Cloud Employee

Cloud Employee, the engineering-led staff augmentation firm, was founded in 2014. It is a privately-owned software development provider, US-headquartered with group entities in the UK and Australia, and on-the-ground delivery operations across the Philippines, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

It has grown to over 300 engineers deployed globally, supported by around 100 staff across HR, recruitment, internal senior engineers, and customer success.

Cloud Employee provides technically vetted, background-checked software engineers with skills across all major software development technologies. Every developer is assessed through live coding sessions with senior engineers before reaching a client. Cloud Employee has serviced hundreds of startups, SMEs, and large corporations.

Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, Cloud Employee gives clients a gateway to an international engineering workforce without the cost of physical office space. Its fulfillment regions span the Philippines, Latin America (Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia), and Eastern Europe (Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Poland), with employment entities and support staff in each region.

Cloud Employee offers several on-demand, engineering-led services:

• IT Staff Augmentation. Get two pre-vetted profiles matched within 7 days, each interviewed and assessed by senior engineers — not recruiters — through live coding sessions before reaching you. Developers embed directly into your team, stack, and sprint rhythm as dedicated, full-time members.
• AI engineers. Access engineers experienced in building and deploying production AI systems, from machine learning models to LLM-powered applications and AI-driven product features.
• Data engineers. Bring on specialists who design, build, and maintain data pipelines, warehousing, and infrastructure to turn raw data into a reliable foundation for analytics and AI.
• UX. From designing new interfaces for apps and websites to building prototypes and wireframes, Cloud Employee’s designers help you stand out with engaging, user-friendly experiences.
• Mobile engineers. Outsource native or cross-platform mobile app development to engineers vetted for real-world delivery across iOS and Android.
• Project delivery model. A local fractional CTO paired with global engineering teams — combining senior, on-the-ground technical leadership with the scale and cost advantage of distributed delivery.
• Fractional CTOs. Senior technology leaders based in the US, UK, and Australia provide strategic direction, architectural oversight, and hands-on guidance, aligned to your timezone.

Cloud Employee’s pricing

Cloud Employee offers downloadable pricing guides on their website for IT services. A contact form is required before the pricing sheet is available for download. For other engagements, Cloud Employee requests that the prospective client contact them directly.

Cloud Employee is built and run by engineers: every developer is technically vetted by senior engineers through live coding assessments – not HR generalists – before being shortlisted. Clients hand-select from a pre-vetted shortlist and typically hire within two interviews, saving 100+ hours of recruitment time per hire.

Developers work as dedicated, full-time, embedded members of one client’s team – inside their stack, sprint rhythm, and communication channels – with no project middle-layer.

A structured developer retention and growth ecosystem, including L&D allowances of $1000 per annum, internal peer forums, and community events, attracts top-percentile engineers and keeps them retained and growing. Multi-region delivery across the Philippines, Latin America, and Eastern Europe is offered under one partner, with timezone alignment for US, UK, and Australian clients.
