Hire DevOps Engineers Who Turn Hours-Long Deploys Into One-Click Releases

Your engineering team is building good software — but slow deployments, manual infrastructure provisioning, and fragile release processes are turning that work into a bottleneck. DevOps engineers who know what they’re doing turn that bottleneck into a competitive advantage: deploy pipelines that run in minutes, infrastructure defined as code, and release processes that engineers trust because they’ve been built to be safe.

We match you with senior DevOps Engineers who’ve built CI/CD infrastructure at scale for high-growth SaaS companies, enterprise software organizations, and cloud-native platforms. Engineers who’ve automated infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and Azure, built deployment pipelines that ship dozens of times per day, and created the developer experience that turns “we’re afraid to deploy on Fridays” into “we deploy whenever the code is ready.”

Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based DevOps talent.

What Our DevOps Engineers Build

CI/CD Pipeline Architecture

End-to-end deployment pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and CircleCI — from code merge to production, with automated testing gates, deployment approval workflows, canary releases, and rollback automation. Pipelines that ship code safely at high frequency.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation for cloud infrastructure definition, version control, and automated provisioning. Environments that are reproducible, documented, and drift-free. Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts for containerized workloads.

Kubernetes & Container Orchestration

Kubernetes cluster design, Helm chart development, Kustomize configurations, service mesh implementation (Istio, Linkerd), horizontal pod autoscaling, and the GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux) that make Kubernetes deployments safe and auditable.

Cloud Infrastructure Optimization

AWS, GCP, and Azure architecture for reliability, performance, and cost efficiency. Right-sizing, reserved instance strategies, spot instance utilization, and infrastructure cost reduction without reliability trade-offs.

Observability & Alerting

Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and CloudWatch monitoring stacks — meaningful dashboards, alert fatigue reduction, SLO-based alerting, and the runbooks that help on-call engineers respond to incidents effectively.

DevOps Technology Stack

CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, TeamCity, Buildkite

IaC: Terraform, Pulumi, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Ansible, Packer

Containers: Docker, Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS), Helm, Kustomize, ArgoCD, Flux

Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure — compute, networking, storage, managed services

Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, ELK Stack, CloudWatch

Security: HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, SAST integration, container image scanning

Client Success Story: SaaS Platform — Deployment Frequency from Monthly to Daily

A Series B SaaS company with 40 engineers was releasing monthly — long manual QA cycles, a fragile deployment process that required a dedicated “release engineer,” and a production environment that had drifted far from staging configuration. Our DevOps Engineer spent 12 weeks rebuilding: Terraform for all infrastructure (eliminating configuration drift), a GitHub Actions pipeline with automated integration test gates, separate staging and production environments with configuration parity, and blue-green deployments with automated rollback on health check failure. Monthly releases became daily within 3 months. The last “release engineer” burden was eliminated — any engineer could deploy by merging a PR. DORA metrics moved from Low to Elite performer in 6 months.

Client Success Story: E-Commerce Platform — $200K/Year Infrastructure Cost Reduction

A growing e-commerce company had a cloud bill that doubled every 6 months with revenue growing at 30% — the math was unsustainable. Our DevOps Engineer audited their AWS infrastructure: identified $80K/year in over-provisioned EC2 instances, $60K in egress costs from an unoptimized CDN configuration, $40K in unused EBS volumes and old snapshots, and $20K from running dev environments 24/7. She implemented auto-scaling for application servers (replacing fixed over-provisioned fleets), moved static assets to CloudFront with proper cache headers, and automated dev environment shutdown schedules. Infrastructure cost dropped $200K/year. Application response times improved 23% from the CDN optimization.

Why Companies Choose Our DevOps Engineers

• Full-stack DevOps: They own the complete pipeline — from code merge to production monitoring — not just one part of it
• Developer experience focus: They build DevOps tooling that engineers love to use — fast feedback loops, clear failure messages, and reliable deployments
• Security-integrated: Security scanning, secrets management, and least-privilege IAM are built into pipelines, not bolted on after
• 50% cost savings: Senior DevOps expertise at a fraction of US market rates
• Fast start: Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks

Engagement Models

• Individual DevOps Engineer — One senior DevOps engineer embedded with your team to build and maintain your CI/CD and infrastructure.
• DevOps + SRE Pod — A DevOps engineer handling deployment pipeline and infrastructure provisioning, paired with an SRE managing reliability and incident response.
• Platform Engineering Teams — Multiple DevOps and infrastructure engineers building internal developer platforms for large engineering organizations.
• Contract-to-Hire — Evaluate a DevOps engineer’s infrastructure architecture and automation approach before committing long-term.

How To Vet DevOps Engineers

Our vetting identifies DevOps engineers who automate infrastructure correctly — not just click through cloud consoles.

1. IaC code review — Review Terraform or Pulumi code they’ve written. We evaluate module structure, state management approach, variable parameterization, and whether the code would be maintainable by another engineer.
2. Pipeline design challenge — Given a microservices application with 5 services, design the CI/CD pipeline architecture. What stages? What test gates? How do you handle service dependencies in deployment sequencing?
3. Production incident scenario — A deployment caused a production outage. Walk through the first 30 minutes: what do you do, in what order, and how do you communicate? We assess incident response discipline and rollback decision-making.
4. Cloud architecture discussion — Design a production environment for a SaaS application with high availability, auto-scaling, and a $10K/month infrastructure budget. We evaluate cost-reliability trade-off thinking.

What to Look for When Hiring DevOps Engineers

Strong DevOps engineers automate everything they do more than once — and build for maintainability, not just for today.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

• Their infrastructure is defined in code and version-controlled — they don’t manage cloud resources through consoles
• They’ve implemented DORA metrics and can describe how their work moved those metrics: deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, MTTR
• They build for developer experience: clear error messages, fast feedback loops, and self-service deployment capabilities
• They integrate security into pipelines proactively: secrets scanning, container image scanning, and SAST checks that don’t create developer friction

Red flags to watch for:

• “Infrastructure as code” means they wrote a shell script — no Terraform, Pulumi, or proper IaC tooling
• Measures DevOps success by uptime alone — no deployment frequency, lead time, or change failure rate awareness
• Manual security practices: secrets in environment variables, no rotation, no audit logging
• Has only managed a single cloud environment — no multi-environment (dev/staging/prod) or multi-region experience

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

• “Walk me through the CI/CD pipeline you’re most proud of building. What problem did it solve, and what would you do differently?”
• “How do you handle secrets management across multiple environments and multiple engineering teams? Walk me through your approach.”
• “A Kubernetes pod is crashing in production and the on-call engineer wakes you up at 2am. Walk me through your first 10 minutes.”
