Linux Foundation\u2019s\u00a02017 Open Source Jobs Report<\/em>\u00a0found 60% of open source professionals and hiring managers are currently looking to fill vacant DevOps engineering positions.<\/p>\nScott Weiss, general partner at Andreessen Horowtiz,\u00a0said: \u201cDevOps is more than just a methodology. It\u2019s a must-have skill set for the modern programmer \u2014 and is increasingly becoming its own department.<\/p>\n
Enabling shorter development cycles<\/h2>\n
\u201cThe rise of the hyper-scale cloud data center has made this job much harder.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alvaro Oliveira, vice president of talent operations at Toptal, added: \u201cAs organisations undergo DevOps transformations to more quickly deliver applications and services and compete more effectively in the market, most still don\u2019t have access to the right talent who can make this happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur new DevOps practice provides a reliable pipeline of qualified IT professionals who can enable shorter development cycles, increased deployment frequency, and more dependable releases, among other agile software development goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
The\u00a02017 State of DevOps Report<\/em> revealed high performing organisations spend 21% less time on unplanned work and rework, and 44% more time on new work.<\/p>\nReducing friction\u00a0between ideas, delivery, and consumers<\/h2>\n
Andrea Villa, DevOps expert at Toptal, added: \u201cTo be effective, today\u2019s DevOps engineer needs to have a developer background and possess a wide knowledge of system administration and network knowledge.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s important that they be able to bridge the gap between the raw code and the challenges that the business has to face every day \u2013 such as reducing friction between ideas, delivery, and consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs software development and operations become more closely intertwined, and as companies become increasingly reliant on cloud infrastructure, executives and project managers must develop fluency in DevOps to remain competitive and ensure their teams are performing up to their full potential.”<\/p>\n
Toptal\u00a0also works with clients like Arduino and Motorola Solutions to build new DevOps practices.<\/p>\n
