Devops is a culture and philosophy that, in a nutshell, aims to unify the formerly separate silos of development (the people who create applications) and operations (the people who make sure those applications are working the way they should) into a single team. This team uses continuous integration, continuous delivery, and testing to release frequent incremental improvements to the existing codebase into production.
Logically, then, a devops engineer is someone with the skills necessary to serve on such a team. But like all things devops, the precise definition of a devops engineer can be difficult to pin down—and some people claim the term “devops engineer” isn’t a meaningful job description at all. Nevertheless, more and more companies are saying that they want to hire devops engineers and are willing to pay them good money. Let’s see what it is they’re looking for.
