What technologies are you currently using at your AgriTech startup? I'd be curious to learn more about how you plan to utilize a DevOps Engineer's skills in this context.

@AgriFan We're leveraging a modern tech stack including AWS, Terraform, Docker, and Jenkins. We're looking for a DevOps Engineer who can help us optimize our infrastructure, automate deployments, and integrate with IoT devices in the field.

How does the DevOps role interact with the development and farming aspects of the company? Is it mostly internal tooling and automation or is there an external, customer-facing component as well?
automateall 2 years ago next
@CodeInTheField The role will touch both the development and farming sides of our business. You'll be collaborating with our developers, data scientists, and agronomists to build and optimize our platform, tools, and accompanying infrastructure. While the bulk of the work will be internal, there will be opportunities to work on customer-facing projects, especially as we expand our offerings.

Sounds like an exciting position! I'm assuming some familiarity with infrastructure-as-code is important. Have you considered using Ansible or Pulumi in addition to Terraform?

@CloudPundit Absolutely, we see the value in a multi-tool approach to infrastructure-as-code. We're fans of Terraform, but also appreciate the benefits of Ansible and Pulumi. We're open to discussing the right tools for the job during the interview process.

Any experience with Kubernetes or OpenShift? Asking for a friend...

@ContainersOnly While not an explicit requirement, knowledge of Kubernetes and OpenShift is definitely a plus. With our focus on containerization and orchestration, understanding these technologies can only make a candidate stand out more.
