Ways to Hire DevOps Engineers
Three engagement models, one vetting standard. Choose based on how much infrastructure work you need and whether that work is ongoing or project-based.
Dedicated DevOps Engineer
One engineer, full time, embedded in your team.
Your cloud accounts, your repositories, your standups, and your working hours. Best when infrastructure work is continuous, such as migrations, scaling, platform reliability, or ongoing deployment ownership.
See monthly rates →Hourly DevOps Engagement
Senior DevOps help for a defined infrastructure problem.
Set up CI/CD, containerize an existing application, troubleshoot deployment failures, improve monitoring, or clean up a fragile release process. For many teams, this is the more practical model because DevOps work does not always justify a full-time seat.
See hourly rates →DevOps + Backend Pair
A DevOps engineer working alongside a backend developer under one technical lead.
Best for work where infrastructure and application changes need to move together, such as replatforming, cloud migration, launch preparation, or moving away from a legacy hosting setup.
Talk through team sizing →The DevOps Work We Take On
We run production infrastructure ourselves, so the focus is practical: faster releases, stable environments, controlled access, and infrastructure your team can understand and maintain.
CI/CD Pipelines
Build and improve pipelines for automated testing, builds, and deployments. Your existing repositories, review rules, and release process stay in place, with rollback and recovery considered from the start.
Get consultationCloud & Containers
Set up and maintain cloud environments, Docker-based deployments, networking, SSL, DNS, backups, and the infrastructure surrounding your application. Everything is built inside your accounts and documented for your team.
Leave a requestReliability & Monitoring
Improve logging, alerting, uptime monitoring, backups, and failure visibility so your team can identify problems before they become prolonged outages.
Order an estimateWhen You Don't Need a Full-Time Engineer
Not every product needs a dedicated DevOps engineer. If you need a CI/CD setup, deployment cleanup, infrastructure review, or a few days of support each month, an hourly engagement may make more sense. We will recommend that instead of selling you a full-time seat you do not need.
View Our PortfolioHow We Vet DevOps Engineers
Four stages before anyone appears in a profile we send you. You see the evidence, not just the claim.
Application Review
We screen for real production infrastructure experience, not just certifications or lab projects. Candidates need evidence of working with live environments, deployments, cloud infrastructure, and operational responsibility.
Technical Screen
A live technical session covering the areas that matter in day-to-day DevOps work: CI/CD design, container networking, deployment strategy, rollback planning, access control, and common failure scenarios. No trivia questions.
Live Scenario With a Lead
The candidate works through a realistic infrastructure incident and deployment change while one of our technical leads reviews their approach. We look at how they reason about systems they did not build, how they reduce risk, and how they communicate under pressure.
Paid Test Project
A scoped, paid infrastructure task reviewed against our engineering standards, including documentation, least-privilege access, reversibility, and change discipline. Only engineers who clear this stage join the bench.
Hire a DevOps Engineer in 4 Steps
From requirements call to the first infrastructure change in 5 to 10 business days. Your total time: about one hour.
Requirements Call
Tell us your current stack, cloud environment, deployment process, infrastructure priorities, and start date. You speak with a technical lead, not a sales layer. An NDA can be signed before any environment details are shared.
Review Your Matched Engineer
We match a DevOps engineer to your infrastructure and send their profile, including production experience, stack history, and work samples. Not the right match? Tell us why and we rematch before anything is signed.
Engineer Starts in Your Environment
Your cloud accounts, repositories, access policies, and deployment workflow stay in place. Contract and IP assignment are signed before the first infrastructure change.
Scale as You Need
Continue full time, add support as infrastructure demands grow, or scale down with 30 days notice and no exit fee. If the engineer is not the right fit, we replace them within 5 business days at no additional cost.
What You See Before Your DevOps Engineer Starts
Every match comes with a profile pack focused on the infrastructure the engineer has actually operated, not just the tools listed on their CV. Nothing is signed until you have reviewed it.
DevOps Engineer Profile Pack
Generated by Xpertz Vetting Team1. Production Infrastructure Experience
See the environments they have worked on, the infrastructure they were responsible for, and the kind of deployment, reliability, and cloud work they handled. The summary is prepared by the technical lead who vetted them.
2. DevOps Stack History
Review the cloud platforms, CI/CD systems, containers, web servers, databases, and infrastructure tools they have used in production and for how long.
3. Infrastructure Work Samples
Review relevant pipeline configurations, infrastructure code, scripts, or other technical samples before you make a hiring decision.
4. Communication & Working Hours
See their English proficiency and confirmed working-hour overlap with your team before the engagement begins.

What Working With Your DevOps Engineer Looks Like
Your infrastructure stays in your accounts, under your access rules and release process. The engineer works inside the environment your team already controls.
Works Inside Your Accounts
Your cloud accounts, repositories, issue tracker, and deployment workflow stay in place. Your DevOps engineer works directly with your team.
Your Access Policies Stay Yours
You control IAM roles, permissions, credentials, and secrets. Access is provisioned by your team, scoped to the work required, and can be revoked at any time.
Infrastructure Code Belongs to You
All pipeline definitions, infrastructure code, scripts, configurations, and documentation produced during the engagement belong to you. IP assignment is documented before the first commit.
Review Before They Join
You see their production infrastructure experience, DevOps stack history, and work samples before signing. If the match is not right, we rematch you before the engagement starts.
Fits Your Change Process
Your review gates, deployment windows, rollback procedures, and approval process remain in place. Infrastructure work stays within your existing workflow.
Flexible Terms + 5 Day Replacement
Dedicated engineers are billed monthly. Hourly engagements have a 24-hour minimum. Scale down or end a monthly engagement with 30 days notice and no exit fee. If the engineer is not the right fit after starting, we replace them within 5 business days at no additional cost.

It depends on how frequently your infrastructure changes. CI/CD setup, deployment improvements, containerization, or occasional infrastructure maintenance may only require an hourly engagement. A dedicated engineer makes more sense when you have ongoing migrations, scaling work, frequent releases, or infrastructure that requires continuous attention.
The engineer works under your access model. Your team provisions credentials and controls IAM roles, permissions, and secrets. Access is scoped to the work required and can be revoked by you at any time. Your infrastructure remains in your accounts.
Yes. AWS is part of the infrastructure stack covered by our team. Tell us about your AWS environment, application stack, deployment process, and infrastructure requirements during the requirements call so we can match an engineer with relevant experience.
Yes. A DevOps engineer can set up build, test, and deployment pipelines within your repositories, including review gates and deployment workflows. For a standard application, this may be better suited to an hourly engagement than a full-time hire.
