Hire Remote Infrastructure Engineers

Hire Infrastructure Engineers Who Design Systems Built for Scale

Infrastructure is the foundation every product is built on — and the wrong infrastructure decisions compound over time, becoming the architectural debt that makes scaling painful and expensive. Infrastructure Engineers who make the right decisions early — network topology, cloud architecture, database infrastructure, security posture — save companies millions in re-platforming costs and months of engineering time.

We match you with senior Infrastructure Engineers who’ve designed and operated cloud infrastructure for enterprise SaaS companies, high-growth consumer platforms, and regulated-industry technology organizations. Engineers who understand the full stack — compute, networking, storage, security, and the automation layer that makes infrastructure manageable at scale.

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

What Our Infrastructure Engineers Build

Cloud Architecture Design

Multi-account AWS, GCP, and Azure architectures: VPC design, network topology, transit gateways, peering relationships, and the account structure that gives engineering teams autonomy while maintaining security and cost visibility. Architecture that supports your current scale and doesn’t require a redesign at 10x.

Data Infrastructure & Storage Architecture

Database infrastructure for high-scale workloads: RDS with read replicas and failover, Aurora Global Database, DynamoDB design, Redis cluster configuration, S3 lifecycle policies, and the storage architecture decisions that determine your data costs at scale.

Network & Security Infrastructure

Zero-trust network architecture, VPN and private connectivity (AWS PrivateLink, VPC peering), WAF and DDoS protection, network segmentation for compliance environments (PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP), and the firewall and security group policies that prevent misconfigurations from becoming breaches.

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

RTO and RPO-driven DR architecture: multi-region replication, automated failover, backup and restoration testing, and the DR runbooks that give leadership confidence that data and service recovery objectives will be met when infrastructure failures occur.

Cost Architecture & FinOps

Cloud cost modeling, reserved instance strategy, savings plan optimization, right-sizing analysis, and the tagging and allocation frameworks that give finance and engineering leadership visibility into infrastructure spend by team, environment, and product.

Infrastructure Engineering Stack

Client Success Story: SaaS Company — Infrastructure Redesign Enables Series C Pitch

A Series B SaaS company’s CTO was concerned that their existing AWS infrastructure — built by developers to get to market fast — would become a liability during due diligence for their upcoming Series C. Our Infrastructure Engineer conducted a 6-week audit and redesign: separated production, staging, and development into dedicated AWS accounts with centralized logging and billing, redesigned their VPC topology to eliminate public subnet exposure for application servers, implemented least-privilege IAM policies replacing wildcard permissions, designed RDS Multi-AZ with read replicas for their primary database, and produced architecture documentation meeting enterprise security review standards. Three enterprise prospects who had previously failed security reviews were converted to customers within 90 days of the redesign. The Series C closed with the infrastructure architecture cited as a due diligence strength.

Client Success Story: Consumer Platform — 70% Infrastructure Cost Reduction at 5x Scale

A consumer mobile app scaled from 500K to 2.5M monthly active users over 18 months — and their infrastructure costs scaled faster than their user base. Our Infrastructure Engineer designed a comprehensive optimization: migrated stateless application workloads from fixed EC2 instances to auto-scaling groups with spot instance fleets (70% cost reduction on compute), implemented CloudFront with aggressive caching for their media-heavy API responses (80% reduction in origin traffic), redesigned their DynamoDB table structure to reduce consumed capacity units, and implemented S3 intelligent tiering for media storage. Infrastructure cost dropped 70% despite 5x user growth. Their infrastructure unit economics became a fundraising metric in their next round — proving the platform could scale profitably.

Why Companies Choose Our Infrastructure Engineers

• Platform-level thinking: They design for scale, security, and cost efficiency simultaneously — not just what works today
• Security-by-design: Network segmentation, least-privilege IAM, and encryption at rest and in transit are built into the design, not retrofitted
• Cost architecture: They model infrastructure costs at scale before you’re paying them — reserved instance strategies, spot optimization, and usage-based cost attribution
• 50% cost savings: Senior infrastructure engineering expertise at a fraction of US market rates
• Fast start: Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks

Engagement Models

• Individual Infrastructure Engineer — One senior infrastructure engineer owning cloud architecture design, IaC, and ongoing infrastructure management.
• Infrastructure + DevOps Pod — Infrastructure engineer handling architecture and platform design, paired with a DevOps engineer handling CI/CD and deployment automation.
• Platform Engineering Teams — Multiple infrastructure and DevOps engineers for large engineering organizations requiring a full internal developer platform.
• Infrastructure Audit & Design — A fixed-scope engagement to audit existing infrastructure, identify risks and inefficiencies, and produce an architectural roadmap.

How To Vet Infrastructure Engineers

Our vetting identifies infrastructure engineers who design for scale and security — not just keep the lights on.

1. Architecture design challenge — Given a SaaS product’s scale requirements and compliance context, design the cloud infrastructure architecture. Network topology, account structure, compute strategy, database architecture, and DR design. Evaluated on trade-off reasoning and security posture.
2. Terraform code review — Review IaC they’ve written for a real production environment. We evaluate module structure, state management, variable parameterization, and security configuration.
3. Cost optimization case study — Describe a cloud cost optimization they led. What was the spend, what was the problem, what did they change, and what was the result? We look for systematic approach and measurable outcomes.
4. Security design interview — How do they approach IAM design for a 50-engineer organization? What’s their least-privilege implementation strategy? How do they manage secrets across environments?

What to Look for When Hiring Infrastructure Engineers

Strong infrastructure engineers design systems that are secure, scalable, and cost-efficient — and can explain the trade-offs in each decision.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

• They design with the threat model in mind — they can explain what attack surface their network design eliminates and what it doesn’t
• They use IaC exclusively for production infrastructure — no manual console changes, full version control and drift detection
• They model costs before provisioning — they know the approximate cost of an architecture decision before it’s implemented
• They’ve designed for failure: their architectures survive AZ failures, database failovers, and dependency degradation without manual intervention

Red flags to watch for:

• Infrastructure management means clicking through the AWS console — no IaC, no reproducible environments, no drift detection
• No security architecture depth: “we use security groups and IAM” without discussing network segmentation, least privilege design, or encryption
• No experience with multi-environment architecture — has only managed a single production environment
• Cloud cost awareness limited to “we use reserved instances” — no right-sizing analysis, no spot strategy, no cost attribution model

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

• “Walk me through the AWS account structure and VPC design you’d recommend for a 50-engineer SaaS company processing sensitive customer data. What’s your security posture and why?”
• “Describe an infrastructure cost optimization you designed. What was the problem, what was your approach, and what were the results?”
• “How would you architect a disaster recovery solution for a multi-region SaaS application with an RTO of 15 minutes and an RPO of 1 minute?”
