Senior engineers, when and where you need them

Remote hands gives you senior cloud engineers as a precise extension of your own team. If you have already invested in good people, our engineers slot in next to them. If you are struggling to hire or retain DevOps or cloud talent, remote hands: or our managed public cloud service: may be the right answer.

With deep experience on AWS and Azure, and a wider team of cloud, security, and operations engineers behind every assignment, the goal is the same: complement and support your team and your delivery process where it matters most.

What you get

  • AWS and Azure: certified, hands-on engineers in production every day.
  • Certified cloud engineers: AWS, Azure, Kubernetes (CKA, CKAD) credentials.
  • Wider Factory team: an assignment is never one person; cloud, security, and operations expertise sits behind every engineer.
  • Fits an agile delivery model: your stand-ups, your tools, your workflow.
Our approach

How a remote-hands assignment runs

A short scoping call, a deliberate match, and an engineer who is productive from week one.

Scope and match

We start with a short call about scope, technologies, and the team. Then we match an engineer whose background actually fits: not whoever happens to be on the bench.

Embed

The engineer joins your stand-ups, uses your tools, and follows your delivery flow. They are accountable to your tech lead day-to-day: not to a faraway consultancy PM.

Backed

Behind the engineer is the wider Factory team: cloud architects, security, operations: reachable for sparring, escalation, and second opinions.

Why The Factory

Engineers, not body-shop placements

Senior people only

You get certified, production-experienced engineers: not a graduate trying to learn on your runtime.

Vetted and certified

ISO 9001, ISO 27001, NEN 4400-1 certified company. Background-checked, clearance-ready when you need it.

Team behind every engineer

If a problem grows beyond one person, the wider Factory team is one Slack message away.

Behind every assignment

The same engineers stay on the work.

  • Documented decisions. Architecture, trade-offs, and runbooks live in the same repository as the code: reviewable on day one and on day 200.
  • Monthly WTF sessions. Engineers walk through customer work, technical deep-dives, experiments, and what didn’t work. What The Faqtory!: our standing internal review.
  • Standing learning investment. Active Pluralsight and A Cloud Guru access, certification time, and study agreements where the depth justifies it.

The point isn’t novelty. The point is that two years in, the platform still makes sense to the people running it. Read about our engineering culture
