What we are strongest at

DevOps and system administration

This is the group's home discipline, not a line added to look complete. Our sister company is an AWS Advanced Partner and has run this work for its own clients for years — the engineers we place are the ones already trusted with production we are accountable for.

India's timezone helps here in a way it does not elsewhere. A maintenance window that would be an overnight call-out for your team lands inside an ordinary working day for ours, so patching, upgrades and restarts happen while someone is awake and watching.

DevOps and platform engineering System administration

Pipelines and releases

Deploys that are fast, repeatable and reversible — and a rollback you have actually tested.

Kubernetes and cloud estate

Clusters, landing zones, IAM and networking built so an auditor and a stranger can both follow them.

Patching, backups, monitoring

Windows that happen, restores that are tested on a schedule, alerts with thresholds someone chose.

Cost, reported monthly

Rightsizing, Graviton, Spot and lifecycle policies, with the saving set against what the seat costs.

Two kinds of client

Companies that need engineers

You have budget and a role you cannot fill locally inside four months. We place a vetted engineer into your team, your repository and your standups, under your technical lead. You interview the shortlist before anyone starts, and we carry the employment and the replacement risk.

Engineers, QA, DevOps and data, across every stack we staff
One engineer, or a pod with our own delivery lead
Fixed-scope projects where the work has a definable end

Browse roles we staff

Staffing firms that need an offshore partner

You keep the client relationship and the close; we run the sourcing, screening, coordination and back office on your ATS, in your brand, on your clock. Per dedicated seat or per qualified submission, with candidate ownership and non-circumvention written in both directions.

Recruiting desks on Ceipal, JobDiva, Bullhorn or your own system
US tax terms and visa statuses understood, not learned on your accounts
Timesheets, invoicing, AR and VMS portal administration

Ways to buy

Four shapes, and we will tell you which one your brief is.

Most vendors sell whichever shape is most profitable for them. The honest answer is usually the cheaper one, so it is worth asking before you commit to a team.

DevOps and platform engineering: Pipelines, clusters, infrastructure as code and the telemetry that turns an outage into a five-minute diagnosis.; Per engineer monthly, or fixed-scope for a defined piece of work
System administration and server management: Someone whose job is that the servers are patched, backed up, monitored and boring.; Per administrator monthly, or per managed estate with an agreed response time
IT staff augmentation: Named engineers inside your team, reporting to your leads, working your hours.; Per engineer, monthly, with 30 days' notice
Dedicated development team: A squad with its own lead, bought as monthly capacity rather than as a row of hourly timesheets.; One monthly capacity fee for the pod
Offshore software development: Build capacity in India, run to the security and reporting standard your auditors expect.; Per engineer monthly, or a pod fee, or fixed scope
IT outsourcing: Hand over a function — maintenance, QA, cloud operations, support — with the service level written down.; Monthly service fee against an agreed scope and service level

Rates

Published rate bands, by experience and market.

A senior rate buys a senior engineer. Publishing the bands is how you check that without taking our word for it, and how you compare us against a local hire before the first call.

All-inclusive and indicative, shown so you can compare us against a local hire. Monthly figures assume 160 hours a month and the same for the day-rate markets, so the two always reconcile. Engagements are contracted as a monthly capacity fee or a fixed-scope deliverable, with our own delivery lead accountable for the outcome — see engagement models. There is no setup fee, no recruitment fee and no management surcharge.

How we vet

We accept roughly one engineer in 12.

A high acceptance rate means a low bar, so the ratio is the honest thing to publish. Every shortlist then goes through your own interview before anyone starts — we have never met a client who regretted that step.

Engineer retention: 86%
Average client relationship: 19 months

The whole screening process

Stage 1CV and experience screen against the role brief
Stage 2Technical assessment on the actual stack, reviewed by an engineer who works in it
Stage 3Live pair-programming or systems interview
Stage 4Communication and overlap-fit interview conducted in the client's working hours
Stage 5Reference and identity verification

Security and compliance

Your security review is a conversation, not a six-week delay.

Skydream Digital holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Our sister company PraxisQ Consulting runs ISO and SOC programmes for other firms, and Techtweek Infotech is an AWS Advanced Partner. The questionnaire your CISO sends is the kind of document this group writes for a living.

Practically, that means least-privilege access under your own identity provider, no production data on developer machines, named sub-processors, and a written data processing agreement with transfer terms for UK, EU, Australian and Canadian data.
