Essential technical skills for DevOps engineers include experience in agile project management, server administration (Linux, Windows, Unix), source code management (GIT), containerization software (Docker, Kubernetes), and configuration management (Puppet, Ansible, Terraform, Chef). Proficiency in cloud infrastructures like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell, are highly valued. Soft skills like strong communication, lifelong learning, and critical thinking are also crucial for success in these roles.<\/p>\n
The DevOps and SRE sector continues to grow with significant demand for roles in these fields. Linux-based roles, particularly in junior DevOps, are highly sought after. The sector is witnessing a shift towards more specialised projects, and there is a growing demand for professionals with strong development skills, especially in programming and scripting.<\/p>\n
Salaries in the DevOps and SRE sectors have seen a slight increase, especially in junior and mid-level roles, driven by the growing demand from the Fintech and iGaming industries in Malta. This trend reflects the overall growth and development of these fields within the IT sector.<\/p>\n
The demand for DevOps and SRE professionals mainly comes from the expanding Fintech<\/a> and iGaming industries. However, other sectors in Malta are also increasingly seeking these skills.<\/p>\n Candidates in the DevOps and SRE market typically look for roles that offer them opportunities for continuous learning and specialisation in various technologies. The flexibility of remote work and engagement with the latest technologies are also key factors that attract professionals to this field.<\/p>\n Employers are seeking candidates with a combination of strong technical skills and soft skills. They prefer candidates who can effectively manage both IT infrastructure and software development<\/a>, ensuring smooth operations and efficient release updates.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cloud computing skills are highly sought after in the global market. The expertise required includes knowledge of major cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud<\/a>. Technical skills in cloud infrastructure management, virtualisation, networking, and familiarity with DevOps technologies are crucial. Additionally, professionals in this field are expected to have strong communication and consulting skills, particularly for roles that involve guiding clients post-migration.<\/p>\nCloud<\/h3>\n
