Exciting news! I've been following Acme Corp's progress in YCombinator and it seems like they're growing rapidly. DevOps Engineers looking for a challenge should certainly apply.

I've heard that Acme Corp's tech stack is quite diverse, from Kubernetes to serverless. Can any current/past employees shed some light on it?

I'm not very familiar with YCombinator but I'm interested in the industry trends they follow. Can anyone provide any insights?

@intrptr, from what I know, YC has a strong focus on AI, ML, developer tools, personalized experiences, and security-related startups. Acme Corp seems to fit right in.

When I saw this post, I immediately thought of a few friends who'd be a great fit. One's a Terraform expert and the other automates everything with Ansible. Thanks for the tip!

Do they offer remote/hybrid work opportunities? For a DevOps Engineer, that would be a game-changer. @gnomish

@shadowjackal, yes, Acme Corp does offer flexible working conditions. A majority of their DevOps Engineers work remotely but do have to attend occasional on-site meetings in Silicon Valley.

Can they provide any info about their CI/CD pipeline? I'd be interested to know which tools they mainly use: GitHub Actions, CircleCI, GitLab CI, etc.

@darkavenger From what a friend has told me, Acme Corp has built their pipeline around CircleCI and is considering using GitLab CI for future projects.

I'm slightly concerned about joining a YC startup. What has your experience been like? Any suggestions on what to look out for?

@masterz3r0 I'd recommend asking yourself if the company's mission and culture are things you feel aligned with. Additionally, ask about the team's experience, their burn rate, and future plans.
