Senior DevOps developers, based in the US, working your hours
CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and reliability work, done by US engineers who make deploys boring.
- Every engineer lives and works in the US
- Works your hours, joins your standups
- NDA and full IP assignment from day one

"NextGen scaled us from 2 to 7 dedicated engineers in under a quarter. Enterprise-grade capacity, zero agency drag."
"Their R&D tax credit workflow platform paid for itself in the first filing season."
"AI-native from day one. Our IRS transcript pipeline runs 24/7 without a human in the loop."
"Property tax appeals used to take weeks. Their comp analysis tooling turned it into hours."
"The AI intake agent handles our tier-1 patient calls with a hand-off cleaner than our old call center."
"POS, inventory, ordering — all unified. We finally have one source of truth across every location."
"The procurement platform paid for itself in the first quarter of use."
"They shipped our matching engine in 6 weeks. Our old team would've taken 6 months."
"Enterprise-grade delivery without the enterprise-agency price tag."
"Their team plugged into our sprint on day one. Zero ramp time."

Sound familiar?
- Hiring a senior DevOps developer full-time is taking months.
- Your DevOps codebase has grown messy and every change breaks something else.
- Offshore hand-offs and time-zone gaps turn one-day fixes into week-long threads.
- You need someone senior enough to make decisions, not just close tickets.

Hire US-based DevOps developers from NextGen Coding Company to join your team on Terraform infrastructure, Kubernetes operations, and CI/CD delivery. The starting point should be the system you run: Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, or workloads that do not need Kubernetes at all. Clarify whether the immediate problem is deployment failures, configuration drift, weak observability, or manual environment setup.
A GitHub Actions pipeline with Argo CD needs different ownership boundaries from a Jenkins estate deploying to virtual machines. Bring your infrastructure repositories, release process, and incident patterns to the scoping conversation, without exposing credentials. Our senior engineers work your hours and attend your standups. Every engineer lives and works in the US, and we do not use offshore subcontractors.
Frequently asked questions
- Do we need a DevOps developer or a site reliability engineer?
- Hire around the backlog rather than the title. Terraform modules, CI/CD pipelines, container builds, and environment provisioning usually point toward DevOps work. Service-level objectives, error budgets, incident response, and capacity planning lean toward site reliability engineering. If the role includes both, clarify production access, operational ownership, and any on-call expectations during the interview.
- What should a Kubernetes developer check before upgrading EKS?
- Begin with the current and target Kubernetes versions, deprecated APIs, and compatibility across add-ons, controllers, and Helm charts. For EKS, review VPC CNI, CoreDNS, kube-proxy, and node upgrade requirements. Test disruption budgets, persistent workloads, and deployment health in a nonproduction environment, with an explicit recovery plan for components that cannot be downgraded.
- How should we assess Terraform experience?
- Ask the candidate to explain remote state, locking, provider version constraints, module interfaces, and importing existing resources. A useful exercise is reviewing a plan that unexpectedly replaces a database or network component. Discuss how they separate environments, detect drift, protect sensitive state, and move resources between modules without triggering unnecessary infrastructure changes.
- Can we improve GitHub Actions security without slowing releases?
- Define the threats and release requirements first. Review workflow token permissions, third-party action pinning, environment approvals, and OpenID Connect federation instead of long-lived cloud keys. Then examine caching, test stages, and artifact promotion. The goal is a traceable release path that preserves appropriate checks, not simply removing gates to make the pipeline faster.
- How does a US-based DevOps engineer join our internal team?
- Engineers work your hours and join your standups; NDA and full IP assignment are signed before code access. Start the technical onboarding with scoped permissions, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and a nonproduction change. If the fit is not right, we bring in a replacement with a proper hand-over of infrastructure context and ongoing work.
- Are your developers really based in the US?
- Yes. Every engineer lives and works in the United States. No offshore subcontracting and no hand-offs to another team. That's written into the contract.
- How fast can someone start?
- Most teams interview matched engineers within a week of the first call. Start dates depend on your interview process.
