Skills we screen for in a DevOps Engineer

What we screen

Mid–senior operators who own infra → reliable deploys → observable systems, not ticket theater.

  • CI/CD & release pipelines — Boring, repeatable deploys — not heroics at midnight.
  • Cloud & containers — AWS/GCP/Azure + Docker/K8s matched to real needs.
  • Infrastructure as code — Terraform/Pulumi/etc. so environments aren’t snowflakes.
  • Observability & incident response — Metrics, logs, alerts that diagnose before customers yell.
  • Security & access hygiene — Least privilege, secrets, and patch cadence.
  • Cost & reliability tradeoffs — Right-size infra; know what fails first under load.

How we vet

How we vet before shortlist:

  • Infra / case review — Real uptime and delivery outcomes, not tool laundry lists.
  • DevOps exercise — Can they design a deploy + rollback path for a clear service?
  • References — Confirmed delivery with eng leads or founders.
  • Incident under pressure — Clear triage when prod is degraded.
  • Founder-ready communication — Reliability + next risk, not buzzword theater.
