Question 1

Who is DevOps?

Accepted Answer

The term "DevOps" as a job title has evolved in the industry, indicating that there isn't a specific, step-by-step process for entering this career path.

Eligibility for a DevOps position typically hinges on an individual's proficiency, coding experience, and ability to collaborate within diverse teams.

In essence, a DevOps engineer is someone who:

- Demonstrates a comprehension of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
- Possesses a strong command of various automation testing tools for developing continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
- Effectively oversees the entire DevOps team.

Question 2

How to hire a DevOps engineer?

Accepted Answer

When hiring a DevOps engineer, there are two main options to consider. Firstly, you can use your in-house team's resources to handle the task or delegate the hiring process to a staffing partner. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, and your final choice will depend on factors such as the role's requirements, task complexity, and goals.

For short-term collaborations, such as hiring a programmer for a specific project, freelance platforms are often used to find and vet candidates. However, when hiring DevOps, this approach requires careful consideration due to the nature of their tasks. Thus, you need expertise in recruiting, vetting, and compliance with legislation. Therefore, outsourcing the hiring process to a skilled partner can be more efficient as it offers several benefits:

- Access to a pool of pre-vetted candidates suitable for the position
- Efficient skills assessment, contract signing, and onboarding
- Flexible payment options tailored to your project's needs with transparent pricing

Partnering with a staffing company becomes particularly advantageous when hiring developers overseas. Managing contracts, accounting, and taxation can be difficult when dealing with foreign employment laws, especially with time zones and cultural differences.

To streamline the hiring process and ensure compliance, consider partnering with a company experienced in offshore DevOps engineer recruitment, such as DigitalSuits.
