Every title we cover

The infrastructure and platform domain centers on creating resilient, automated, and scalable environments that support distributed software services. Engineers in this space build the foundations upon which products operate, emphasizing reliability, security, and developer experience. The work involves managing global cloud footprints, optimizing compute resources, and implementing infrastructure as code to ensure consistency across complex production market.

We recruit for roles that span from cloud architecture design to high volume observability and site reliability management. Our strategy focuses on identifying candidates who treat infrastructure as a product, prioritizing automation and self service capabilities for internal teams. Technical depth in cloud native technologies and a relentless focus on stability are the pillars of this hiring mission.

What we screen for

  • Cloud Architecture Knowledge

    We evaluate deep familiarity with core cloud service providers including networking, storage, and compute primitives. Candidates must demonstrate an ability to design cost efficient and highly available architectures that meet specific throughput requirements. Understanding regional distribution, multi cloud strategies, and security configuration is essential. We check for the ability to articulate trade-offs between various managed service offerings and self-hosted solutions.

  • Infrastructure Automation Skills

    This check focuses on the mastery of infrastructure as code methodologies. Candidates should demonstrate significant experience writing reusable code to provision and manage cloud environments. Proficiency with configuration management tools and version control systems is required. We evaluate how they manage state, prevent drift, and ensure that infrastructure updates are performed safely and predictably in high pressure production environments.

  • Reliability Engineering Proficiency

    We investigate experience in maintaining service level objectives and implementing reliable error budgets. Candidates must show a history of conducting root cause analysis and implementing long term fixes for production incidents. Understanding how to build systems that handle failure gracefully is paramount. We assess their ability to utilize observability tools to monitor system health and drive iterative improvements for reliability.

  • Container Orchestration Expertise

    This assessment reviews technical depth in container management and orchestration platforms. Candidates must be comfortable defining complex deployment topologies, managing cluster scaling, and ensuring security within multi tenant environments. We look for deep practical knowledge of networking, storage interfaces, and troubleshooting strategies. Demonstrating an ability to optimize container images and manage lifecycle events is critical for modern infrastructure management.

  • System Observability Capability

    We probe for experience in designing and maintaining comprehensive telemetry stacks. Candidates should describe how they implement distributed tracing, logging, and metric gathering across microservice architectures. The focus is on their ability to turn raw data into actionable insights that minimize mean time to resolution during outages. Knowledge of modern monitoring platforms and query languages is a prerequisite for success.

  • Developer Productivity Focus

    Our final check evaluates the ability to create platform abstractions that accelerate feature delivery. We look for evidence of building internal developer tools, standardizing CI/CD pipelines, and creating intuitive self service portals. Candidates must demonstrate an empathy for the developer lifecycle, balancing the need for speed with the requirements of security and governance across distributed engineering teams.

Where we find them

We source talent by identifying engineers at organizations that operate complex, massive scale cloud environments requiring highly custom platform solutions. We look for professionals who actively improve the tools used by their peers or who share knowledge about reliable systems at scale. By focusing on engineers who thrive in high complexity, we identify those capable of building reliable foundations.

Additionally, we reach out to specialists in implementation consultancies who have solved infrastructure challenges across various business models and technical stacks. These individuals bring a breadth of exposure to modern automation patterns and cloud native paradigms. This sourcing approach ensures we attract candidates with a proven track record of shipping stable, scalable platforms in diverse technical environments.

How a Cloud, DevOps, SRE and Platform search runs

The hiring process begins with a technical assessment focused on past system architecture and infrastructure design decisions. We review how candidates have handled scale, outages, and the automation of repetitive tasks. This stage allows us to understand their technical philosophy and their capacity to build systems that are inherently maintainable and resistant to common failures in distributed environments.

The subsequent evaluation involves deep dives into specific infrastructure problems through scenario based interviews. We ask candidates to walk us through their approach to designing a new platform component or mitigating a critical production failure. This conversational approach provides insight into their problem solving logic, collaboration style, and ability to balance technical idealism with the realities of production.

What happens next

Questions about this search

When will we see a shortlist?

We agree the search plan after checking your requirements for cloud architecture knowledge and infrastructure automation skills, rather than promising a date before the brief is clear. We evaluate deep familiarity with core cloud service providers including networking, storage, and compute primitives.

What if a candidate gets a counteroffer?

We ask what would make someone leave work involving cloud architecture knowledge, and what could make them stay. Before you invest in interviews, we discuss whether your offer changes the problem they want to leave, including the responsibility for developer productivity focus.

Should this role be remote or on site?

Experience with cloud architecture knowledge and infrastructure automation skills does not settle the location question. Tell us what access and supervision the work needs, including who owns decisions about developer productivity focus, so we approach people who can accept the arrangement.

How will you check fit before we interview?

We evaluate deep familiarity with core cloud service providers including networking, storage, and compute primitives. Candidates must demonstrate an ability to design cost efficient and highly available architectures that meet specific throughput requirements. This check focuses on the mastery of infrastructure as code methodologies.

How does the fee work?

No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire. Agree the fee and the responsibilities covering cloud architecture knowledge and infrastructure automation skills in the recruiting agreement before the search proceeds.

What if the hire does not work out?

We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement. Make sure the agreed scope includes what you expect of developer productivity focus, rather than leaving that discussion until after the start.
