Strengthen your tech organization with specialists who keep complex environments running
Your tech organization is evolving rapidly. That is why you look for professionals who ensure that systems remain secure, scalable, and reliable as teams and user numbers grow. The market for this type of specialist is tight, especially for experienced cloud engineers, security specialists, and all-round DevOps engineers with knowledge of CI/CD, infrastructure, and automation.
Haystack People helps your e-commerce, platform, or SaaS organization find professionals with deep technical expertise who are accustomed to complex environments with high availability requirements. Think of DevOps engineers, cloud engineers, QA specialists, data engineers, and security professionals. Professionals who consciously choose technical depth, modern tooling, and the scope to build systems properly—rather than constantly putting out fires.
Our consultants understand what appeals to these specialists. We understand the difference between a traditional operations role and a modern Site Reliability Engineer. And know what Kubernetes, Terraform, or shift-left testing mean in practice. For us, it is about substance when we speak with candidates who consciously choose technical depth and modern engineering environments.
What you might want to know
A DevOps engineer focuses primarily on collaboration between development and operations, automation, and CI/CD processes. A cloud engineer focuses more heavily on infrastructure, networking, and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP. In modern tech organizations, those roles frequently overlap.
Senior cloud engineers with experience in AWS or Azure often earn between €75,000 and €100,000 per year. Freelance specialists usually work with day rates starting at approximately €650, depending on experience, certifications, and specialization.
Thanks to our network within tech organizations and targeted sourcing based on tech stacks and certifications, we are able to act quickly. Sometimes we speak to the first candidates within a few days. On average, we present the first suitable specialists within 2 to 4 weeks. For highly specific profiles, 4 to 6 weeks is more realistic.
Yes! For structural security challenges—regarding compliance or governance, for example—we often recommend a dedicated specialist. Engaging experienced freelancers or interim security professionals is a good option for temporary projects, penetration tests, audits, or one-off implementations. We would be happy to look at the best solution for you together.
