Our company works with Azure DevOps and we are also only hired if we have both Dev and Ops experience.

But it is totally possible for someone to be good at coding, but never have used Docker in tandem with OpenShift for example. I had to learn all of that on the job as well.
But that is where the double edged sword is. You want people to have some knowledge but it's hard to come by when you ask for specific tools.

What they did in our company is just ask if you have any prior experience in Ops and if you are willing to learn new tools. If that answer is yes you are already likely to be hired as we have a shortage in the Netherlands of developer for almost every language.

That’s cool! This is also an excellent way to manner the operational side by including people interested in this subject. Plus, those people may have a development background already and want to learn about the Ops of the DevOps word, so in that way, you have the best of both worlds!

By the way, you can also check out our developer control plane. It is meant to solve the challenges of developers trying to handle Ops by eliminating the need to learn more tools and automating workflows from build to deployment.
