Why Are Companies Still Desperate for DevOps Engineers?

There is a clear DevOps shortage on the job market, but not for the reason you would think. Companies are not struggling to find people who know Jenkins or Docker or even Kubernetes. They are struggling to find engineers who can think in systems. Because here is what companies actually need. They need an engineer who understands the entire software life cycle from commit to production to incident response. Now why is that exactly? Because most engineers specialize vertically. Software developers do not want to learn infrastructure. CIS admins programming. Security engineers stay in their lane. DevOps engineers are exactly those who can connect these domains with each other and that skill set is rare. Our DevOps boot camp graduates with just six months of training with our programs are getting hired as DevOps engineers. But our graduates are not being hired because they are experts. They get hired because they understand enough of each domain to be translator. They can talk to developers about deployment challenges and talk to the operations about application requirements. The demand for this skill set is not going away. Every company is becoming a software company. Every software company needs deployment automation. The gap is actually widening, not closing anytime soon. Because of that, we actually decided to offer free orientation calls to help you identify exactly what makes you valuable in this market. And the goal is primarily to give you the clarity for whatever that next action step should be for you specifically. The link is going to be either in the comments or in the bio. So check it out in those places and make sure to reserve your spot.
