IT recruitment: search and selection for direct hire

DevOps Engineer recruitment: search and selection of DevOps profiles to hire

A DevOps Engineer keeps releases and infrastructure running: a wrong hire shows at the first outage. We define the profile with you, look for candidates and assess them in a live technical interview on cloud, automation and reliability.

What we assess in the technical interview

Technical interviews are live and run by people who work with the same technologies every day. These are the topics we cover for this role.

CI/CD pipelines
How they build a pipeline for build, test and release and how they roll back a faulty version.
Containers and Kubernetes
How they package an application, deploy it and manage its resources, configuration and secrets.
Infrastructure as code
How they describe environments with Terraform or similar tools and keep development and production aligned.
Monitoring and incidents
Which metrics and alerts they set up, how they handle an incident and how they analyse its causes.
Cloud security and costs
Permissions, secrets management, updates and attention to cloud spending.

Skills and tools we verify

In the briefing we agree with you on the ones that matter to your team; the technical interview verifies them.

Linux
Docker
Kubernetes
Terraform
GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
Prometheus and Grafana
Bash and Python

Seniority

Junior, mid or senior: what changes in what you can expect from the person you hire.

Junior: Works on pipelines and environments already in place, follows the procedures and learns to handle incidents with a colleague.
Mid: Automates releases and infrastructure on their own and follows an incident from the alert to the fix.
Senior: Designs the platform and release processes, sets reliability standards and leads the rest of the team.
