Cloud engineering · AWS · GCP · Azure
Cloud architects, infrastructure engineers, FinOps practitioners, and cloud-security specialists across AWS, GCP, and Azure — screened on the specific services, account structures, and migration paths your team actually operates.
Why ApTask for cloud engineers
01
A multi-cloud generalist is rarely the right hire when your platform runs on EKS, IAM, KMS, EventBridge, and Step Functions. We screen for AWS-native (or GCP-native, or Azure-native) depth — and we match the candidate to your platform, not the other way around.
02
A lift-and-shift migration is a different competency from a refactor-to-cloud-native. We surface candidates by migration path — including the engineers who have been through the difficult ones and learned where the bodies are buried.
03
Modern cloud engineering is half infrastructure, half cost. We staff FinOps practitioners who can read a cost-and-usage report, model a reservation portfolio, and pair commercial governance with engineering work — closing the gap between platform team and finance.
04
Every cloud engineering placement clears a security-fluency check: IAM design, secrets management, encryption (KMS/Cloud KMS/Key Vault), network segmentation, audit logging. Cloud is a security boundary, and we hire accordingly.
What we screen for
Our cloud-engineering recruiters hold infrastructure, SRE, or cloud-architect backgrounds themselves. Screening closes before submission and includes:
Engagement-model fit
Direct hires and senior contract engineers engage through Strategic Workforce Staffing. For defined-outcome cloud migrations, modernisation programmes, or platform build-outs, Managed Solutions (SOW) is the right model — fixed scope, milestone-based acceptance, our risk on substitution.
