Cloud Employee (cloudemployee.io) is a UK -headquartered technical staff augmentation company founded in 2014, providing dedicated, full-time senior software engineers, including AI, data, and full-stack specialists - to companies across the US, UK, Europe, and Australia.
Clients contract locally with our UK, US, or Australian entity. Engineers are directly and legally employed through our own entities and local employment infrastructure in the Philippines, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, Croatia, Serbia, and Poland — never gig workers. As their legal employer, we handle payroll, benefits, compliance, equipment, offices, and learning & development, while your developers work exclusively for you, in your time zone, embedded in your tools and reporting straight into your team.
What to expect:
- Two vetted candidates per hire, on average - custom headhunted by us and screened by senior engineers via live coding interviews, not recruiters, in under a week
- Local contracting: US, UK, and Australian entities, local-law agreements, billing in USD, GBP, or AUD
IP and data protection built in: full IP assignment, NDAs, GDPR-aligned agreements, and EU-based employment in Croatia and Poland - Zero upfront fees, no placement fees, monthly rolling contracts
Engineers who stay: 2+ years' average tenure, rated 4.8 /5 by our developers across 160 Glassdoor reviews - Free to interview matched engineers
We're not a freelancer marketplace or a recruitment agency. From seed-stage startups to global brands like Virgin and Travelex, we're a long-term partner with our own offices and support teams on the ground - which is why Cloud Employee developers feel in-house, from day one.
