Talent — Cloud Architects & Engineers
Hire cloud engineers who architect for production, not just pass certifications.
Zenaide places pre-vetted cloud architects, cloud engineers, and migration specialists — across AWS, Azure, and GCP — on a contract, contract-to-hire, or permanent basis.
Cloud certifications are easy. Production cloud experience is rare.
Every candidate has AWS certifications. Far fewer have actually designed and operated production cloud infrastructure at scale — managing cost, security, multi-region availability, and compliance in environments where downtime has real consequences.
Zenaide maintains an active pipeline of cloud architects and engineers who have built and operated real cloud infrastructure — not just completed labs. When you need a cloud engineer, we evaluate for architecture thinking, production judgment, and platform depth — not badge count.

How we vet cloud talent.
Architecture assessment
Cloud-native system design evaluation — VPC architecture, multi-region strategies, service selection rationale, and cost modeling.
Platform-specific depth
Hands-on assessment of the candidate's primary cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) — not just certifications, but real production experience.
Migration and modernization scenarios
Real-world migration case evaluation — lift-and-shift vs. re-architecture decisions, data migration strategy, and cutover planning.
Communication and stakeholder skills
Cloud architects interface with engineering, security, finance, and leadership. We assess the ability to translate technical decisions into business language.
