DevOps in 30 seconds
DevOps is a set of practices that shortens the path from code to production by automating build, test, deployment and infrastructure, and by making the team that writes software responsible for running it.
In practice a DevOps engineer owns continuous integration and delivery, infrastructure as code, observability and the incident process, rather than a single tool.

What a DevOps engineer actually works on
- Continuous delivery pipelines with automated tests and safe rollback
- Infrastructure as code covering every environment, including staging
- Monitoring and alerting tuned so on-call is survivable
What to check before you hire a DevOps engineer
- An incident they led: detection, mitigation, and what they changed afterwards
- Pipeline design that made deploys boring rather than heroic
- Security posture: secrets, access control and dependency patching
Is DevOps the right call?
A first DevOps hire pays for itself when deployment friction is slowing feature work. Look for someone who removes toil rather than adding platforms.
