The hardest problem in cloud engineering is not technology — it is talent. The demand for experienced Kubernetes engineers, SRE specialists, and cloud architects far exceeds supply, and the cost of a bad hire in a senior infrastructure role can set a project back by months. CloudForge solves this with a rigorous 4-stage vetting pipeline. Whether you need embedded engineers working as part of your team, fully managed cloud operations, or help building your own engineering capability through our recruiting and vetting process, we deliver the right people in the right timeframe.
Our embedded engineers are not contractors who need three months of onboarding. They arrive with deep expertise in your specific technology stack, follow your team processes from day one, and are deployed within five business days of requirements sign-off. Each engineer has passed our 4-stage technical assessment and ranks in the top 1.79% acceptance rate, covering technical depth, system design, communication, and cultural alignment. We match engineers not just on skills but on working style, timezone, and team dynamics.
For organisations that need operational coverage without building a full internal team, our Managed Cloud Operations service provides 24/7 infrastructure monitoring, incident response, and platform maintenance. And for companies building their own cloud engineering teams, our Recruiting & Vetting service gives you access to the same four-stage pipeline we use internally — ensuring every hire meets the bar that has earned us a 97 percent client retention rate.
Top 1.79% engineers across 5 disciplines, 5-day deployment
Our embedded engineers integrate directly into your team, attending standups, participating in code reviews, and contributing to sprint planning. They bring deep expertise in Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and SRE practices while adapting to your existing workflows and tooling.
24/7 managed infrastructure operations
Round-the-clock infrastructure monitoring, automated incident response, and proactive platform maintenance. Our managed operations team handles patching, scaling, cost optimisation, and compliance monitoring so your engineers can focus on building product.
