Cloud engineer
What is a Cloud engineer?
Cloud Engineers are responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining scalable cloud solutions. They form the backbone of any modern IT infrastructure and create a solid foundation for both DevOps and SRE activities.
What does a Cloud engineer do?
A cloud engineer ensures the creation of scalable and efficient cloud infrastructures. They use tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation en Azure Resource Manager to define infrastructure as code, improving automation and consistency. There are different types of Cloud engineers. For example, an AWS Cloud engineer focuses specifically on Amazon Web Services (AWS). They build and manage secure and efficient cloud solutions using AWS services such as EC2, S3, and RDS. An Azure Cloud engineer works with Microsoft Azure to design and implement cloud solutions. They use tools like Azure DevOps and Azure Resource Manager to create scalable and reliable solutions that meet the needs of your organization.
DevOps
What is DevOps?
DevOps is a cultural and professional movement that promotes collaboration and communication between software development and operations teams. The goal is to deliver software faster and more reliably by using automation and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD).
What does a DevOps engineer do?
DevOps engineers play a crucial role in improving the overall flexibility and stability of IT environments. DevOps engineers automate and streamline processes and bridge the gap between development and operations. With tools like Jenkins, Travis CI and GitLab CI/CD they optimize the software delivery process and promote collaboration between development, operations, and QA teams.
What is the difference between Agile and DevOps?
DevOps and Agile are both aimed at improving the software development process. However, Agile focuses more on the iterative and incremental development process, while DevOps promotes collaboration between development and operations through automation and continuous delivery
SRE
Wat is SRE?
SRE is short for Site Reliability Engineering. It is a discipline that focuses on the reliability and availability of software applications. SRE Engineers build on the foundations laid by Cloud Engineers and DevOps specialists. SREs combine software development and IT operations to make and keep systems scalable and reliable.
What does a SRE engineer do?
SREs monitor and manage the environment set up by DevOps Engineers. They ensure that applications meet performance requirements and strive for maximum uptime and minimum downtime by using monitoring and operational processes.
What is the difference between SRE en DevOps?
The difference between SRE and DevOps lies in their focus: while DevOps focuses on the collaboration and integration of development and operations, SRE’s emphasis is on maintaining the reliability of systems through operational tasks and monitoring.
Why hire an engineer at SharpMinds?
Access to talent
The number of available engineers is limited. That is why lots of companies struggle to hire a good engineer. We, however, work with remote nearshore engineers to find the right people. This way, we can offer a larger talent pool and increase the chances of finding an engineer who fits your specific needs. To achieve this, we operate from our offices in Portugal, Bosnia Herzegovina, and Ukraine. The major advantage of this approach is the minimal time difference. By working within a maximum time difference of one hour, communication lines remain short, allowing you to develop your software without interruption.

Longterm parnership
Focus on retention
Our responsibilities do not end with recruitment. We also take care of all HR-related matters. This ensures that engineers remain satisfied, motivated, and loyal. By doing so, you can hire and retain an engineer for the long term. We achieve this by working with an on-site Project Manager. They act as your eyes and ears remotely, conducting interim evaluations and ensuring the well-being of both the engineer and you as the client. They provide support through English lessons, optimal workspaces, team outings, and attractive secondary benefits to ensure the well-being and success of your project.
Our way of working
Creating a pleasant and challenging work environment for our engineers is central to SharpMinds. This approach not only leads to higher retention but also to better performance. Below, we present our successful methodology in detail.
Introduction
In our first contact we focus on investigating the suitability of our solutions for your issue and organization. We take into account your current development phase, future plans and the associated requirements.
Teamprofile
If using external engineer seems to be the right solution, we will organize a technical meeting. During this meeting we discuss the existing development team and assess which profiles are needed to complement the team.
Recruitment & intake
Based on the team profile drawn up and the vacancy, we look for suitable candidates. These candidates are invited for an intake interview, in which we assess whether they have the necessary soft skills and hard skills. For soft skills, for example, we check whether the candidates fit within the corporate culture of your organization. If we see a suitable match, we will introduce the candidates to you.
Application
When we present our candidates, it is then up to you to decide whether to hire the engineers. If this is the case, the candidates can go through the regular application procedure.
