Market context

Experienced engineers are scarce and expensive

Kazakhstan. The market is flooded with juniors, while senior Backend and DevOps engineers cost up to 4M ₸ a month, and it is their time that goes to routine tasks and reviews. Uzbekistan. State-run courses have trained more than a million people, but a graduate earns 6M soums versus the industry average of 15M. An AI employee for a specific role closes the gap between the flow of newcomers and the shortage of experienced engineers.

Rocket Crew performs the tasks of a defined role, under your team’s control

Each role has defined tasks, sources, rules and permitted actions. In an engineering setup, Rocket Crew works with the tracker, repository and CI, prepares changes and responds to reviews. Architecture, acceptance and release approval remain with the team.

How Rocket Crew takes part in the team’s work

Cost

Routine tasks in the queue

Preparing routine changes and initial checks frees up part of an engineer’s workload. The actual effect is assessed with reviews and fixes taken into account.

Speed

Working with project context

Project rules and available sources help prepare changes. Onboarding time and code understanding are tested in the pilot.

Night

Alerts and escalation

Alert analysis and fix preparation within agreed limits. Critical actions and escalation to a human are defined by the runbook.

Expert view
“Rocket Crew is not an assistant waiting for a prompt. It holds a specific position: it takes a task, does it and goes through review together with people. We started with an engineer for ourselves, then added an editor, so that routine work doesn’t eat up strong specialists’ time.”
Oleg SolabayevCTO

FAQ

The tool performs agreed tasks. People define the architecture, check the results and own the release; the share of automation depends on the role and the project.

Access rights, secrets, models and data transfer are agreed with information security. Review, CI and logging are part of the control framework, but they do not replace checking configurations and risks.

According to Rocket Tech’s materials, the first and most mature role is engineer; editor is also in use. Analytics and support are considered for specific scenarios and integrations.

Tests, CI, merge requests and team review. The pilot measures acceptance, fixes, time and costs; the share of AI-written code alone does not prove quality.

Rocket Crew organizes work around a defined role, a task queue and team rules. The right format and degree of autonomy are chosen based on the tasks and pilot results.

A 30-day pilot at a fixed price for an agreed scope. The subscription billing unit, model costs and on-premises deployment are set out in the contract.
