Hire DevOps Engineer from Malaysia with FastLaneRecruit
Hiring DevOps engineers in the U.S. is costly and time-consuming but you still need top-tier talent to support your infrastructure, CI/CD, and cloud architecture. That’s where FastLaneRecruit comes in. We help U.S.-based startups, SaaS companies, and mid-sized enterprises build dedicated, full-time offshore DevOps teams in Malaysia. You get highly skilled engineers who work U.S. hours, follow your workflows, and deliver on your DevOps strategy without the overhead of hiring locally. Our offshore hiring model gives you long-term engineering support while maintaining control, security, and code quality all for up to 70% less than hiring in-house in the U.S.
Why Malaysian DevOps Engineers Stand Out
Build a Full-Time DevOps Team for U.S. Operations
Malaysia has become Southeast Asia’s rising tech hub, with thousands of DevOps professionals trained in AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Jenkins, Terraform, and more. With excellent English skills, a Western-aligned work ethic, and familiarity with agile practices, Malaysian engineers are ready to integrate with U.S. teams.
Exceptional Engineering Talent at a Fraction of the Cost
Malaysia offers access to a deep pool of certified engineers at 60–70% lower salary rates compared to the U.S. Without compromising on quality, businesses can scale their teams affordably while maintaining the speed, security, and reliability demanded by modern DevOps environments.
Top Certifications & Communication Skills
Most engineers we place hold certifications like: AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, Docker Certified Associate, Kubernetes Administrator (CKA). They communicate clearly in English and adapt quickly to remote-first environments and U.S. agile workflows.
Comprehensive DevOps Expertise
Malaysian DevOps engineers support full-stack infrastructure and release management: CI/CD pipeline architecture, Cloud infrastructure management (AWS, GCP, Azure), IaC with Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, Docker & Kubernetes orchestration, Monitoring & logging (Grafana, ELK, Prometheus), DevSecOps implementation for security & compliance and GitOps & automated deployment strategies.
Trusted by U.S. Enterprises
FastLaneRecruit supports multiple U.S.-based companies — from SaaS startups to mid-sized enterprises — with building high-performing DevOps teams in Malaysia. Clients value the technical depth, cost efficiency, and long-term reliability our Malaysian engineers bring to their U.S. operations.
Compliant Hiring Without the Paperwork
You don’t need to set up an entity in Malaysia. We handle all hiring, payroll, and compliance through our Employer-of-Record (EOR) platform, so you get talent fast — with zero red tape.
Outsourced DevOps Engineers Can Perform a Full Range of Cloud- & Infrastructure-Automation Tasks
By outsourcing DevOps to Malaysia, you gain access to skilled professionals who ensure your U.S-based development and operations teams are always deployment-ready.
CI/CD Pipeline Automation
Design and manage automated deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps, supporting blue-green and canary deployments for high-availability production releases.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Build and maintain modular infrastructure using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and Helm, ensuring version control, peer-reviewed code, and audit-ready configurations.
Kubernetes & Container Operations
Manage and scale containerized workloads on Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, or Google GKE. Implement auto-scaling, service meshes (Istio/Linkerd), ingress controllers, and secure namespaces.
Security & Compliance Automation
Enforce U.S.-centric compliance frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, and NIST 800-53 using policy-as-code tools (OPA, Sentinel) and automated configuration drift detection.
Monitoring, Logging & Incident Response
Deploy observability stacks with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki. Set up alerting pipelines and SRE-grade incident response using PagerDuty, Opsgenie, and SLIs/SLOs.
Cloud Cost Optimization
Use tools like AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Advisor, and GCP Recommender to implement instance right-sizing, spot instance pools, and budget alerts — ensuring ROI on cloud spend.
Disaster Recovery & Resilience Engineering
Architect and test multi-region failover strategies, RTO/RPO-compliant backup systems, and run chaos engineering experiments using tools like Gremlin or Litmus.
DevOps Toolchain Integration
Seamlessly connect GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Confluence, Slack, and other platforms to create secure, scalable DevSecOps pipelines tailored to your team’s workflow.
