Projects where the Microsoft ecosystem is your territory: which application migrates, which function gets built and which integration closes. Shakers connects you with companies already paying for Azure and not using it.
What gets read about the Microsoft ecosystem is either certification syllabi or endless consultancy job ads. Neither tells you how to start building on a real company's subscription project by project. Here is that.

Amelia
AI Agent Developer
“I have been building AI agents for years. Thanks to Shakers I stopped chasing clients and started genuinely choosing which projects I wanted to work on. I work with some of the best companies in Europe, at my own rate, and I focus on what I am good at and what I love: building.”

Luz
Backend Developer & Data Engineer
“Shakers adds a lot of value because it connects you with sharper projects, already filtered and better defined. It saves you a big part of the upfront work of understanding the client, quoting and weighing up whether it is worth it, and that means that as a contractor you can go far more directly to the opportunities that genuinely fit you.”

Rubén
Software Developer
“Life as a contractor has a lot going on and it is not always easy. We like to focus on what we are good at, but you also have to manage clients, invoicing and go looking for work. For me, Shakers has been key because it does that prospecting for me, it gives the client confidence from the very first moment, and it lets us be part of a community with real enthusiasm.”

AI Developer
“Shakers was key to getting my company off the ground: it gave me the flexibility to keep contracting while I built my next chapter. Without Shakers, I would have had to raise funding or push the project back.”

Product Designer
“With Shakers I have landed recurring projects that give me peace of mind and room to grow professionally. It is not just about reaching quality clients: it is feeling that you have a network behind you, one that connects you with real opportunities and helps you move forward as a freelancer.”
Join ShakersAn Azure Developer builds applications on Microsoft Azure: they migrate .NET services running on-premise, program serverless functions in Azure Functions, close identities with Entra ID and deploy with Azure DevOps. Their identity is the whole Microsoft ecosystem, from C# and PowerShell to SQL and Cosmos DB.
You decide which application migrates and with what strategy, what becomes serverless and what stays a service, and how every identity entering the subscription is closed. You also decide what stays untouched: a legacy .NET system running payroll is not rewritten on a Friday. The cloud belongs to the company; what gets built inside it, to you.

Shakers is hiring infrastructure: the project arrives with the Microsoft cloud already paid and the legacy system that hurts, not with a list of technologies.
You deliver what migrates, what gets modernised and what stays, with the cost of each decision written before a single line moves.
You set the monitoring, the alert threshold and who responds. Serverless gets operated too: every function with its telemetry.
Having built or migrated on a real company subscription and being able to tell what broke along the way and how you resolved it.
Choosing by cost and risk, not fashion. Sometimes the honest answer is the application stays where it is, and defending that.
You build inside Azure; you don't design the multi-cloud platform or automate someone else's pipeline. You say so at kickoff.
Any other questions? Write to us and we will reply.
The .NET Framework application nobody dares touch, the function consuming the message queue and the identity that must close before Friday. Less inherited maintenance, more services being built.
5,180 active tech job ads in Spain mention Azure, one in six of the corpus, according to Shakers' market analysis (n=30,508, September 2026). The inherited cloud of the Spanish enterprise holds the demand.
The frequent door is the .NET developer tired of local servers. Another is the Microsoft consultant who wants their own code instead of billable hours.
Not installing the platform nor designing the cloud: building inside it. If the problem is the pipeline, the role is DevOps; multi-cloud architecture, Cloud Architect.
Four roles from the collective cross your path inside the Microsoft ecosystem, from the one automating to the one designing the platform.
Their pipeline deploys what you build: the automation of the path, with no cloud identity.
The same craft on the Amazon cloud: when the client lives in AWS, that page joins the brief and you don't.
Decides whether Azure is the cloud and how it is structured: their decisions are the frame you build within.
The services you later deploy: when the logic lives in code rather than cloud, diagnosis is shared.
Boundaries between these roles are agreed per project: the job title doesn't set them.
