FAQ

Common questions about hiring devops engineers

What cloud platforms do your DevOps engineers support?

Our DevOps engineers work primarily with AWS, including EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, and CloudFormation. They also have experience with Google Cloud Platform and Azure for multi-cloud environments.

Can your DevOps engineers set up CI/CD from scratch?

Yes. Our DevOps engineers design and implement complete CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins. This includes automated testing, staging deployments, production rollouts, and rollback procedures.

Do your DevOps engineers handle monitoring and alerting?

Absolutely. Our engineers set up monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or CloudWatch. They configure alerts for uptime, performance, error rates, and resource utilization so issues are caught before they impact users.

How much does it cost to hire a DevOps engineer per hour?

DevOps engineer hourly rates range from $85-$170/hour in North America, $60-$130/hour in Western Europe, and $22-$35/hour through Geminate. Our dedicated DevOps engineers cost $3,500-$5,500/month full-time — roughly $22-$35/hour — saving you 55-65% compared to hiring locally.

Can I hire a DevOps engineer for a short-term project?

Yes. Our minimum engagement is 1 month. Short-term DevOps projects work well for CI/CD pipeline setup, cloud migration sprints, infrastructure audits, and Kubernetes cluster configuration. Many clients start with a 2-month infrastructure overhaul and extend for ongoing maintenance.

What if the DevOps engineer does not meet expectations?

Free replacement within 1 week. If the trial week does not work out, you do not pay for that week. After the trial, if performance drops at any point, we replace the engineer at no extra cost. We maintain a bench of pre-vetted DevOps engineers with AWS and Kubernetes expertise.

Do you provide senior or lead-level DevOps engineers?

Yes. We have mid-level DevOps engineers ($3,500-$4,500/month) and senior/lead ($4,500-$6,500/month). Senior DevOps engineers bring architecture expertise in multi-cloud setups, Kubernetes at scale, Terraform modules, and can design your entire infrastructure strategy.

How do your DevOps engineers compare to Toptal or Upwork freelancers?

Three key differences: our DevOps engineers are full-time dedicated to your infrastructure (not juggling multiple clients), they are backed by a team (backend devs, security reviews, 24/7 monitoring handoff), and they cost 40-55% less than Toptal. Toptal DevOps engineers typically charge $70-$130+/hour. Our engineers deliver the same quality from $22-$35/hour with team support.
