Hire a remote DevOps Engineer
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.
