🔥 2 Fresh Remote DevOps Jobs
“Is DevOps dying?” Two days ago, I posted a video with this exact question. 11K views later, my and the comment section is flooded with sharing their thoughts on the shift I explain. The response has been insane.
Lets dive right in. Here’s a screenshot of what this looks like on YouTube:
! The data that’s got everyone talking I shared data showing DevOps salaries down 6%, job postings down 6%, remote roles down 5.2%. The comments with engineers saying they’re seeing the exact same thing at their companies.
But here’s what I told them - and why this is actually the best news for your career:The truth most engineers are missing:
- “DevOps Engineer” titles are fading, but the skills are exploding into higher-paying roles
- Platform Engineers, Cloud Engineers, SREs - they’re all absorbing DevOps skills
- In 2024, the most in-demand Kubernetes role was Software Engineer, not DevOps Engineer
- Companies want production experience, not certificates
What the comments revealed: Engineers everywhere are confirming this shift. Data engineers building pipelines with IaC. Software engineers expected to deploy their own code. Analytics engineers writing Python and using cloud-native tools.
DevOps isn’t dying. It’s becoming what it was always supposed to be - core engineering expectations, not a separate job title.
The opportunity hiding in plain sight: While everyone panics about “DevOps dying,” smart engineers are building real systems they can demonstrate. They’re not chasing certificates - they’re shipping to production.
My recommendation: Stop watching the old playbook fail. Start building systems you can show off. The engineers getting hired aren’t the ones with the most badges - they’re the ones who can demo working infrastructure they built themselves.

P.S. One comment stood out: “i’m honestly glad they’re stepping away from the title of devops engineer. no one ever really knew what it meant, and you kinda got thrown into everything. I remember hearing horror stories of DevOps engineers being up at one or 2 AM like you said having to fix production bugs.”
