DevOps

The ever-competitive DevOps talent market is entering a new era – is your business prepared? Persistent skill gaps and widespread digital transformation are proving difficult to navigate for today’s hiring managers, especially when it comes to hiring DevOps engineers.

DevOps is the workflow management philosophy that changed tech jobs forever back in 2007. Seventeen (or so) years later, the once-radical way of working is still evolving.

It’s evolving quickly too, making it tough to pinpoint the kind of talent that will suit your company’s unique needs. Thankfully, the specialist DevOps recruiters at Trust in SODA have a wealth of experience in connecting top DevOps talent with the opportunities they need to shine. 

This means helping leaders design their workplace for difference. DevOps is an inherently intersectional way of working that thrives on diversity – it’s what inspired us to launch our Women in DevOps community back in 2017!

When you partner with Trust in SODA, you gain access to our global community network, enabling you to broaden the talent pool like never before. If you’re looking for consistency, speed, quality, diversity, and sustainability in your hiring partner, our DevOps specialists have you covered.

Senior Site Reliability Engineer
Senior Site Reliability EngineerWe've just had a really exciting role go live with one of our fast growing scale-up clients from the US. They've had an SRE team established here for a couple of years and currently looking to expand further. It's a Google style SRE department looking for engineers with the mix of software engineer (ideally in Golang but Java also used) and DevOps (Kubernetes, Terraform). Their environment is all AWS based so you need to be very comfortable working in a cloud based environment. GCP/Azure experience considered too but AWs is ideal. The two standouts here are the engineering culture (high independence, trust, lack of micro-management) and the flexibility.The role will be remote but you have to be based in Ireland. If you think this sounds interesting, drop across your CV or contact Adam Whitehurst at Trust in Soda for more info.

ComAve are building the first-ever super app designed exclusively for sports fans, turning passion into rewards. ComAve is redefining what it means to be a fan, blending technology, gamification, and loyalty rewards to create a one-of-a-kind ecosystem where fans always win

After landing £100m in funding, they were experiencing serious growth and had no talent or HR function. Trust in SODA started with recruiting the HR team and then became the talent function. Setting the strategy for all five of the Comave businesses, we provided a linked ecosystem for talent attraction and management. 

We successfully recruited across Sales, Technology, Engineering, Operations and Marketing, from Junior to C Suite including the COO, across Europe, covering Eastern Europe, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and France, as well as the UK. Following the successful completion of multiiple placements, we are delighted to now be supporting Comave in North America and South America. 

One of the most important requirement to Comave is speed of delivery, and the SODA team have delivered every time. In addition we have supported with an EOR Solution, and implemented a Workable ATS for the team there.
