sense for your stage.
You’re not locked into some huge infra commitment. You pay for what you use. You evolve as your product matures.
The engineers we work with have real AWS experience—not just certifications. They’ve launched products, maintained services, and kept burn rates sane.
That’s the difference between someone who’s read the docs and someone who’s actually built on it.
Google Workspace: The silent MVP
Nobody pitches Google Workspace in their deck.
But for remote and hybrid teams? It’s your operating system.
Docs for specs. Sheets for metrics. Meet for standups. Calendar for coordination. Drive for everything.
Zero learning curve. Works on every device. Perfect for async teams.
Every engineer we place is ready to collaborate in Workspace from day one. They’re not asking “where’s the doc?” or “which Slack channel?” They just get to work.
Why this combo works:
Lightweight. Powerful. Familiar.
You don’t need an expensive SaaS stack. You don’t need heavyweight infrastructure. You need tools that scale with you, that your team already knows, and that don’t require a full DevOps team to manage.
That’s the sweet spot: GitHub + AWS + Google Workspace.
At Teros, we place engineers who thrive in this exact setup. Pre-vetted, ready to ship, fluent in the tools your team already uses.
No weird onboarding. No tool training. Just engineers who plug in and deliver.
Bottom line:
Your stack should evolve with your product, not slow it down.
Startups that scale right keep their tools light, hire people who thrive in fast environments, and build systems that grow with them.
That’s what we help with.
