Dedicated Developer
A DevOps engineer works only on your project, inside the tools and workflows of your team.
Best for Ongoing reliability, CI/CD and platform ownership

DevOps, Accelerated with AI
Incident Investigation
AI helps our engineers read logs, metrics and traces, spot anomalies early and narrow down the likely root cause when something breaks in production.
Infrastructure Drift Detection
Claude Code helps engineers write and review Terraform and CloudFormation changes, and drift detection compares your running infrastructure against its declared state, catching configuration changes that could cause security vulnerabilities or outages.
Pipeline Optimization
AI helps engineers analyze build and deployment pipelines to find bottlenecks, flaky tests and slow steps that hold back delivery for your team.
Cost Aware Scaling
AI helps engineers weigh traffic patterns and resource usage when planning scaling, balancing performance requirements against cloud spending.
What Our DevOps Developers Build
CI/CD Pipeline Design
Automated build, test, and deployment pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins. Branch strategies, environment promotion, and rollback procedures.
Container Orchestration
Docker containerization and Kubernetes deployment. Service discovery, health checks, rolling updates, and resource management for microservices.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform and CloudFormation for version-controlled, peer-reviewed infrastructure. Reproducible environments from development to production.
Monitoring & Observability
Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or CloudWatch monitoring with alerting, dashboards, and SLA tracking. Distributed tracing for microservices.
Security & Compliance
Container scanning, secret management, network policies, and compliance automation. SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS readiness for regulated environments.
Cloud Migration & Optimization
Migrate workloads between clouds or from on-premise. Cost optimization, architecture modernization, and performance tuning for existing deployments.
VETTING PIPELINE
How engineers earn a spot on our team
Our hiring process has three stages, from the application screen to a project deep dive with background verification, and every new engineer then serves a probation period.
4 checks
Application screen
We source engineers across India through LinkedIn, Wellfound, employee referrals and outbound headhunting. Every application is checked for stack relevance, years of experience, English and time zone overlap before it moves to a technical interview.
60 to 90 min
Live coding and scenario questions
A live coding round of 60 to 90 minutes in the primary technology of the candidate, followed by scenario based questions on practical applications of that technology.
3 checks
Project deep dive and background verification
Candidates walk us through a recent production project, covering the architecture decisions and what they would change in hindsight. A third party background verification agency then confirms prior employment, education and identity.
Probation
A probation period follows
New engineers then serve a probation period, and those who do not meet our bar do not continue with us.

Rates run $25 to $50 an hour depending on seniority, and fixed scope projects have a $10,000 minimum. US specialists typically bill $150 to $300 per hour for comparable work. Your AWS, Azure or GCP usage is billed separately by the cloud provider, and so are paid tools in your pipeline, such as Datadog infrastructure monitoring, which is priced per host, and GitHub Actions minutes beyond the free quota for private repositories.
