Devops Engineer (Freelancer)

Job Summary

Were looking for a freelance DevOps engineer to design, automate, and maintain our cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment workflows. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code (Terraform/Ansible), and can work independently with minimal oversight.

Requirements

• Verifiable freelance or contract work (GitHub profile, case studies, or client references) showing real infrastructure/deployment work
• Hands-on expertise in your specific cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), IaC tool (Terraform/Ansible), and container platform (Docker/Kubernetes)
• Ability to set up and maintain pipelines independently with minimal onboarding (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
• Can work with minimal supervision and documents work clearly for handoff/continuity (critical since freelancers often work part-time or remotely)
• Comfortable signing NDAs, using secure access methods (VPN, least-privilege access), and following your data-handling policies
• Clarity on hourly/project-based rates, and willingness to work within defined scope or sprints
• Willingness (and rate clarity) for on-call or emergency support if your systems need it
• Ability to quickly understand and integrate with existing infrastructure without extensive hand-holding
