"Terrific partner that has been instrumental in helping us scale from an MVP to series A"
Very well-vetted, high-quality candidates, ensure that I don't waste time interviewing unqualified people. They also make payroll a breeze and allow us to offer competitive benefits packages and provide hardware to our employees. They help find solutions that work for you rather than just making up the numbers and building a funnel.

Revelo manages the entire process for you. They found candidates; responded and adjusted their search based on my feedback; scheduled interviews; etc. After spending an inordinate amount of time trying to find the talent we needed in-house -- and honestly not doing a great job of it -- they got us a developer we're thrilled with.

"Helped us find engineers quickly - great communication with our team"
The speed at which they were able to source engineers. We were able to find fullstack engineers that will stay with our company just like regular full-time employees. They come at a competitive price-point compared to other agencies.

Tips for Hiring DevOps engineers

DevOps engineers are responsible for introducing tools, processes, and methodologies to balance needs throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC).

While many DevOps engineers may be available for hire, finding the right one for your company can be challenging. It's challenging if you're unfamiliar with DevOps concepts and terminologies.

This article discusses DevOps development, what DevOps engineers do, their salaries, and how to write a compelling job description and ask the right interview questions to attract and hire top DevOps engineers. It also covers how Revelo can match you with suitable DevOps engineers.

What Is DevOps Development?

DevOps development involves introducing DevOps tools, methodologies, and processes to a software development and IT company.

A combination of software development (dev) and operations (ops), DevOps is a software engineering and IT methodology that integrates and automates the work of IT operations and software development to shorten and improve the SDLC. It builds on top of Lean, Agile, and systems theory and focuses on rapid delivery and incremental software development. Success relies on collaboration, the developers' ability to hold each other accountable, joint responsibility for product outcomes, and empathy.

DevOps can be used for a wide range of IT projects, including:

  • Automating cloud infrastructure
  • Helping development teams deliver software into customers' hands as quickly and reliably as possible
  • Addressing software and systems vulnerabilities
  • Setting up continuous delivery (CD) and continuous integration (CI) pipelines
  • Building version control systems

Typical DevOps employers include:

  • Software development companies
  • Charities
  • Utility companies
  • Law firms
  • Finance firms
  • Government agencies
  • Broadcasters and telecommunications companies
  • Tech consultancies
  • Entertainment and communications organizations

What Does a DevOps Engineer Do?

DevOps engineer roles vary depending on the company and project, but most are responsible for the following tasks:

  • Creating new development infrastructure and tools
  • Evaluating current processes and systems and developing ways to improve them
  • Working with developers and other team members to oversee code releases
  • Creating specification documents
  • Understanding and translating stakeholders' needs into code
  • Testing and examining code written by others
  • Planning projects and becoming involved in project management
  • Spotting technical problems and developing fixes

DevOps Engineer Salary

According to Glassdoor, the average U.S.-based, mid-level DevOps engineer with four to six years of experience earns $138,857 annually.

Although DevOps engineers in Latin American countries are equally skilled, their lower cost of living means they usually earn 30% to 50% less than their U.S. counterparts, with salaries varying based on location and experience. Revelo provides access to many such highly qualified, pre-vetted Latin American developers, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising quality.

How to Write a Job Description for DevOps Engineers

You must have a detailed and concise job description to attract top DevOps engineers. At a minimum, your job description should include the following sections:

  • Job title: Pick an accurate and concise job title that summarizes the position and required experience level. You can determine the necessary experience level by analyzing the required skills and any need for mentorship. Junior or entry-level DevOps engineers have less than three years of experience, have generic skills, and require mentorship. Mid-level DevOps engineers have four to six years of experience, more specialized skill sets, and the ability to provide mentorship to junior developers. Senior DevOps engineers have over six years of experience, specialized skills, lead teams and projects, and take on managerial positions.
  • Company bio: Summarize your company's values, mission, organizational structure, and software development methodology (DevOps). This will help you attract like-minded applicants.
  • Desired education, skills, and qualifications: List the education, qualifications, and technical and soft skills required for the position. Most companies hire DevOps engineers with the following:
  • At least a bachelor of science in computer science, IT, or a related field
  • Familiarity with Linux, CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), automation, and configuration management
  • Strong problem-solving skills
  • Experience using DevOps tools, such as Docker and Jenkins
  • Attention to detail
  • Excellent time management and organizational skills, including the ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously
  • Familiarity with Agile and DevOps principles and the ability to apply them
  • Salary and benefits: Mention the salary range and benefits for this position. High-quality DevOps engineers are more likely to apply to companies offering competitive wages and benefits. Examples of competitive benefits include tuition reimbursement, health insurance, and wellness programs.

Interview Questions for DevOps Engineers

After posting your job description, you must create interview questions to assess applicants' skills, personalities, and experiences. Below are some sample questions to get you started.

What's the difference between DevOps and Agile?

This question tests applicants' understanding of DevOps and Agile methodologies. The ideal answer should sound like this:

Although DevOps is built on Agile principles, they are two distinct philosophies.

DevOps is a culture that allows the operations and development teams to collaborate. It empowers teams to engage in continuous development, testing, integration, deployment, and monitoring in a streamlined manner.

Agile is a project management and software development methodology focusing on incremental, iterative (i.e., repeated), small, and quick software releases alongside client feedback. It addresses conflicts and gaps between developers and clients.

Which DevOps tools are you familiar with?

Ask this question to evaluate job seekers' experience with DevOps tools. A good DevOps engineer should be familiar with the following types of tools:

  • Version control tools, such as Git
  • Build tools, such as Maven
  • CI/CD tools, such as Jenkins
  • Configuration management tools, such as Chef, Ansible, and Puppet
  • Container platforms like Docker and Kubernetes
  • Communication and collaboration tools like Slack
  • Cloud and storage options like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure
  • Monitoring, incident response, and alerting tools like SignalFx
  • Testing tools like Selenium and Gremlin

What are the phases of DevOps?

This question reveals candidates' familiarity with DevOps development. A strong answer should cover the following:

  1. Plan: The DevOps team creates a plan for the application or architecture they're developing.
  2. Code: The team codes the project according to client and stakeholder requirements.
  3. Build: The team builds the project by integrating code.
  4. Test: The team tests the application and rebuilds it as needed.
  5. Integrate: The team integrates multiple codes from different programmers into one set.
  6. Deploy: The team deploys code into a cloud or on-premise environment.
  7. Operate: The team performs operations on the code as required.
  8. Monitor: The team monitors the project's performance and makes changes to meet user requirements.
