Offshore cloud talent

Hire offshore Azure engineers

Cloud engineers who have run Azure in production: infrastructure as code, pipelines that actually deploy, and a bill you can explain to your CFO.

Typically 2–4 weeks from first call to an engineer in your standup.

Most Azure problems are not Azure problems. They are the result of infrastructure built by hand in the portal, a deployment pipeline nobody trusts, and a subscription where nobody can say which resource group is costing the most. Fixing that needs an engineer who has operated Azure, not one who has passed the certification.

We place senior cloud engineers who write the Bicep or Terraform, build the Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions pipeline, set up the monitoring that catches problems before your users do, and cut the spend that accumulated while nobody was looking.

What teams hire our Azure engineers for

Migration to Azure

On-premise or another cloud to Azure, planned in stages with a rollback at every step. Landing zone, networking, identity, and data migration handled properly.

Platform and DevOps ownership

Infrastructure as code, environments that match, and pipelines your developers can ship through without asking anyone for permission.

Azure cost optimisation

A read on where the money actually goes, then the right-sizing, reserved capacity, and architectural changes that reduce it without slowing the team down.

Security and compliance hardening

Entra ID, managed identities, network isolation, and Azure Policy guardrails — with the GDPR and EU data residency questions answered in writing.

Hire offshore Azure engineers: common questions

How do you vet offshore Azure engineers?

A senior engineer from our team runs an architecture and troubleshooting interview on real scenarios: designing a landing zone, debugging a failing AKS deployment, reading a cost report. Certifications are a signal, not a substitute.

Can an Azure engineer work alongside our existing developers?

That is the usual shape. The Azure engineer owns infrastructure, pipelines, and monitoring while your product developers keep shipping features — and hands over documented, reproducible infrastructure as code rather than portal clicks.

Can you keep our data in the EU?

Yes. EU data residency is available on request, and our engineers are based in Europe and LATAM under GDPR-compliant contracts with DPAs signed as standard.

How long does it take to hire an offshore engineer?

A dedicated engineer typically lands in 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the stack and seniority. You get a shortlist to interview first — we do not place anyone you have not spoken to.

Who employs the engineer, and how does payment work?

We do. You sign one contract with Elevz and receive one invoice; we handle local employment, payroll, taxes, and compliance in the engineer's country. No entity setup on your side.

Who owns the code our offshore team writes?

You do. Full IP transfer on payment, with no hidden licenses and no lock-in on proprietary tooling. NDAs and DPAs are signed as standard on every engagement.

What timezone do your offshore engineers work in?

Our engineers are based across Europe and LATAM, which overlaps the European working day in full and gives US teams a long morning overlap. Engineers work your hours, attend your standups, and use your tools.

What if the engineer is not the right fit?

Tell us in the first weeks and we replace them at our cost. We would rather absorb a bad match than have you carry it.
