FAQ about hiring DevOps
How much does IT cost to hire a DevOps Engineer?

Usually the rates for in-house worker and independent contactors are different. The cost of hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer in the US, San Jose, ranges from $145K – $183K, according to GlassDoor.
Why is DevOps expensive?
Currently, DevOps engineers are in high demand in the IT market, so the rates for these specialists are caused by the small number of high-quality DevOps engineers available.

The average daily rate for a Senior DevOps Engineer’s contract in San Jose, US, ranges from $575 to $725, according to GlassDoor. The rate depends on various factors: seniority level, skill sets, and number of years of experience.

When should you hire a DevOps Engineer?

How many DevOps Engineers do I need?
Usually, if you would like to hire a DevOps Engineer for a small startup, it’s enough to find 1 or 2 specialists. For medium-sized companies and startups, it could be better to hire from 3 to 5 DevOps Engineers; for larger companies, it could be better to assemble a DevOps team. Also, you should understand the range of tasks you would like to assign to the DevOps Engineer—sometimes in small companies, the scope of tasks can be extensive, so the number of specialists needed may vary.
Is DevOps still in demand?
Yes, DevOps engineers are in high demand in the IT market. This is caused by the scarcity of highly skilled professionals in this field. They play a crucial role for startups by enhancing productivity through automation.
Will DevOps end by 2026?
No, DevOps will not end by 2026. Currently, the demand for DevOps Engineers is rising, so there are no trends indicating otherwise.
Does DevOps need coding?
Yes, DevOps requires coding skills. Senior Software Developers often transition to DevOps Engineering roles. Common programming languages for DevOps Engineers include Python, Shell scripting (Bash), Ruby, or PowerShell, which are used to automate tasks, configure infrastructure as code (IaC), and integrate various tools and systems. DevOps Engineer tasks involving coding include automation, configuration management, continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), infrastructure as code (IaC), and monitoring and logging.
Where can I find a DevOps Engineer?
If you are currently looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer for your project, you can check global hiring websites such as GlassDoor, Indeed, Dice, and LinkedIn. You need to create the job listing, publish the job listings, check the CVs, and proceed with the candidates who have the skills and experience that are good for your project. Afterwards, you need to make a large number of screening calls and hard skills interviews, choose the best candidate, and sign the contract with them.

Why hire DevOps to supplement your team remotely?
When you hire DevOps in-house, it puts your hiring team in shackles. You’re tied to CVs, endless testing and your local talent pool. Free your hiring team by dipping into the ocean of global talent you get when you hire remote.
Focus on output, not busywork
It’s easy for managers to focus on time instead of output. Remote workers get things done because output is the only way their performance is measured.
Pay for skills, not condos in San Francisco
When you hire DevOps remote, you pay for your dev’s skills, not their lifestyle or the constantly rising price of living in your city.
Hire specialists, not generalists
When you’re hiring from the global talent pool, you can find devs specializing in the exact skill you need, so you can be sure it’s done right.
Don’t get weighed down, stay agile
With remote contractors, scaling your team is easy. Hire a great dev for the right project, and when it’s done, so are they.
