A DevOps engineer builds the pipelines and platforms that let other engineers ship safely and quickly: CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, container orchestration, secrets management, and developer-experience tooling. The role overlaps with platform engineering and SRE in many organisations. DevOps engineer jobs are heavy with Kubernetes, Terraform, and major-cloud expertise.
In day-to-day terms, most devops engineers spend time on a mix of focused execution, collaboration, and review. Typical responsibilities include:
Employers typically expect: Hands-on experience with one major cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure); Strong Linux, networking, and scripting fundamentals; Production experience with Kubernetes and containers; IaC experience (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation) — and look for evidence in your resume and portfolio. For a deeper official overview, see the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook entry for this role.
