Hire this roleWhy this role works from India
Cloud migration at scale
India runs a large share of global cloud migration and managed-operations work, so engineers arrive having modernised estates rather than only having read about it.
Cost that compounds
Infrastructure roles are often long-running. A standard $39/hour rate across a multi-year platform team is where the cost delta becomes material.
Follow-the-sun operations
On-call and platform operations coverage across time zones is far more practical when part of the rota sits in India.

Questions buyers actually ask
How much does a DevOps engineer in India cost vs. the US/UK?
TalentStores places DevOps engineers in India at a flat $39/hour with no EOR fee. Comparable US or UK engineers typically cost several times that once salary, benefits, payroll taxes and recruitment fees are loaded in, which is why platform teams are so often built offshore.
What cloud certifications should I expect (AWS/Azure/GCP)?
Look for AWS Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer Professional, Azure Administrator or Solutions Architect Expert, and Google Professional Cloud Architect. For Kubernetes, CKA and CKAD are the meaningful ones. Certifications appear on every profile alongside the recorded technical assessment.
Can I hire someone with Kubernetes and Terraform experience specifically?
Yes. Tooling is part of the requirement, so you can specify Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD or a particular cloud. Our screen tests those tools directly rather than accepting keyword matches on a resume.
How does TalentStores vet cloud/infra engineers?
Every engineer goes through a recorded technical panel screen with scenario-based infrastructure problems — pipeline design, failure diagnosis, cost and security trade-offs. Scores are data-logged, so you see assessed evidence rather than an unverified claim of vetting.
