Hire Remote DevOps Engineers in the Netherlands
Hiring devops engineers in the Netherlands is slow and expensive. OSCABE gives EU companies dedicated, fully-managed devops engineers from India and the Middle East from £2,600 per month, typically around 54% below the local cost of a comparable in-house hire. OSCABE vets, employs, manages and pays each DevOps engineer under one UK contract, so you get a dedicated team member without opening an overseas entity.
What does it cost to hire devops engineers in the Netherlands?
Amsterdam demand and the 30% ruling keep effective costs high. The table below compares the indicative local cost of an in-house hire with a dedicated, fully-managed OSCABE professional. Figures are indicative estimates in GBP; OSCABE bills monthly in GBP or EUR.
| Seniority | Local in-house (per year) | OSCABE managed | Indicative annual saving |

| Mid-level | £67,600 | £2,600/mo | £36,400 |
| Senior | £109,200 | £4,800/mo | £51,600 |
