Ask HN: Where should I advertise to find a great DevOps person?

It may be harder to find DevOps industry specific (unless you're say in the financial/energy sectors/health care sectors which have specific operational requirements. (eg: security, etc).<p>Look at Stackoverflow careers, and specifically contributors in the "Server Fault", "Super user", and "Unix/Linux" sections.<p>Linux boards on google groups and local Linux meetups.

I run a mailing list specifically for software related jobs (including DevOps). Check it out here (<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5150829" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5150829</a>). Its free, and an effort to reduce spam from recruiters.

It's not industry specific, but there are probably alot of DevOps on HN, so you could use the "Who is hiring"-thread: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5150834" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5150834</a>

I'd suggest craigslist.org. One major pet peeve is BS in job postings. Don't ask for 5+ years with a technology that has been around for 3 ;)

Email sajobs@lists.lopsa.org<p>LOPSA is a professional association by and for system administrators.

I'd recommend <a href="http://devopsweekly.com/" rel="nofollow">http://devopsweekly.com/</a>
