Cloud Engineer
Fintech · Western Europe · Remote · CET
Outsource Model
The Situation
A fintech company required focused cloud expertise as infrastructure usage increased across its AWS production environment.
The objective was to improve optimisation discipline and infrastructure visibility without expanding permanent DevOps headcount.
The role required experience with AWS cost management, infrastructure-as-code maintenance, and network configuration awareness.
Operational Scope
• Dedicated Nigeria-based cloud engineer
• Monthly managed engagement under EOR
• Defined optimisation and reporting cycles
• Coordination with internal DevOps team
• Rolling contract structure
Engagement Model
The Outsource structure introduced targeted cloud expertise under a stable monthly agreement, aligned with internal DevOps leadership.
This allowed the company to address optimisation needs without establishing an additional internal position.
Timeline
Week 1: Scope clarification
Week 2: Shortlist and interviews
Week 4: Onboarding completed
Month 2: First optimisation cycle review
Outcome
Infrastructure performance remained stable while cost visibility and optimisation discipline improved during the first review cycle.
The internal team gained sustained cloud capacity without modifying organisationalstructure.
The engagement maintained a materially lower cost base than local senior cloud hiring and offered a measurable advantage over conventional offshore alternatives.
Key Metrics
Shortlist: 12 days
Onboard: 4 weeks
Hires: 1
Cost vs Local: ~55–60% lower
