The platform team you’d hire if you could.
CloudEire is a Dublin-based platform engineering practice for Irish SaaS companies. Senior, opinionated, fixed-scope. Built on more than a decade of running production infrastructure for companies just like yours.
A decade of senior platform leadership, packaged.
CloudEire brings more than a decade of senior platform leadership to Irish software companies that need cloud and DevOps capability without the cost or wait of building it in-house.
Our experience spans SaaS platform transformations, cloud transitions, and DevOps maturity work across multiple early- and growth-stage SaaS businesses operating in the Irish software space — from a first AWS account through to the kind of platform engineering that scales a company through Series A and beyond. We’ve owned production infrastructure end-to-end: greenfield architectures, legacy migrations, financial governance of cloud estates, and the compliance-grade engineering that SOC 2 and ISO 27001 demand.
We’re opinionated about how to do this well, because we’ve done it. We work principal-led, with senior engineers — not as a body shop. We commit to fixed scope and clear outcomes, not blank cheques. And we focus on Irish SaaS companies because that’s the market we know, and the same market we’ve been building inside of for over ten years.
The same pattern, repeating itself.
Across more than a decade of leading SaaS platform engineering — through cloud transitions, DevOps maturity work, and platform transformations at growing Irish software businesses — the same pattern kept repeating itself.
Brilliant product engineers, scaling fast, with one or two people quietly holding the platform together. AWS bills climbing faster than revenue. A SOC 2 or ISO 27001 deadline appearing because the customer they wanted to land just asked for it. A senior DevOps job spec sitting open for nine months because the right hire is hard to find and harder to keep.
CloudEire exists for those companies. Not as a body shop. Not as another generalist consultancy. As the platform team you’d hire if you could — senior, opinionated, Dublin-based, and as invested in your platform as you are.
If that sounds like your problem, let’s talk.
