There are several reasons for the perceived decline in Azure DevOps Engineer jobs:
Field Maturity: Many organizations have already implemented their DevOps pipelines and practices, which reduces the need for immediate specialists focused solely on Azure DevOps initial implementation.
Shifting focus: Industry is moving to broader "Cloud Engineers" roles emphasizing expertise on multiple platforms (Azure AWS GCP), automation and security, as well as a deeper understanding of infrastructure code.
AI and Automation: AI and automation are accelerating tasks that were traditionally performed by DevOps Engineers. These include infrastructure provisioning, pipelines for deployment, and basic troubleshooting.
Other Clouds Competing for Cloud-Related Roles: The competition from other clouds is increasing.
Economic factors: A general economic slowdown or an industry-specific slowdown can affect hiring for all tech roles including DevOps.
Important: This is a general observation. Job market dynamics vary widely depending on the location, industry and company requirements.
While Azure DevOps is still a valuable skill set, the changing nature of cloud computing, and the growing emphasis on cloud expertise, are contributing to the shift in demand for "Azure DevOps" Engineer roles that are more narrowly defined.
