Описание

I really like DevOps, but sometimes it feels like there is no real entry level into this field I genuinely think DevOps or platform engineering is the area of software I enjoy the most. I like CI/CD, Terraform, cloud infrastructure, debugging weird deployment problems, trying to understand why systems fail, automating repetitive things, and generally having ownership instead of just implementing another CRUD endpoint. I’m currently a working student in an SRE/platform team in a big company in Germany. I’ve already worked on things like services from Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Cloud Run, deployment alerts, state migrations and fixing random infrastructure problems that come up along the way. And the funny thing is that the more I learn, the more I like it. But looking for a junior position is becoming pretty frustrating: A lot of “Junior DevOps” jobs seem to expect Kubernetes production experience, several cloud providers, Terraform, Ansible, networking, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring, security and somehow 2–3 years of professional experience with all of them. Then there are actual entry level positions, but many of them seem to basically be IT support with “cloud” or “DevOps” in the title. I know I still have a huge amount to learn. I don’t expect someone to give me a production Kubernetes cluster on day one and say good luck. I actually want to be around experienced engineers, get challenged, make mistakes and slowly become someone who can be trusted with serious systems. My goal isn’t to job hop every six months either. I would genuinely like to find a team where I can stay for several years and become really good at this. But sometimes I wonder how exactly companies expect junior DevOps engineers to become experienced DevOps engineers if almost everyone wants the experience before giving you the opportunity to get it. For people who are already working in DevOps/SRE/platform engineering: how did you actually get your first proper role? Did you already know most of the stack, or did somebody simply take a chance on you and let you learn? Edit: I worded the sysadmin part badly. I don’t think sysadmin work is beneath me at all. I just want to move toward automation, infrastructure and software rather than mostly ticket-based support. Edit 2: I respect that some of you suggest starting in help desk or sysadmin. But my long term goal is to move into an SRE role, ideally something closer to how Google approaches SRE. I read the SRE book and really liked the idea of treating operations as a software engineering problem, with automation, reliability, monitoring and reducing repetitive manual work. That is the direction I want to build toward. [link] [handle]
