A DevOps Engineer plays a crucial role in modern software development by integrating the efforts of development and IT operations teams. Their primary focus is on creating automated, efficient, and reliable workflows that streamline software delivery and infrastructure management.
DevOps Engineers are experts in tools like Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform. They build and manage Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to ensure code changes are tested and deployed rapidly without manual intervention. By automating repetitive tasks and implementing monitoring solutions, they help teams reduce errors, detect issues early, and maintain system health.
