I'm really excited to see Awesome Project (YC S20) looking for a DevOps Specialist. I've been using their product for a while now and it's great. I'm sure they have some exciting challenges ahead for the right candidate.

I agree, their product is really impressive. I hope they find a DevOps specialist who can help them scale even further. Have you considered applying for the role yourself?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think I would be a good fit for the role as I don't have much experience with DevOps.

I would suggest the person who is applying as a specialist to learn about the YC startup culture and if they are comfortable with the same, then apply for the role.

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely look into YC and the specific requirements for the role. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this project.

I'm a bit skeptical about this, I've heard that the YC program is not for everyone and it might be difficult to handle the fast pace.

It's true that the YC program can be demanding, but they also provide a lot of support and resources for their startups. And having a DevOps specialist onboard would be a big plus for many companies, especially those that wants to scale fast.

Absolutely, a DevOps specialist is a crucial role. They're in charge of ensuring the infrastructure is running smoothly and securely, and they need to stay on top of the latest technologies in the field. I wouldn't be surprised if this role requires 24/7 on-call rotation and experience with AWS and/or GCP.

Has anyone here worked with YCombinator startups before? I'm curious how the experience was.

I have, a few of them. You learn a lot about startups and how to build a successful business. It's a great opportunity to network and learn from the best. I would highly recommend it if you're up for the challenge.
