What does a DevOps Engineer do?
They own how software is built, deployed, and operated — building CI/CD pipelines, managing cloud infrastructure as code, running container orchestration, and setting up observability and alerting. The goal is to let teams ship frequently and recover quickly when things break.
What skills does a DevOps Engineer need?
Strong Linux and scripting fundamentals, containers and Kubernetes, infrastructure as code (commonly Terraform), and a major cloud like AWS, GCP, or Azure. CI/CD tooling, observability stacks, and networking/security fluency round out a senior profile.
How much does a DevOps Engineer earn?
Compensation varies considerably by region, cloud expertise, and seniority, and tends to sit at the higher end of infrastructure roles. See the estimated compensation section above for regional medians.
Is DevOps the same as SRE?
They overlap heavily and the titles are often used interchangeably. DevOps emphasizes the build-and-deploy pipeline and team workflow, while Site Reliability Engineering applies a more explicit engineering discipline to reliability targets like SLOs and error budgets.
