DevOps Engineersfor your infrastructure and deployments
Delivery from nearshore and offshore
Deployments take too long, infrastructure grows faster than the platform team, and every change depends on the same two people. At the same time, several initiatives run alongside day-to-day business.
Delvera provides vetted mid-level and senior DevOps engineers with experience in the tools you use. Ready to start in 14 days, coordinated from Munich.
For companies and IT service providers with ongoing infrastructure work, skill gaps in the platform team or critical release dates.
- 14 days
- to project start after your approval
- 72 hrs
- to 3-5 concrete proposals
- 5 areas
- Products from Kubernetes to Grafana
- Mid + Senior
- no junior profiles
When external DevOps engineers make sense
For long-term core roles, your own recruiting remains the right path. External DevOps engineers help when platform, pipelines or operations have to move forward before an internal hire is realistic.
Building a Kubernetes platform
Container workloads are to run on Kubernetes or OpenShift, and internal experience to build and run it is missing.
Infrastructure as code
Manual configuration is to be replaced by Terraform or Ansible so environments become reproducible.
Faster CI/CD
Releases depend on manual steps. Pipelines and GitOps are to make deployments reliable and faster.
Monitoring and reliability
Alerting and observability are to be built, and the internal team is tied up in daily operations.
Platforms and products
Select an area. Further tools by agreement, and for specialised needs we search specifically.
K8s
Kubernetes and OpenShift
Build, run and secure container platforms in the cloud or on premises.
- Kubernetes
- Red Hat OpenShift
- AKS, EKS and GKE
- Helm
Nearshore or offshore?
Both can be combined in one setup. We agree on the right model before the project starts.
| Criterion | Nearshore | Offshore |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Platform architecture and close alignment with development teams and operations | Clearly specified pipeline, IaC and automation tasks |
| Typical tasks | Kubernetes platform design, GitOps adoption, operating concepts | Terraform modules, pipeline delivery, monitoring dashboards |
| Working hours | Compatible with German business hours | Compatible with German business hours |
| Typical regions | Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Portugal, Croatia, Ukraine | Vietnam, India, Indonesia |
| Contract partner | Delvera GmbH, Munich | Delvera GmbH, Munich |

Partner and profile check
In DevOps, what counts is whether someone has already carried a platform in production. A certificate alone does not show that.
We distinguish between tool experience and relevant project experience. Profiles are matched against your specific context: target picture, tech stack, project phase, communication needs, seniority and availability.
- Operations experience with comparable platforms
- Technology depth in the relevant stack
- Seniority in the specific project context
- Experience with DACH clients, mid-market and enterprise
- Communication quality and reliability
- Availability and a realistic start plan
Typical engagements
Typical starting points, not specific client references.
Kubernetes platform for several teams
Starting point
Several development teams are to move to a shared platform, and internal Kubernetes experience is missing.
Setup
Senior DevOps engineer with platform experience, complemented by a mid-level engineer.
Terraform instead of manual work
Starting point
Environments are maintained by hand, and every change introduces errors.
Setup
DevOps engineer with Terraform experience, deployed for the project.
Monitoring before go-live
Starting point
An important system goes live, and alerting and dashboards are missing.
Setup
DevOps engineer with Prometheus and Grafana experience for build-out and handover.

Frequently asked questions about DevOps engineers
How quickly can a DevOps engineer start?
Within 14 days of your approval. We present concrete proposals within 72 hours, depending on tools, seniority and availability.
Which tools do your DevOps engineers work with?
Kubernetes and OpenShift, Terraform and Ansible, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, Argo CD and Flux, and Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry. Further tools by agreement.
Who is my contract partner?
Your contract partner is Delvera GmbH in Munich. The engagement is coordinated through Delvera instead of you managing several contracts with international partners.
Who steers the project after the start?
Technical steering and acceptance stay with you. Delvera remains your central point of contact for alignment, communication, change requests and escalation.
What happens if the fit is not right?
If the technical or communication fit is not right, we first identify the cause together with you and the specialist and agree on concrete improvement measures. If there is no reliable improvement within two weeks, we initiate a replacement.
