The devops job market is concentrated. India has 1,433 open roles, Poland has 560, and the US has 432. If you're based elsewhere or willing to relocate, knowing where the volume is helps you focus your search instead of applying blind.
Three-quarters of the ads are written in English—3,280 out of 4,658. This tells you about the ad itself, not whether the role requires you to speak English on the job. Check each posting carefully for language expectations.
A handful of employers are hiring hard right now. FullStack has 69 open devops positions, Link Group has 57, Upvanta has 36, and FlexBoard has 28. If you're building a target list, these four are worth researching deeply—they're actively scaling.
When you interview, expect questions about your incident response process. Hiring managers want to know how you've handled a real outage: what monitoring alerted you, what you did first, and what you'd do differently next time. Prepare a story with those three pieces.
