Specialist DevOps Staffing
DevOps Recruitment Agency for US Technology Teams
As engineering organizations push toward faster delivery, greater automation, and more resilient systems, the pressure to hire the right DevOps talent has never been higher. Franklin Fitch is a specialist DevOps recruitment agency with deep roots in the infrastructure and cloud market, connecting high-performing engineers and automation specialists with the organizations that need them most.
Our DevOps Recruitment Expertise
DevOps sits at the intersection of culture, tooling, and engineering practice, and hiring in this space requires more than a keyword search. As a dedicated recruiting agency, our consultants understand the nuances of the roles they recruit for, from the pipelines and platforms engineers build daily to the cross-functional collaboration that makes DevOps work.
We focus our DevOps staffing efforts across the areas of highest demand: CI/CD pipeline design and tooling, container orchestration with Kubernetes and Docker, infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible, cloud automation across AWS, Azure, and GCP, monitoring and observability platforms, configuration and provisioning, source code management, and scripting.
Our DevOps recruiters take the time to understand how your engineering organisation operates, your stack, your release cadence, and your team structure before presenting candidates. That means shortlists built around genuine fit, not just matching job titles to resumes.
DevOps Hiring: What the Market Looks Like
Demand for DevOps talent continues to outpace supply nationwide. Platform engineering has emerged as one of the fastest-growing disciplines, as organizations look to build internal developer platforms that reduce cognitive load and accelerate delivery. At the same time, the integration of AI into development workflows is creating new expectations for DevOps professionals, including familiarity with LLMOps, model deployment pipelines, and AI-assisted automation.
For DevOps headhunters operating in this market, the challenge isn't finding candidates; it's finding engineers who combine hands-on platform expertise with the collaborative mindset that makes DevOps culture stick. That's where specialist knowledge makes all the difference.
Why Work with a Specialist DevOps Recruiter
There are plenty of DevOps recruitment agencies in the US market. Few combine genuine technical fluency with a track record of placing talent at every level of the discipline.
Technical Fluency That Builds Credibility
We won't conflate a DevOps engineer with a platform engineer, or send you a sysadmin with a Terraform line on their resume. Our DevOps staffing specialists understand the distinctions that matter, and screen accordingly.
Contract & Permanent Recruitment
Whether you need an experienced contractor to unblock a migration or a permanent hire to own your platform roadmap, our DevOps staffing team delivers.
Selective Shortlists That Save Time
As a specialist DevOps recruiting agency, we'd rather present three candidates worth interviewing than ten that fit the keywords. Our shortlists reflect that.
We Stay Invested After the Hire
DevOps hires often land in complex environments: new tooling, shifting priorities, evolving team structures. Our DevOps recruiters stay close through onboarding and beyond, because a placement that doesn't stick isn't a placement worth making.
Your Next DevOps Role Starts Here
If you're a DevOps engineer looking for your next contract or a platform lead seeking a permanent position that matches your ambitions, our DevOps recruiters work with you to find opportunities that align with your skills, your goals, and the kind of environment where you'll do your best work.
Our clients are investing heavily in platform engineering, cloud automation, and AI-driven infrastructure across the US. Demand is strongest in established tech hubs like New York, San Francisco, Austin, Seattle, and Boston, and growing fast in markets like Denver, Raleigh, and Atlanta, where DevOps and platform teams are scaling quickly, and competition for talent is still catching up.
Through our network, you'll get access to roles that aren't posted publicly, including opportunities at companies building the kind of infrastructure problems worth solving.

Your Questions, Answered
What does a DevOps recruiter look for in candidates?
A specialist DevOps recruiter looks beyond certifications and keywords to assess practical experience with cloud platforms, automation tooling, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, observability, and cross-functional collaboration. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are also critical in DevOps hiring.
What is platform engineering recruitment?
Platform engineering recruitment focuses on hiring engineers who build and maintain internal developer platforms, automation frameworks, and scalable engineering infrastructure. Platform engineers play a critical role in improving developer productivity and accelerating software delivery.
What is the difference between DevOps and SRE recruitment?
DevOps recruitment generally focuses on automation, deployment pipelines, and engineering collaboration, while Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) recruitment centers more heavily on reliability, observability, incident response, scalability, and system performance. Many organizations hire across both disciplines simultaneously.
Do you recruit for contract DevOps roles?
Yes. Franklin Fitch supports both contract and permanent DevOps recruitment across the US. We help organizations hire contractors for cloud migrations, platform modernization, CI/CD implementation, infrastructure automation, and urgent transformation projects.
