Find the right person for the work.

What good looks like

Agree what is managed in code and how changes are reviewed. Useful measures include infrastructure defined in version control, pipelines with automated tests and alerts that reach the right person.

Define who approves infrastructure changes, who holds production credentials and what needs escalation, including spending limits on cloud accounts.

Assess the right fit

Our catalogue candidates are reviewed and interviewed by our team.

Discuss experience with your cloud provider, pipeline tools and deployment model. Ask the candidate to explain how they would roll back a failed deployment, structure Terraform for several environments and set sensible alerts.

Agree a short technical exercise with our team, using a sample repository, sandbox account or sample data, and ask for a walkthrough of past work. Give least-privilege access with separate roles for each environment, and make sure production changes follow your review process.

Let’s find your person

Start with a conversation. Agree the full quote and terms before you hire.

From your brief to their first day.

Meet the person. Understand the cost. Start with a plan you’ve agreed together.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Share the work, experience and hours you need. You can start with a role enquiry or discuss someone you have seen in the catalogue.

  2. Meet your shortlist

    Review suitable people, discuss relevant experience and interview the candidates you want to consider. Agree any role-specific assessment with us.

  3. Agree the hire and get started

    Review the full quote, service terms and working arrangements before committing. Then plan access, handover and onboarding together.

The starting price is a guide for a full-time hire in the Philippines. Your quote confirms the total for your chosen person, agreed hours and service arrangements.

  • Experience and scope: specialist skills, seniority and the responsibilities you need affect the price.
  • Hours and coverage: agree the working week, time-zone overlap and any evening or weekend needs.
  • What is included: ask for the breakdown of employment costs, our service, equipment and any one-off charges, with currency and applicable taxes stated.

We confirm these details before you commit. The starting price is not a fixed quote for every candidate.

Timing depends on the brief, candidate availability, interviews and any notice period. We will agree the next update and a target start date with you once those details are clear. If the right person is not currently available, we can recruit to your brief.

  1. Set the access: agree cloud roles, multi-factor authentication, a sandbox environment and the approval path for production changes.
  2. Handover one pipeline: review your current deployment and infrastructure code together, then make a small change in a non-production environment.
  3. Review the first change cycle: check the pull requests, monitoring coverage and runbooks, then agree what the engineer can change without further approval.

You can discuss a role without committing to a hire. Before proceeding, review your written quote and agreement for payment timing, currency and taxes, notice requirements, the support included and what happens if the hire is not the right fit.

We will confirm replacement arrangements and any conditions in your agreement before you proceed.
