HireHire

I help Nepal companies hire & grow DevOps engineers.

Hi, I'm Puru. I'm a DevOps engineer, CNCF Kubestronaut, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, and author of the CKA and CKS Handbooks. I've spent 10+ years building infrastructure and systems on the internet.

I started this because I kept seeing the same thing: good companies in Nepal struggling to hire DevOps talent, and good engineers struggling to grow without proper mentorship. Generic job boards don't solve either problem. So I'm doing it myself — personally, not through an agency.

Why me?

I'm not a recruiter. I'm not running an HR firm. I'm a working DevOps engineer who has done the job — debugging pipelines at 2am, designing Kubernetes clusters from scratch, helping companies cut their AWS bills, mentoring junior engineers who had no one to guide them.

When I match you with an engineer, I know what I'm looking for because I've been on both sides — as the hire, and as the person building the team. When I mentor someone, I do it hands-on: real code reviews, real architecture discussions, real feedback. Not slides and theory.

And because I only get paid after 3 months — after the hire sticks — my incentive is entirely aligned with yours. I want it to work as much as you do.

If you want a sense of how I think, I write about DevOps and cloud on LinkedIn and Medium.

How it works

Simple. No contracts upfront, no agency fees, no middlemen.

  1. We talk. You tell me your stack, your team, and what's broken. I ask questions. I want to understand the problem, not just collect a job spec.
  2. I find the right person — or validate yours. I can shortlist from engineers I know and have vetted. But if you've already found someone and just want a second opinion, I can technically interview and evaluate them for you. Either way, no one gets through without a real assessment.
  3. The hire starts. I stay involved. For the first 3 months, I check in, help the engineer ramp up, and keep you in the loop.
  4. At month 3, you pay. One month of the engineer's salary. Only if things are working out.

Want more? For an extra half month fee, I actively mentor your new hire throughout those 3 months — weekly 1:1s, code and infra reviews, a clear growth roadmap. Especially useful if they're junior or stepping into DevOps for the first time.

Pricing
