# Senior DevOps engineers for US teams | Miyagami > Hire senior DevOps engineers for US teams, full-time from €6,400 a month and assessed with AI tools off and on. Shortlist in 3 working days. Source: https://www.miyagami.com/hire/devops-engineers [Home](https://www.miyagami.com/)/ [Hire engineers](https://www.miyagami.com/hire)/ DevOps engineers # Hire senior DevOps engineers Senior DevOps engineers own how code reaches production and what happens when it breaks. Each one is tested on infrastructure review, pipeline permissions and incident diagnosis, first with AI tools off and then with their own agents on. [Get a shortlist](https://www.miyagami.com/shortlist?role=devops-engineers) What we test for How AI changed this role 01 ### The pipeline became the last reviewer Teams now ship more code than anyone can read manually, so automated checks carry weight they never used to. A DevOps engineer decides which of those checks actually run and what gets blocked. 02 ### Permissions are broader than they look Generated Terraform and pipeline changes can introduce access that's wider than the diff suggests, and it's easy to miss. Engineers now need to audit AI-produced infrastructure changes the same way they'd audit production access requests. 03 ### Logs don't always point the right way Incidents increasingly come with observability data that misleads before it helps, and an agent can follow that misdirection at speed. The engineer who spots the wrong signal early is the one who limits the blast radius. What we test for ## How we assess DevOps engineers Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For DevOps engineers, these criteria carry the most weight. AI output verification : Engineers review a generated Terraform or pipeline change that carries a permission broader than it looks, and the scorecard shows whether they catch what the tool got wrong. Debugging : The incident scenario presents logs that point the wrong way, testing whether an engineer can separate a real signal from a misleading one under pressure. Judgement by risk and ownership : In both assessments, the scorecards record whether engineers prioritise the right checks, own the call on what gets blocked and understand the downstream impact of what they let through.

A senior local hire in the Netherlands costs about €9,000 a month all-in, based on a senior software engineer median salary, statutory employer contributions and an amortised recruitment fee. Through us you pay a fixed monthly fee with employment and compliance included, and the pricing calculator shows the two side by side. How long does it take to hire a DevOps engineer? You get a shortlist within three working days and can hire within five. A local senior hire in the Netherlands typically takes 4 months. What do you test a DevOps engineer on? Every DevOps engineer does two sixty-minute assessments in a real codebase, the first with AI tools off and the second with their own agents on. The infrastructure review includes a generated Terraform or pipeline change with a permission that's broader than it looks, and an incident with logs that point the wrong way. You get both scorecards. Other roles [AI-native engineers An AI-native engineer works at the application layer and uses AI tools as a core part of how they build.
