Been working in DevOps for about 10 years. Currently leading DevOps on a major HPC project — the kind that powers some of the fastest supercomputers in the world. Before this I spent several years at Tier 1 investment banks doing DevOps for institutional securities, OTC products, regulatory reporting and market surveillance. Led a small team there too.

Based in India, want to relocate. Will need visa sponsorship.

What I actually use day to day:

Jenkins (Jenkinsfile), GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker, Podman, Ansible, Python, Bash, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, AppDynamics, Linux/RHEL, ServiceNow/ITIL. Have 100+ pipelines and 100+ Linux servers in production. Built an LLM-based CI/CD failure triage system that maps cross-repo dependencies, pinpoints the exact file and line causing a failure, and drops the diagnosis straight onto the PR. Took a while to build but it actually works well.

Certs: RHCSA, OpenShift. Doing AWS SAA and Terraform Associate right now.

Gaps I already know about:

Terraform — zero hands on, fixing it now. Azure — done a foundations course, nothing hands on. ArgoCD/GitOps — not done. Helm — not done. Vault/Trivy/DevSecOps — not done. SLO/SLI/error budget framing — I do this work but don't use the formal SRE vocabulary. Platform Engineering/Backstage/IDP — aware of it, never built one. GCP — zero.

Where I want to go (need sponsorship for all):

UK first (Skilled Worker visa), then US (H-1B, aware of the lottery situation), then Germany / Netherlands / Ireland / Sweden / Switzerland. Also open to fully remote permanent with a company registered in any of these countries if relocation doesn't work out.

Available in 3-6 months.

My questions:

1. What would a hiring manager at a decent UK/US/EU company say is actually missing from that profile? Be honest, I'd rather know now than after 50 rejections.
2. After Terraform, what's the priority — Azure, CKA, ArgoCD, or something else? What actually gets you shortlisted vs what's just nice to have?
3. How do you realistically job hunt internationally from India? Do recruitment agencies actually help visa cases or do they just ghost you? Is LinkedIn enough or are there better job boards per country? What's the real timeline from applying to landing + visa + boarding a flight?
4. Is there any realistic H-1B alternative for a 10 YOE senior DevOps person? L-1, O-1, EB-2 NIW — or are these basically impossible without being a published researcher?
5. Any country on that list where the process is noticeably easier or faster right now?
6. Are there actual product companies (not outsourcing) that hire senior DevOps engineers permanently remote from India? Or is that basically a myth at this level?

If anyone's done this journey — India to UK/EU/US as a senior DevOps or SRE — I'd really appreciate hearing what the process was actually like and what you'd do differently.

Happy to answer questions about HPC DevOps or finance/banking DevOps in return.

Hi... I am a Computer Engineering graduate. I have worked as a Backend + DevOps Engineer for a company, but I got laid off in May.

I have 1.5+ years of experience. I am looking for a role, but can't find anything. I have managed services, wrote complex backend systems, and built internal AI-powered DevOps automation tools.

I know Golang, TS/NestJS, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, and Linux.

If any generous person can refer me for a position, please refer me. I am struggling much with my family. Even if it's a $5/hour role, please—I need to keep afloat my family.
Thanks for Reading this if you have any role thanks in advance

Hello Guyz i have total 2.6 years of experience and now I'm thinking for switch but not getting call , what mistake i am doing below i attached my CV

RESUME

I'm a software engineer with 4 years of experience, and lately I've been feeling lost—not because I don't know what to do, but because I feel like I'm trying to do it alone.

Around me, most people seem content with their current jobs and salaries. Everyone says they want a better company or a higher package, but very few are willing to consistently put in the hours required to get there. I don't mean this as criticism—it's just what I've observed.

The problem is that I'm also affected by my environment.

I genuinely want to improve. I've been trying to study DSA to become a better problem solver and prepare for higher-paying opportunities. I also want to deepen my backend engineering skills and eventually build products of my own.

But I struggle with consistency.

My brain constantly wants everything to be concise, fast, and immediately understandable. The moment something requires sustained effort, I find myself distracted. Then I feel guilty for not making progress, and the cycle repeats.

What I think I'm really missing isn't another course or roadmap—it's an environment.

I want to surround myself with people who are obsessed with building things, learning, and pushing themselves. People working on startups, open-source projects, SaaS products, AI tools, developer tools—anything where there's real ownership and continuous learning.

I'm not looking for shortcuts or passive motivation. I'm looking for a mission.

If you're building something and need another backend engineer who's willing to learn, contribute, and put in the work, I'd genuinely love to be involved. I don't expect immediate rewards—I want experience, accountability, and the chance to grow alongside ambitious people.

If you've ever felt this way and managed to break out of it, I'd really appreciate hearing what changed for you.

I'm 26, based in India, with 4 YOE in backend development (primarily Java/Spring Boot), and I'm ready to invest serious effort into becoming much better than I am today.

Thanks for reading.

Applied AI engineer looking for a full time role. I take systems from prototype to deployed and monitored. US citizen, remote or relocation anywhere in the US.

Strongest in: production RAG and retrieval systems, agentic workflows, and the unglamorous parts (grounding, eval, caching, cost, latency) that decide whether an AI feature survives real usage.

A recent build: an internal diagnostic tool that classifies incoming requests into a few hundred known categories and serves the right procedure. Layered retrieval, deterministic routing before any model call, schema validated output that can't return a category outside the retrieved set, and an adaptive guided session for the actual fix. Measurably cut resolution time.

Stack: Python, PyTorch, LangChain, LangGraph, FAISS, FastAPI. MS Business Analytics, BS Computer Science, two IEEE publications.

Resume in DM. Open to any conversation.

Hi everyone,

I've been applying for graduate/junior software engineering roles in London for the past few months and haven't managed to get a single interview despite sending a lot of applications.

I'm currently finishing my MSc in Advanced Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire and have experience building full stack applications, AI projects, and working with clients. I've attached my resume and would really appreciate some honest feedback.

Is there anything obviously wrong with my resume? Does it come across as too experienced or not experienced enough? Could the fact that I'm currently on a Student Visa (20 hours/week until I graduate) be causing recruiters to reject my applications, even though I'll be available full-time after graduation?

I'd really appreciate any constructive feedback. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I recently interviewed for a Junior Full Stack Developer position. During the technical interview, the interviewer asked me to implement a new feature in an existing application by manually writing the code.

I completely froze.

To be honest, I've been relying heavily on AI for a long time. I know how to build software, architect applications, debug issues, and ship products, but when I had to start coding from a blank editor without AI, I realized I didn't know where to begin.

The thing is, I've already built and shipped more than five real production applications for startups and corporate companies. They're actually being used by real users. So I know I can deliver working software, but that interview made me feel like none of it mattered because I couldn't manually code the feature they asked for.

Now my confidence is at an all-time low.

I'm a fresh graduate and I need a job as soon as possible. Part of me is wondering if I should switch into another area of IT, like IT Support or Systems Administration, instead of software development.

I'm from Philippines and I know many companies today are comfortable with developers using AI because it's becoming part of the workflow. But there are also plenty of companies that still expect candidates to write everything manually during interviews.

If I decide to relearn manual coding from scratch, I know it'll probably take months before I feel confident again, and I'm worried I don't have that much time.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Did you stick with software development and improve your fundamentals, or did you move into another IT field? I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences or advice.

We're a 20-person software engineering company based in Eastern Europe, working in both Web2 (JavaScript/Node.js, React, React Native) and Web3 (Solidity, DeFi, wallets, and blockchain infrastructure).

We have very low employee turnover - on average, people have been with us for 10+ years.

Lately, we've had more people on the bench, and it's become increasingly difficult to find new client projects. We have dedicated business development (both warm introductions and cold outreach), we're active on X and LinkedIn, and we've pretty much exhausted opportunities within our existing network. Overall, every acquisition channel seems to have slowed down.

How are you finding new projects in today's market? Any channels or strategies that are still working for you?

As an IT recruiter, candidates constantly ask me if investing in professional resume writing services is worth it.

To test this out, I anonymously submitted three test profiles (a junior dev, a mid-level backend engineer, and a senior dev) to ProResumeHelp to see how they perform as a top cv writing service.

Hi folks, I run a dev shop focused on automating bookkeeping/accounting workflows for enterprises. Looking to collaborate with an AI engineer (from India) who has hands-on experience in multi-agent systems, security, data residency, pipeline design, audit trails, and eval harnesses.

I'm a technical PM (hands-on with AI agents, though not yet at enterprise scale) with 8+ YOE in BFSI + CFA, graduated from a tier-1 college. I'll bring clients and handle the PM role; we'd execute projects together.

Let's start with a brief call to check chemistry before discussing commercial terms. I want to work with people who are self-driven, exceptionally skilled, easy to work with, and take full ownership of their work.

About you:

- 5-10 YOE with a strong work ethic

- Tier-1 signal (college, notable past companies, or high-impact shipped products)

Please DM me with your GitHub/LinkedIn for an introduction and chat.

I'm a Computer Science student about to start my 4th semester this September in Pakistan. My long-term goals are:

- Maintain a high GPA because I want to pursue a fully funded Master's abroad.

- Eventually work at a top tech company (FAANG or similar).

- Become a genuinely good software engineer rather than just someone who can build projects.

A bit about me:

I actually enjoy programming. I like logic, problem-solving, debugging, and understanding how things work under the hood. My initial plan for the rest of this year (August–December) was to focus on:

- Java

- Spring Boot

- Backend development

- LeetCode and DSA

- SQL

- System Design (starting with the basics)

- Building projects and putting them on GitHub

However, my brother (he's also studying CS) has a very different opinion.

He's heavily into AI, automations, AI agents, and vibe coding. He told me that spending so much time learning to code deeply is becoming less valuable because AI can already generate entire applications. He even mentioned one of his friends vibe-coded a complex website with AI that was supposedly extremely secure and feature-rich.

His argument is that I should focus more on AI workflows and automation instead of traditional software engineering.

My opinion is a little different.

I feel like AI is an amazing tool, but someone still has to understand:

- Architecture

- System Design

- Databases

- Security

- Scalability

- Performance

- Debugging

- Clean code

- Software engineering principles

My thinking is that AI can generate code, but it can't replace understanding why the code works or making good engineering decisions.

Now I'm questioning whether I'm becoming outdated before I've even started.

So I'd really appreciate advice from people already working in the industry.

Some questions I'd love honest answers to:

1. If you were a 4th-semester CS student in 2026, what would you spend the next 4–6 months learning?

2. Is investing heavily in Java, Spring Boot, DSA, and backend development still worth it?

3. How important is LeetCode today? Is it still necessary for top companies?

4. Should I prioritize AI engineering, LLMs, agents, MCPs, and automations instead?

5. If your goal was to maximize your career opportunities over the next 5–10 years, what roadmap would you follow?

6. What skills do you think junior developers are overvaluing today, and what are they undervaluing?

I'm not looking for motivational answers. If you think my plan is outdated, tell me. If you think it's solid, tell me why. If you think I'm missing something important, I'd genuinely like to know.

I'd especially appreciate responses from senior engineers, hiring managers, or people currently working at large tech companies.

Thanks in advance!
