FAQs
Hire DevOps Engineers: Common Questions
Answers to frequently asked questions about hiring DevOps engineers through Salt.
How quickly can I hire DevOps engineers through Salt?
You can hire DevOps engineers within 1-2 weeks. We present pre-vetted candidates within 2-3 days, you interview and select, and engineers can start with a 2-week trial. No lengthy recruitment cycles or months of searching.
What skills do your DevOps engineers have?
Our DevOps engineers are proficient in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog), and security best practices. Many also have SRE experience.
How do you vet DevOps engineers before I hire them?
Our vetting includes hands-on infrastructure challenges, system design discussions for scalable architectures, troubleshooting scenarios, and assessment of automation practices. We evaluate cloud architecture knowledge, security awareness, and experience with production-scale systems. Only about 3% pass.
Can I hire DevOps engineers for my existing team?
Yes, absolutely. When you hire DevOps engineers through Salt, they integrate seamlessly with your existing team, processes, and tools. They participate in your standups, incident response, and planning sessions. We specifically match engineers who fit your tech stack and team culture.
Do your DevOps engineers have cloud certifications?
Many of our DevOps engineers hold relevant certifications like AWS Solutions Architect, AWS DevOps Engineer, Azure Administrator, GCP Professional Cloud Architect, and Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD). However, we prioritize hands-on production experience over certifications alone.
What experience level are the DevOps engineers I can hire?
Most DevOps engineers you can hire through Salt have 4-8+ years of experience managing production infrastructure. We categorize engineers as Mid-level (3-5 years), Senior (5-8 years), and Staff/Principal (8+ years) based on demonstrated skills, not just tenure.
Can I hire DevOps engineers who also handle development work?
Yes. Many of our DevOps engineers have software development backgrounds and can handle platform engineering, tooling development, and automation scripting. If you need dedicated development capacity, we recommend a Pod that includes both developers and DevOps engineers.
What if I need to hire more DevOps engineers later?
Scaling is built into our model. Start by hiring one DevOps engineer, add more as needed, or transition to a full Platform Pod with additional skills (development, QA, security). There's no penalty or friction for scaling up or down.
What time zones do your DevOps engineers work in?
Our engineers are based in India but maintain 4-6 hours of overlap with US time zones. Many work flexible schedules to align with your team's core hours and on-call requirements. We ensure there's enough real-time collaboration for effective incident response.
