How to hire a cloud engineer? Skills to look for, interview questions and more
Hiring a cloud engineer is easy, but hiring the right developer with adequate cloud experience and knowledge is difficult. Companies that wish to develop policies for cloud services, and establish secure cloud infrastructure must hire the best cloud engineers. There are several factors that need to be considered while hiring a high-experienced cloud engineer. This includes experience with database architecture, advanced analytics, ETL, big data, and others.
On the other hand, hiring an experienced cloud engineer with all the required skills is both hard and time-consuming. To ease the effort, Turing offers the best remote pre-vetted cloud engineers at half the price. Turing selects the best remote cloud engineers after testing their expertise in many areas like cloud coding languages, machine learning, cloud computing platforms, databases, and more.
If you are a non-technical manager and interested in learning more about the hiring process of a cloud engineer, we've put up an excellent resource for you.
Skills to look for in a cloud engineer
At a high level, cloud engineers should have the following skills in their arsenal:
1. Knowledge of databases
Knowledge of databases can be considered a crucial need to be an efficient developer. The database is where all the data will be stored and you don’t want to hire a cloud engineer who is just familiar with or has very little knowledge of database storage. Instead, hire a cloud engineer who has knowledge of various DBMS technologies such as MongoDB, Cassandra, Oracle, MySQL, etc.
2. Familiarity with various cloud infrastructures
Cloud infrastructures play an important role in organizations. It helps to build large-scale data analytics systems, automate the setup, handling of complex tasks, and more. While hiring cloud engineers, you must check their proficiency in working with various cloud computing systems, like AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.
3. Familiarity with version control systems
Software development is incomplete without the knowledge of code versioning tools. Popular versioning tools such as Git help cloud engineers control each and every step in the process of software development. Cloud engineers who have adequate knowledge of working with such platforms can work efficiently on any project.

5. Familiar with computer science fundamentals
Another key aspect to look for in a cloud engineer is in-depth knowledge of computer science fundamentals. You want to hire a cloud engineer who has adequate knowledge of data structures (stack, queue, tree, graph), algorithms (searching, sorting, dynamic and greedy programming), space and time complexity, and other CS concepts.
6. Knowledge of continuous integration environments
Continuous integration helps in validating the assumptions while building a web application. It enables a layer of transparency in the process of software development. A skilled cloud engineer must have knowledge as well as hands-on experience in continuous integration environments along with other important skills.
