DevOps / Cloud Engineers
DevOps and cloud engineers for teams losing time to infrastructure drag
Silicon Development helps product teams add infrastructure engineers who can improve deployment reliability, clean up cloud architecture, and reduce operational drag. This role matters when product engineers are spending too much time on broken deploys, noisy alerts, or infrastructure that no one fully owns.
What this role usually owns
These are the kinds of problems this role should be able to take responsibility for inside an operating product team.
Designing and fixing CI/CD pipelines so the team ships faster with fewer broken deploys
Cloud infrastructure architecture, migration, and cost optimization
Setting up monitoring, observability, and alerting that actually gets used
Security hardening and compliance infrastructure for SOC 2, HIPAA, and similar audits
When teams usually need this role
- Deployments are slow or fragile and software engineers are spending too much time on infrastructure they should not own
- You are approaching SOC 2, HIPAA, or another compliance milestone and need someone who has done it before
- You need infrastructure capacity and judgment, but not enough to justify a full standalone ops team
What we screen for
- Operational judgment under real production constraints, not only certification or tool familiarity
- Ability to improve infrastructure without disrupting the release cadence the product team depends on
- Security, compliance, and reliability thinking that holds up in regulated or customer-sensitive environments

The right DevOps or cloud engineer should make releases, observability, and compliance work feel more stable inside the team you already have.
