Differences Between Junior DevOps and Senior DevOps Engineers
What to focus on in order to develop your technical skills and level up your career
As is tradition with my posts, let me start by defining what DevOps means:
DevOps is a culture that encourages collaborations among all stakeholders including development and operations teams and the improvement of processes through automation to increase the quality and speed of software delivery.
While DevOps heavily emphasizes the need for cultural change within a company, the industry has most definitely adopted a job title for “DevOps Engineer.” As with most job titles and roles within a company, there are usually junior, experienced, and senior members that focus on that role.
I’ve spent my entire career focusing on DevOps and working in multiple fortune 500 companies.
