DevOps in 2026 is infrastructure-as-code, prompt-driven runbooks, and AI-assisted incident response. The strongest engineers are also developers, they ship internal platforms (IDPs) so product engineers can self-serve deploys, secrets, and observability without a ticket queue.

Cadence DevOps engineers are filtered for AWS/GCP/Azure depth + Kubernetes fluency + actual on-call experience. Most DevOps bookings start at Senior ($1,500/wk); Lead ($2,000/wk) for migrations or platform-from-scratch work.

We're matching devops engineers to bookings every week. Submit a request and we'll surface a shortlist within hours.

How hiring works on Cadence.

How fast can I hire a DevOps engineer on Cadence?
You can have a 30-min intro call within hours and a working engineer in 48 hours via the free trial. The booking → shortlist → intro calls → trial flow runs in under a day end-to-end.
What does a DevOps engineer cost on Cadence?
Weekly tiers: junior $500, mid $1,000, senior $1,500, lead $2,000. Engineers self-select their tier based on capability; we honor it. You see the rate before you book, no negotiation.
What happens if the engineer isn't a fit?
Mid-trial (first 48 hours): release with one click, no charge. Post-trial: hit "Replace at week-end", they wrap by Friday and we shortlist 4 new engineers Monday.
Are these engineers actually AI-native?
Every engineer passes a voice interview specifically scoring AI-native fluency: Cursor / Claude / Copilot use, prompt-as-spec discipline, verification habits, multi-step prompt ladders. The 50/100 threshold filters generalists out.
Do I sign a contract?
No long-term contract. Stripe-style weekly subscription, cancel any week. Standard SaaS-style terms apply; engineers are independent contractors via Cadence so IP belongs to your company.
