Hire DevOps Engineers Who Deliver From Day One

Our hiring process starts by pre-vetting every candidate for technical skill and cultural fit. Our rigorous process ensures that only the most qualified, compatible, and high-performing candidates are presented for your consideration.

In many cases, we can match you with a single DevOps engineer within a few weeks. Larger teams take longer, depending on the skill sets and number of engineers required. 

Yes. You can start with one DevOps engineer or ramp up a dedicated team, then adjust headcount up or down as your infrastructure and automation needs evolve.

Rates for DevOps services are shaped by specialization, cloud expertise, automation experience, and the technical demands of your project. While elite DevOps consultants might charge upwards of $250/hour, most engagements fall between $50 to $150/hour, with skilled mid-level talent commonly available around $70–$100/hour.

DevOps platforms may give you access to a list of engineers, but you’re on the hook for vetting, onboarding, and engagement. X-Team differs by providing fully committed, pre-vetted DevOps engineers who integrate into your stack, pipelines, and culture for the long haul.

You do, as long as payment is current. All infrastructure code, scripts, and automation created by X-Team engineers are fully yours, protected under clean work-for-hire and IP assignment agreements.

Engineers adopt your repositories, CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments, and communication tools from day one—joining stand-ups, reviews, and planning just like any in-house teammate.

We’ll resolve the issue quickly, whether through feedback or replacing the engineer. Our goal is long-term cultural fit, not just quick placement.

X-Team’s model is async-first, but we prioritize overlap with your core hours and match you with engineers who can collaborate in real time where it matters.

Engineers follow your existing CI/CD, infrastructure, and security practices, use secure company-issued devices, and comply with best practices for secrets management, credentials, and access.

X-Team manages the full operational layer so you can scale globally without the legal or logistical friction.

• - We handle onboarding, contracts, NDAs, and background checks.
• - We ensure every engineer is properly classified and compliant in their country of residence.
• - You receive a single, simple invoice — no paperwork overload, no surprises.

No matter where your engineer calls home, you get peace of mind knowing everything’s covered — legally, securely, and by the book.

We’ll sign an MSA that covers the terms of our work together. After that, our minimum engagement for a contracted scope of work is 3 months.
