Hiring guide

What to look for in a Terraform freelancer

A strong Terraform expert should treat infrastructure like software, with modules, reviews, and safe state handling. Look for:

  • Clean, modular code, not one giant file that nobody wants to touch.
  • Careful state management: remote backends, locking, and no secrets in state.
  • Real cloud depth on your provider, whether AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Safe change habits: reviewing plans before applying and avoiding drift.
  • Experience importing existing infra, which is trickier than starting fresh.

Ask how they manage state for a team and prevent two people applying at once. A vague answer is a real risk in production.
