DevOps & Cloud
Modern DevOps is about building the intelligent, self-healing infrastructure that AI workloads demand. Your cloud is the factory floor for your models and data pipelines, and a successful nearshore software development strategy requires architects, not just script-runners. We provide elite cloud architects who build AI-ready platforms. They move beyond simple scripting to engineer observable, cost-optimized environments on AWS, Azure, and GCP. Our Axiom Cortex™ engine vets for mastery of Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and the ability to manage the unique demands of GPU-intensive workloads.

How We Vet for Elite DevOps & Cloud Talent
Our Axiom Cortex™ engine identifies top-tier talent by simulating real-world challenges specific to devops & cloud. We select for engineers who have already solved your hardest problems.
Legacy vendors often supply sysadmins disguised as DevOps engineers. They lack expertise in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), CI/CD automation, and observability, leading to manual, error-prone processes that slow down your release velocity and increase operational risk.
The Business Impact
This isn't just a technical issue; it's a drag on velocity and a source of production risk. A single mis-hire here costs you revenue, team morale, and market position.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Your cloud spend is too high for manual operators. Our platform predicts a candidate's true automation mindset. We vet for deep expertise in Terraform, Kubernetes, and automated deployment strategies (like blue/green and canary). You get a true DevOps practitioner who builds a reliable, self-service infrastructure, not a manual operator.
Your cloud environment has grown organically, resulting in inconsistent security configurations, overly permissive IAM roles, and a lack of cost visibility. You are exposed to security risks and your cloud bill is a painful surprise every month.
The Business Impact
This isn't just a technical issue; it's a drag on velocity and a source of production risk. A single mis-hire here costs you revenue, team morale, and market position.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We provide engineers with a security-first and cost-conscious mindset. Our vetting process includes scenarios on securing a cloud environment using the principle of least privilege and implementing cost governance with tools like AWS Budgets or Azure Cost Management. They build secure, cost-optimized infrastructure by design.
You only learn about problems when a customer complains. Your current monitoring is a collection of basic CPU and memory alerts that provide no insight into the actual user experience or the health of your services, leading to long, stressful outages.
The Business Impact
This isn't just a technical issue; it's a drag on velocity and a source of production risk. A single mis-hire here costs you revenue, team morale, and market position.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We select for experts in modern observability. They are vetted on their ability to implement the three pillars—metrics, logs, and traces—using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack. They build systems that are not just monitored, but are truly observable, enabling proactive problem detection and rapid debugging.
Your continuous integration and delivery pipelines are unreliable and slow, causing developers to wait hours for feedback. This context switching kills productivity and discourages frequent commits, undermining the very purpose of CI/CD.
The Business Impact
This isn't just a technical issue; it's a drag on velocity and a source of production risk. A single mis-hire here costs you revenue, team morale, and market position.
