Cloud Infrastructure

Section 1 / Overview

Which way this sector's hiring is moving

Hyperscalers, cloud-native vendors, and the developer-tools layer.

Cloud infrastructure combines two closely related worlds. On one side sit the hyperscalers and cloud-native vendors that run the underlying platforms, and on the other the developer-tools and DevOps companies built on top of them. The roster is dominated by global cloud providers with large India engineering centres alongside specialist product firms, and the roles skew toward systems and platform engineering.
