Hire DevOps engineers.
DevOps and cloud engineers who make shipping boring: pipelines that pass, infrastructure written as code, alerts that mean something and a cloud bill that stops growing on its own. From $2,800 a month, on public rates.
What it costs
Monthly price per full-time engineer, about 160 hours. No recruiting fee, and the first 2 weeks are free if it isn't working.
Mid, 3 to 5 yrs$2,800a month, about $18/hr
Senior, 5 to 8 yrs$3,800a month, about $24/hr
Lead, 8+ yrs$4,800a month, about $30/hr
What they build
Right when releases are slow or scary, nobody owns the infrastructure, or the cloud bill keeps surprising you.
01
CI/CD pipelines
GitHub Actions or GitLab CI with tests, previews and one-click releases and rollbacks.
02
Infrastructure as code
AWS set up with Terraform or CDK, so environments are reproducible and reviewed like code.
03
Containers
Docker, ECS or Kubernetes, sized for your traffic rather than for a conference talk.
04
Cost and reliability
Monitoring, logging, backups and a cloud bill reviewed line by line.
What we vet for
A senior engineer, not a recruiter, runs every stage: a communication screen, a practical task in your stack, a technical interview and references. You see the scorecard and interview the shortlist.
- AWS: networking, IAM, ECS or EKS, RDS, S3
- Terraform or AWS CDK
- GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Docker and Kubernetes
- Monitoring with CloudWatch, Grafana or Datadog
- Security basics: least privilege, secrets, patching

Questions
Straight answers on time, money, people and IP.
Do we need a full-time DevOps engineer?
Many teams don’t. A common pattern is a few months full-time to fix pipelines and infrastructure, then scaling down once things run themselves.
Which clouds do you work with?
Mostly AWS and Vercel, plus Google Cloud and Azure on request. The engineer works in your accounts, with access you control.
How fast can they start?
DevOps engineers are a fast-start role: a senior engineer from our core team can usually start within 5 working days, while we match your long-term hire.
What does it cost to hire DevOps engineers?
From $2,800 a month (about $18/hr) for a mid-level engineer, $3,800 for senior and $4,800 for a lead, for about 160 hours a month. Overtime, when you need it, is 1.5× the normal rate.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. We sign a mutual NDA before you share details, every contract assigns all code and IP to you, and the code lives in your repositories.
