Hire AWS and Azure developers in India, powered by Mira AI.

Open the role describing your estate rather than a certification: which cloud, what runs on it, and whether you need it built, migrated or maintained. Mira AI drafts the job description and a scorecard around that environment, the role reaches our candidate community, and each application is scored as it lands. You review the ranked list and Wisemonk employs whoever you settle on.

Hire for the cloud you are already on, because the cost of moving a workload to suit the talent market is far greater than the difference in salary. Starting fresh, AWS has the deepest pool in India and the widest service range. Azure is close behind and dominant wherever Microsoft already runs the business. Google Cloud is smaller here and skews towards data and Kubernetes people. Below architect level, a strong engineer moves between clouds in a couple of months.

Cloud infrastructure prices alongside strong back-end engineering, with architects and migration leads well above that. Linux and system administration sits at the more affordable end. What moves the number most is whether the role carries accountability for the bill and the availability of the estate, rather than which platform is named. When you open a role we check your band against our payroll data before it goes live.

A cloud engineer owns the estate: accounts, networking, identity, cost and the architecture underneath everything. A DevOps engineer owns the path to production: pipelines, infrastructure as code and deployment. Small teams get one person doing both, and that is fine until the cloud bill or the network design needs somebody thinking about it full time. Our DevOps and SRE page covers the other half of this split.

Certification culture is genuinely strong in India, partly because services companies fund and require them, so a wall of badges tells you less here than it might elsewhere. That is not a reason to dismiss them; it is a reason not to stop there. Ask what the certified person has actually been responsible for: an account, a migration, a budget, an outage. Mira AI weighs environments owned above the certifications listed for exactly this reason.

A working overlap with the UK and Europe is normal. A full US shift narrows the field, though infrastructure teams in India are well used to follow-the-sun cover. The question candidates weigh most carefully is not the working day but whether the role carries out-of-hours responsibility for the estate, so be specific about that early.

Yes, and this is a common arrangement. Where your data physically sits is a matter of which regions you deploy into, and is independent of where the engineer managing it happens to live. What you control separately is access: which roles they hold, what they can read as opposed to administer, and whether production data is visible at all. Set those boundaries in the brief so they are screened for rather than negotiated afterwards.

No. Wisemonk acts as the legal employer, signs the contract and runs payroll along with provident fund, gratuity, ESI and income tax withholding. The engineer takes direction from your team. Where an Indian entity already exists in your group, the hire can be placed on it instead, and that is decided at the offer.

Roughly six to nine years, owning the account structure, the network design and the monthly cost of the estate, and being consulted before new workloads land on it. Certifications accumulate quickly at this level, so write the responsibilities you want carried into the scorecard rather than reading the badges.

One experienced person can lead a migration, and often should, because a single owner keeps the sequencing coherent. What they cannot do alone is carry the application changes, the testing and the cutover weekend. The pattern that works is one senior migration owner supported by the teams who know each workload. The pattern that fails is handing the whole thing to a capable generalist and waiting.
