Production-ready infrastructure doesn’t build itself. We’ll match you with cloud engineers who know how to deliver it and keep it running.
Plenty of cloud engineers can provision infrastructure. But when systems break, only a few know how to recover and stabilize We screen for those rockstars.
Cloud engineers with live system experience.
Cloud engineers who explain ‘why’ and not just ‘how’.
Knows how to design efficiently for AWS.
Weak profiles don’t reach you for consideration.
We’ve seen all of it. That’s why our vetting digs deeper into what real ownership entails.
We stand behind every hire with a 90-day guarantee
Build your internal cloud competency with full-time hires.
STACK IT’s Structured Candidate Evaluation assesses each trait based on its criticality to success in a cloud engineer role.
Has the engineer worked in multi-account environments, designed region-aware deployment patterns, and implemented disaster recovery and governance controls?
Have they supported infrastructure with real user traffic, uptime SLAs, and operational risk? Did they own the outcome or just deploy the code? Because, there’s a big difference.
Have they led postmortems, written rollback paths, or owned the resolution of a major production incident? These are high priority questions that candidates need to answer for consideration.
Can they identify cost anomalies, implement budget alerts, tag resources consistently, and factor cloud spend into design choices?
Do they write modular, reusable Terraform or CloudFormation code? Do they manage state cleanly and think about reusability in addition to provisioning?
STACK IT cloud engineers have built production-grade environments, restructured access controls, and led complex migrations without disruption, supporting teams across systems.
A SaaS client needed a full cloud environment fast.
Our engineer built out AWS from scratch using modular Terraform, cutting 20+ hours/month in upkeep.
This client couldn’t afford a misstep. Legacy systems were being moved to Azure, but uptime had to hold.
Our engineer designed a phased migration with rollback checkpoints and integrated audit support. Everything transitioned smoothly with zero outage incidents.
Twelve separate cloud environments. Inconsistent access policies. Manual audit reviews that slowed everything down.
Our engineer rebuilt IAM structures, introduced tagging standards, and automated logging, resulting in a 30% reduction in security review time.
We place engineers with deep expertise across cloud platforms, infrastructure disciplines, and operational focus areas. This table highlights the specialties we support most often.
| Focus Area | Key Skills / Tools | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| AWS | IAM, EC2, VPC, CloudTrail, S3, CloudWatch, Route 53, EKS | Hybrid migrations, FinOps, region-aware design |
| Azure | Azure DevOps, VNets, RBAC, Azure Monitor, AKS, Bicep | Enterprise lift-and-shift, hybrid identity, governance setup |
| GCP | GKE, IAM, Cloud Functions, Stackdriver, Cloud Build | Cloud-native platforms, ML deployment, CI/CD modernization |
| IaC Specialists | Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, CDK | DR patterns, multi-account management, reusable modules |
| Platform Engineering | Backstage, Golden Paths, developer tooling, internal platform design | Developer enablement, environment standardization |
| Security & Compliance | IAM hardening, SOC2/NIST/CIS implementation, secrets mgmt (Vault, KMS), audit logging | Regulated orgs, incident prevention, policy automation |
| Observability & Ops | Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry | Uptime, alert routing, incident triage |
| Cost Optimization / FinOps | Billing data pipelines, anomaly detection, budget alerting, rightsizing tooling | Reducing waste, surfacing team-level usage trends |
We’ll help you choose the right model. That means you get cloud engineers ready to contribute from day one.
Screening only for cloud skills puts you at risk. We look for engineers who think ahead to build for process and scale from the outset.
Every hour of unplanned downtime can cost thousands in lost revenue, SLA penalties, and eroded trust, especially in financial, logistics, or healthcare environments.
98% of organizations now report that even a single hour of downtime costs more than $100,000. (IBM Hybrid Cloud Study, 2024)

That’s why our clients stay and why our hires do too.
A healthcare client needed to de-risk their Azure migration without impacting uptime. Our cloud engineer designed a phased rollout with rollback planning baked in.
Cloud Engineers focus on infrastructure design, deployment, and optimization across cloud platforms. DevOps Engineers center on pipeline efficiency and release automation. There’s overlap, but the accountability is different.
Yes. Adaptability matters more than credentials. We find engineers who’ve worked across platforms and made it work.
Yes. We specifically evaluate how engineers document environments, onboard others, and ensure clean handoffs.
That’s what our contract model is for. We’ll get someone in fast who can contribute immediately.
We can often place a contract Cloud Engineer, sometimes, in under a week. For full-time roles, the timeline depends on screening complexity and fit.
The right Cloud Engineer makes all the difference. We’ll help you find one who has done it before and done it well.
That’s our STACK.
