DevOps, CI/CD & cloud.
DevOps engineers who own the path from code to production — pipelines, cloud infrastructure, deployment reliability, and infrastructure optimization. Cloud work sits inside this practice; there's no separate handoff.
One practice, code to production
We place engineers who own the whole path from a merged pull request to a healthy production. That includes pipelines, cloud infrastructure, deployment, and infrastructure optimization. What used to be a separate cloud development track sits inside this practice — designing the infrastructure and running it well are the same job.
The scope of the role
CI/CD pipelines
Build, test, and deployment pipelines that run on every pull request and stay fast enough that engineers actually trust them.
Cloud infrastructure
Designing and operating the infrastructure the product runs on — AWS, GCP, or Azure — with infrastructure-as-code as the default.
Infrastructure optimization
Cost, latency, and reliability tuning against the real workload, not a whiteboard architecture.
Observability & on-call
Metrics, logs, and alerting wired in so problems show up on a graph before they show up as a support ticket.
Clouds and tooling
AWS, GCP, Azure
We match the engineer's depth to the cloud you already run on. No push to switch platforms.
Kubernetes
When the workload calls for it. We also happily place engineers on managed services when Kubernetes would be overkill.
Infrastructure as code
Terraform and its neighbours. Infrastructure that lives in a repository, reviewed like the rest of the codebase.
CI platforms
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and Jenkins — whichever your team already runs. We don't force a platform switch.
Ten days from brief to embedded
Same process as the rest of our engagements — a 30-minute brief, a shortlist within days, your interview process, and the engineer live in your standups by day 10. See our full staff augmentation process →
Common questions
What does 'DevOps engineer' mean in practice for you?
Someone who owns the path from code to production: pipelines, infrastructure, deployment, and reliability. Not a ticket-taking sysadmin — an engineer who codifies infrastructure and sits inside the product team.
Which clouds do you cover?
AWS, GCP, and Azure. We match the engineer's depth to the cloud you already run on rather than pushing a platform switch you didn't ask for.
Do you handle cloud development as well as DevOps?
Yes. What used to be a separate 'cloud development' service now lives inside DevOps — designing and building the cloud infrastructure the product runs on is the same skill set as running it well.
Can your engineers work with Kubernetes?
Yes, when Kubernetes is the right fit. We also happily place engineers on simpler platforms (managed services, ECS, App Engine) when the product doesn't need the complexity Kubernetes brings.
How does DevOps embed in an existing team?
Same way as the rest of our placements — inside your Slack, your GitHub, and your reporting line. DevOps engineers usually pair closely with your backend leads and on-call rotations.
How fast can a DevOps engineer start?
Same 10-day timeline as the rest of our engagements: brief, shortlist, your interviews, embedded by day 10.
Cloud Infrastructure Platform
A cloud infrastructure platform where our DevOps engineers own pipelines, deployment reliability, and cost optimization alongside the product team. Infrastructure as code, observability, and on-call built in from the start rather than after the first outage.
