Oncall for small engineering teams is not easy. With less than 6 people on a rotation, I think one just has to accept some lower guaranteed uptime, by having hours when there is no oncall coverage, at the time when the system sees the least customer usage.

To make oncall scheduling work better for everybody, once you have at least 4 oncall engineers for a rotation, check out https://oncallscheduler.com. it doesn't solve Oncall compensation, but it makes planning for vacations, fairness about who works Oncall on holidays, and such, work well.
