New to Nearwork?

Vetted cloud & devops talent — sourced, employed and managed for you.

Nearwork is a managed remote-staffing partner. We help US and Canadian companies hire English-fluent talent from Colombia without the cost, risk or overhead of doing it alone.

The problem

Hiring a great engineer is slow, costly and risky.

A US hire is expensive and takes months. Going remote on your own means sifting résumés, chasing contractors, running payroll across borders and hoping the person actually works out.

The solution

One partner that sources, vets and runs the role.

We source and rigorously assess Cloud & DevOps talent in Colombia, then employ, payroll and manage them for you. You get a proven engineer on your team in about two weeks, at roughly half the US cost — fully managed.

Talent, ready now

Deep Cloud & DevOps talent, already here.

Years of nearshore platform work built a bench of engineers who run real cloud infrastructure for US companies, in US time zones.

  • Platform, SRE, CI/CD and cloud infrastructure engineers
  • On-call-capable overlap with US business hours
  • Tested on real infra, incident and pipeline scenarios
  • Fluent in AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform and observability

How we vet

We assess what makes cloud & devops talent actually good.

Every engineer is scored on the skills that matter for the role — so you hire on evidence, not a résumé.

Cloud infrastructure

95 / 100

Designs and runs resilient infra on AWS, GCP or Azure with real cost sense.

CI/CD & automation

93 / 100

Builds pipelines and automation that make deploys boring — the goal.

Reliability & incident response

92 / 100

Debugs production calmly, writes the postmortem and prevents the repeat.

Security & compliance

90 / 100

Bakes least-privilege, secrets hygiene and audit trails in by default.

English & communication

95 / 100

C1: clear in incidents, runbooks and cross-team coordination.

IaC discipline

91 / 100

Everything as code in Terraform — reviewable, repeatable, documented.

Every score comes with evidence — assessment recordings, references and a DISC profile in your portal.
