FAQ about hiring a DevOps engineer

How much does IT cost to hire a DevOps engineer?

The cost to hire a DevOps engineer could vary due to different seniority levels, skill sets, number of years of experience, and location. The rate depends on those factors. Usually, the rates for in-house workers and independent contractors are different. The cost of hiring a Senior DevOps engineer in the US, San Jose, ranges from $145K – $183K, according to GlassDoor.

Why are DevOps engineers expensive?

Currently, DevOps is in high demand in the IT market, so the rates for these specialists are caused by the small number of high-quality DevOps available.

What is the day rate for a DevOps engineer?

The average daily rate for a Senior DevOps engineer 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.

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; 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 —sometimes in small companies, the scope of tasks can be extensive, so the number of specialists needed may vary.

Is a DevOps engineer still in demand?

Yes, DevOps engineer is 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 the DevOps engineer end by 2026?

Does a DevOps engineer need coding?

Common programming languages for DevOps 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 tasks involving coding include automation, configuration management, continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), infrastructure as code (IaC), and monitoring and logging.

Why hire DevOps engineer to supplement your team remotely?

When you hire DevOps engineer 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 remotely.

image

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.

image

Pay for skills, not condos in San Francisco

When you hire DevOps engineer remote, you pay for your dev’s skills, not their lifestyle or the constantly rising price of living in your city.

image

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.

image

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.
