What does a DevOps engineer do?

The term "DevOps" has been used frequently in IT for some time now. The term DevOps (composed of the English terms for "development" and "IT operation") varies from company to company between an activity and a mindset. In most cases, it combines specific areas of activity from software development, system administration and quality assurance with the aim of optimizing processes.

The field of activity of DevOps engineers or DevOps managers is therefore very versatile; they have to develop as well as manage. In addition to general programming and administrative activities, they develop scripts and tools, ensure a smooth continuous integration and delivery process, manage certificates and monitor processes, among other things. In the process, they ensure regular updates, worked on microservice architecture and are sometimes responsible for container orchestration and virtualized systems.

Which skills does a DevOps engineer need to have?

Being the interface between software development and system administration, a DevOps engineer must cover both areas professionally. A suitable basis for this is, for example, a degree in computer science or IT or training as an IT specialist for system administration or application development.

To work as a DevOps manager, programming skills are required through an understanding of languages such as Java, Python, PHP, C# or Ruby, knowledge of scripting (such as Bash or Shell). Also, knowledge of server systems for the respective operating system (Windows, iOS, Linux). For modern setups in the cloud, experience with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and container tools such as Docker and Kubernetes is required.

DevOps managers should also understand IT infrastructures, be proficient in agile working techniques, and be team players with strong communication skills. A strong willingness to learn is also important. Someone who has these skills can join as a junior DevOps engineer.

Wanted: DevOps Engineer!

DevOps engineers must combine skills and abilities of software developers with those of systems engineers, i.e., they must have knowledge of software development (appropriate to the respective operating system) and administration. As an interface between different departments, strong communication skills are essential for DevOps managers. Since the digital economy is constantly evolving, the candidate also needs to continuously educate him- or herself. So it's no wonder that senior DevOps engineers in particular are highly sought after and in short supply.

How does alphacoders identify qualified DevOps managers?

„Wie ticken DevOps-Engineers?“, ist eine Frage, die sich Personaler von Flensburg bis München auf der verzweifelten Suche nach geeigneten Kandidaten stellen. Angesichts eines nahezu leergefegten Bewerbermarktes nehmen sie daher gern die Dienste von Headhuntern in Anspruch. Für passgenaue Besetzungen ist unbedingt darauf zu achten, dass die Personalvermittlung inhaltlich versteht, was ein/e potenzielle/r Kandidat/in kann, aber auch, was ihn bzw. sie motiviert. Um passende DevOps-Manager zu finden, sollte man daher buchstäblich deren Sprache sprechen. DevOps-Engineer ist nicht gleich DevOps-Engineer und die Suche nach dem geeigneten Kandidaten bzw. der Kandidatin sollte dem unbedingt Rechnung tragen.

Constanze El Rikabi

Director Human Resources — Ascendis Pharma GmbH

With the help of alphacoders we have succeeded twice in adding the right IT resources to our team. The structured preparation of the candidate search and the alphacoders approach made this possible. In the future, IT recruiting will only run through alphacoders.

Susanne Hasenstab

Head of HR - WEITBLICK® GmbH & Co. KG

Last year we worked with alphacoders for the first time. The cooperation was characterised by professional and very personal support, as well as profound contacts within our target group. What was special for us was that we were actually only looking for one PHP developer, but because of the but due to the suitable selection of candidates we directly hired 2 developers and that within only 3 months. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.

Ralf Fohrmann

Head of Human Resources - prophete

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a NAV developer. The special thing about this was the complexity of the market situation: it is a very special position with a very narrow pool of candidates and a very loyal target group. We solved it through trusting and effective communication and adjustments to the profile. One key was certainly that we opened up for a fully remote position and were thus able to find and successfully recruit the right candidate.

Cornelius Lauritzen

CEO — Glambou

With alphacoders we have found a strong partner for our tech recruiting. The feedback loops were short and efficient. Our company, our tech vision and our requirement profile were quickly understood and implemented. The management of the interview process went fabulous for us as well as for the candidates.

Oliver Kühne

CTO — Monsterzeug

Professional and goal-oriented, I would work with alphacoders again at any time. I've recommended them both internally to other departments and to external stakeholders.

Dr. Janine Nastelski

People & Culture Manager — Webmatch

Very professional, always transparent and honest cooperation. Extremely good understanding of the market including recommendations for action. Completely different approach than classic recruiting agencies.

Christina Bombeck

HR Managerin - Fundis Reitsport

We have commissioned alphacoders to search for 2 web developers. The challenge is that we are active in a special niche in e-commerce with the topic of equestrian sports and ideally the ideal candidate should also identify with our sport. In addition to good communication and consultation, we jointly implemented an effective hiring process. alphacoders not only managed to attract many women for this position, but we even managed to hire someone with a love for our sport. We were able to fill both positions with alphacoders and would hire them again anytime.

Bianca Potapski

HR Managerin — Soil & More Impacts GmbH

We really enjoyed working with alphacoders, it was a professional collaboration on an equal footing right from the start. alphacoders puts itself very well in the client's position and thanks to the regular agreements it always ran smoothly. We have successfully recruited a senior Phyton developer with alphacoders and would recommend alphacoders to others.

Franziska Mehlhorn

Head of People & Organisational Development — Picdrop

We have been working successfully with alphacoders for some time. What I personally like very much is the uncomplicated and personal exchange, as well as the quick occupation time, which has only lasted an average of 3 months so far. alphacoders understands their trade and we are very happy to have them on our team.

Stephanie Werk

Senior Tech Recruiterin - WERTGARANTIE Group

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a PL/SQL developer. Thanks to the professional support of alphacoders, we were able to fill the position in a very short time. The fact that we worked very closely with the tech recruiters and that we had the same understanding of the market and the special requirements played a major role in our success. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.

Tobias Schumacher

CTO & Co-Founder — Closelink

Working with alphacoders was our first experience with a recruiter. We particularly liked the transparent communication and the summary of the search in the form of reports and figures. This helped us to better understand the candidate market and gain deeper insights into recruitment from IT specialists. We can recommend alphacoders 100%.

Gabi Wegner

People & Relations Manager — MOIA

We really appreciate working with alphacoders because they really have a clue about tech and take time to understand who we need for MOIA and for our individual teams.
