Mira AI

Every CV, read against the stack you named.

Engineering applications are the easiest to inflate and the slowest to read. You write the scorecard once, and every application is scored the moment it arrives, so your shortlist stays current without anyone opening a CV.

Scoring as applications arrive

Scored against your criteria, with the reasoning attached.

Every application is scored against the languages, frameworks, seniority and system scale you named, not against a generic model of a good engineer. Each score arrives with the sentences that produced it, so you can overrule it on the spot.

  • Ranked against named languages, frameworks and system scale
  • Reasoning shown on every score, including the low ones
  • Flags seniority claims that do not match the scope you wrote
  • Re-scores as new applications arrive
Mira AI's highlights overview for an applicant, showing a match score alongside applied date, stage, experience, current company, location and notice period.
Cloud, DevOps & Security roles

Start from what you are building.

Cloud, DevOps and security roles grouped by the job in front of you rather than by job title. Any role you do not see here can still be opened the same way.

You are moving to the cloud or scaling on it

Match the cloud you actually run. An AWS specialist is not a drop-in Azure one, and the ramp-up cost of a mismatch is real.

  • Cloud Engineers
  • AWS Engineers
  • Azure Engineers
  • GCP Engineers
  • Terraform Engineers
  • Cloud Architects

You are automating builds and deployments

Hire for the pipeline you want, not the scripts you have. Container and orchestration experience separates a smooth release from a fragile one.

  • DevOps Engineers
  • CI/CD Engineers
  • Kubernetes Engineers
  • Release Engineers
  • Automation Engineers

You need your systems to stay up

Reliability is its own discipline. Look for people who have carried a pager and improved the numbers, not just watched the dashboards.

  • Site Reliability Engineers
  • Reliability Engineers
  • Observability Engineers
  • Incident Response Engineers
  • Platform Engineers

You are hardening the product against attack

Offensive and defensive security are different hires. Be clear which you need before you post the role.

  • Security Engineers
  • Application Security Engineers
  • Penetration Testers
  • SOC Analysts

You are meeting a security or compliance bar

SOC 2, ISO 27001 and cloud posture are as much process as engineering. Hire for the framework you are certifying against.

  • Cloud Security Engineers
  • IAM Engineers
  • GRC Analysts
  • Compliance Engineers

You are building the internal developer platform

This is product work aimed at your own engineers. Developer experience matters as much as the infrastructure underneath.

  • Platform Engineers
  • Developer Experience Engineers
  • Internal Tools Engineers
  • DevOps Engineers
Seniority

Titles inflate. Scope does not.

Writing the scope into the scorecard filters harder than writing a job title into the ad.

Junior

0 to 2 years

Handles well-specified tickets, runbooks and changes. Needs review on production and security impact.

Mid-level

3 to 5 years

Owns a service, pipeline or environment end to end. The deepest band in India and the fastest to fill.

Senior

6 to 9 years

Owns the reliability or delivery of a system, sets patterns and makes build-versus-buy calls. Notice is usually 60 to 90 days.

Lead / Staff

10 years and up

Sets infrastructure or security direction across teams. A much smaller pool, and titles inflate here, so scope matters more than the label.

Why Mira AI

AI screening that leaves the decision with you.

It never rejects anyone

Nobody leaves your pipeline because of a score. The one exception is auto-reject for candidates who stop responding, and you switch that on yourself.

It never hides its reasoning

Every score carries the sentences behind it. A number you cannot interrogate is not a decision you can defend to your engineering lead.

It is never the only reader

Move to recruiter-assisted and a technical recruiter in India reviews the shortlist and speaks to everyone you interview.

Keep your own ATS

Screen candidates with Mira AI and export them, or run the whole process here. Both are supported and neither locks you in.

Bring your own applicants

Candidates from your careers page, a GitHub referral or another job board get scored against the same scorecard as ours.

Employment stays your choice

Employ the engineer on your own Indian entity, or ask us to be the legal employer if you have none. That is decided at offer stage.

Pricing

Start with the tool. Add reach. Add people.

Every plan includes Mira. What changes is how far your roles travel and how much of the work you hand over.

Base

Free forever

For a team running its own hiring and tired of doing it in spreadsheets.

  • Full pipeline and candidate tracking
  • Your own hosted careers page
  • Mira in Slack, with monthly credits
  • Unlimited open roles

Bespoke

Contingent on a joined hire

Some roles need a person on the phone. Our recruiters take over sourcing and interview coordination, working the pipeline Mira has already built — so you're paying for judgment and conversations, not for admin.

Contingent fee of 10%, 12.5% or 15% of first-year salary, set by role seniority. Under a talent agreement, billed only on a joined hire.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything engineering leads and founders ask before they post a first cloud, DevOps or security role.

How do I hire DevOps, cloud and security engineers in India?

Open the role with the clouds, tools, seniority and timezone overlap you need. Mira AI drafts the job description and scorecard, the role reaches our candidate community, and every application is scored against your scorecard as it arrives. You interview the ranked shortlist, and when you are ready to offer, Wisemonk employs the person on your behalf so you do not need an Indian entity.

Which cloud, DevOps and security roles can I hire in India?

Any of them. DevOps and CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, site reliability, platform engineering, cybersecurity and cloud security are the areas we hire for most. Roles outside those, from FinOps to GRC and blockchain security, can be opened the same way; the scorecard is built from your brief, not from a fixed list.

How much does it cost to hire a DevOps, cloud or security engineer in India?

It depends on seniority, the specialism and the city. A senior SRE or security architect is benchmarked very differently from a mid-level cloud engineer. When you post a role, we check your salary band against our own payroll data for that specialism and tell you before it goes live whether the band will fill the role. On top of salary, employer costs in India include provident fund and gratuity, which Wisemonk carries as the legal employer.

How long does it take to hire?

Applications start arriving as soon as the role is live, and Mira AI scores them as they come in. The start date is set by the notice period rather than the search: employed engineers commonly serve 30 to 90 days, and senior specialists are often a full 90. Filter for shorter notice when the start date matters more than seniority.

How do you verify DevOps, cloud and security skills?

Mira AI scores each application against the scorecard you wrote, which for these roles usually means named clouds and tools, the systems they have run in production, and the scale and uptime they have been responsible for. Every score comes with the reasoning behind it. You still run your own technical rounds, and a scenario or troubleshooting exercise tells you more than a list of tools on a CV.

Do certifications like AWS, CKA or CISSP matter?

They are a useful signal, not a substitute for one. A certification shows familiarity; running the system in production shows capability. Put the certifications you care about in the scorecard and Mira AI will weigh them alongside real experience rather than treating them as a pass or fail.

Will engineers in India work US or UK hours, and can they take on-call?

Partial overlap with the UK and Europe is standard and easy to staff, and on-call rotations that follow the sun work well with an India team. Full US-hours shifts are a smaller pool, so set the overlap and on-call expectations when you open the role and only candidates who accept them apply.

Do I need a company in India to employ an engineer there?

No. Wisemonk becomes the legal employer, holds the employment contract, runs payroll, and handles provident fund, gratuity, ESI and income tax withholding. You direct the work day to day. If you already have an Indian entity, you can employ the person on it instead. That is decided at offer stage, not when you post.

Should I hire as a contractor or an employee?

Indian law looks at how the work is directed, not at what the contract is called. If you set hours, supply the laptop and manage someone daily, treating them as a contractor carries misclassification risk, and for security roles in particular it affects access, accountability and who owns the work. Employment through Wisemonk removes that risk without needing your own entity.

Who owns the infrastructure code and configurations my hires produce?

Your company. The employment contract Wisemonk signs on your behalf includes IP assignment and confidentiality terms, so work created in the course of employment, including infrastructure code, configurations and security tooling, belongs to you, not to the individual or to Wisemonk.

What does senior mean for a DevOps or SRE engineer in India?

Roughly six to nine years, owning the reliability or delivery of a system end to end, setting the patterns others follow and making the build-versus-buy calls. Titles inflate in the Indian market, so write the scope you need into the scorecard rather than relying on the job title on a CV.

Can I use Mira AI with my existing ATS?

Yes. Screen candidates with Mira AI and export them into your own system, or run the whole process here. Candidates from your careers page, a referral or another job board get scored against the same scorecard as ours.
