Remote DevOps expertise for Ithaca tech teams and startups
For your Ithaca business.
Trusted by companies across the USA
An Ithaca-based health tech startup recently realized their AWS bill was spiraling out of control after they moved to a microservices architecture. Every new service spun up another cluster of EC2 instances, and their Kubernetes costs were eating into their runway faster than their engineering team could optimize them. When they posted a job for a full-time DevOps engineer in Ithaca, they only received two qualified applicants, but after months of interviews, the right hire kept ghosting them. The problem wasn’t the role. It was the 30% turnover rate in Ithaca’s competitive tech market where local talent jumps to remote-first companies offering better pay and flexibility.
We’ve hired DevOps engineers for businesses in Ithaca across industries like biotech, higher education, and local government IT teams. In each case, the company needed someone who could hit the ground running with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes, not someone who had to learn the tech stack on the job. One Ithaca manufacturer needed to migrate from on-prem VMs to AWS ECS within six weeks to comply with new FDA regulations. They hired a DevOps engineer from New York City who didn’t show up for the first week, and by week three, the migration was already behind schedule. A remote DevOps engineer based in India, working during Ithaca business hours, delivered the migration ahead of schedule and under budget by automating the entire process with Terraform and CI/CD pipelines.
The issue isn’t that Ithaca lacks tech talent. It’s that local candidates often prioritize stability and location over salary when choosing between Ithaca companies and remote roles. A DevOps engineer in Ithaca might demand $140,000 for a hybrid role, but a remote role at an Ithaca-based biotech firm can source the same expertise from a senior engineer in India for $85,000 while delivering higher uptime and faster deployments. The key difference is process: a dedicated remote DevOps engineer starts contributing on day one with a fully automated infrastructure pipeline, while a local hire spends the first month setting up their laptop.
The time zone difference is actually an advantage. When your DevOps engineer in India starts their day at 9 AM IST (10:30 PM EST), they’re reviewing the previous night’s server logs and pushing fixes before most Ithaca teams even open Slack. Your team wakes up to a stable environment with incident reports already analyzed and next steps documented. Instead of waiting for a local hire to become available or dealing with turnover, you get a senior engineer embedded in your workflow from day one.
Since 2015, we’ve placed DevOps engineers with US companies across 20+ countries. Every developer we assign owns the infrastructure they build, no third-party dependencies, no hidden costs. Your AWS bill stays optimized because we audit it monthly, not quarterly.
Unlike freelance platforms where you pay by the hour with unclear scope, you get a single DevOps engineer embedded in your team for 160 hours per month. They attend your standups, document every change in GitHub, and work exclusively on your infrastructure, not juggling multiple clients.
Our DevOps engineers don’t just set up servers. They deploy a fully automated CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions, containerize your applications with Docker, and orchestrate deployments with Kubernetes, all documented in Terraform so your stack is reproducible. One Ithaca edtech client went from manual deployments to zero-downtime releases within 30 days.
All code, configurations, and infrastructure-as-code belong to you from day one. No shared accounts, no proprietary tooling, just clean, transferable Terraform modules and Kubernetes manifests. If you decide to bring the role in-house later, your team already has the documentation and can pick up where we left off.
Your DevOps engineer starts their day at 9 AM IST, which aligns with 10:30 PM EST. They handle late-night incidents, review logs, and push fixes before your Ithaca team arrives. No more waiting for a local hire who might not show up, or worse, accept the job and resign two weeks later.
You pay a flat monthly fee for the DevOps engineer’s time, no surprise AWS overages from unoptimized deployments, no extra charges for on-call support, no hourly billing sneaking up when the project runs late. One price, one engineer, one predictable bill.
Your DevOps engineer is dedicated to your team 40 hours per week. They attend your standups, receive direct Slack access, and work exclusively on your infrastructure, no juggling multiple clients or projects.
For teams that need DevOps support but not a full-time hire, our part-time model gives you 20 hours per week of senior-level expertise. Common for Ithaca startups scaling their cloud infrastructure without the cost of a full-time hire.
Need occasional DevOps help? Our hourly model lets you book time as needed for specific tasks like Kubernetes cluster optimization, Terraform refactoring, or incident response, billed in 15-minute increments with no minimum.
For larger Ithaca-based projects, you can hire a dedicated DevOps team of 2-3 engineers. Common for biotech companies managing regulated environments or universities handling multiple research projects with strict uptime requirements.
We start with a 30-minute call to understand your infrastructure, pain points, and goals. Your DevOps engineer will review your current AWS setup, Kubernetes clusters, and CI/CD pipelines, no sales pitch, just a direct assessment of what’s working and what’s not.
Within 48 hours, we propose a DevOps engineer whose expertise aligns with your stack. You interview them live on Zoom, ask technical questions, and confirm the match. Once approved, we lock in your monthly rate and start the onboarding process.
Your DevOps engineer begins with a full infrastructure audit. They document every service, review your Terraform modules, and set up automated monitoring. At the end of the first week, you receive a 15-minute Loom video walking through their findings and recommended next steps.
Your DevOps engineer presents a 2-week sprint plan focused on the highest-impact improvements. They prioritize tasks based on your business needs, whether that’s reducing AWS costs, improving Kubernetes cluster stability, or automating disaster recovery. You see progress every two weeks with a working demo.
Every Monday, you receive a written report detailing the previous week’s work, upcoming tasks, and any blockers. Your DevOps engineer is available during your core hours via Slack and attends your weekly standups, no time zone surprises, just consistent communication.
"Ritik and his team at Aneri Developers are top notch! We have been working together for almost 2+ years now and the project continues to evolve exactly how I had envisioned it. His communication is amazing and his attention to detail is even better! The mobile app and back office that we have created has freed up so much of my day to day while also giving my clients much better transparency and service in return too.
