Do you know any developers with expertise in cloud, containers, or serverless computing that are looking for a new job? The low nationwide unemployment rate, coupled with a shortage of skilled engineers is prompting some vendors to offer “finder fees” to followers on social media that can recommend new hires.
One company that is offering cash to resolve their hiring dilemma is Sylabs, which is offering $2,500 to non-Sylab employees that refer someone that the company eventually hires. Sylabs launched earlier this year and is offering an enterprise-focused service using the Linux-based Singularity container platform.
“The buzz around containers has helped with recruiting, but we still need more,” explained Sylabs CEO Greg Kurtzer. “People want to be associated with exciting technologies and game-changing companies.”
Sylabs’ website currently lists a handful of positions, including DevOps engineers, software engineers, core operating system engineers, quality assurance engineers, security engineers, and full-stack web developers.
Sylabs is not the only one feeling the pinch. Shannon Williams, co-founder and vice president of sales at Rancher Labs, said the current surge in interest around cloud native and containers was causing a worker shortage similar to what was seen in the past with the growth of virtual machines (VMs), big data platforms, and cloud.
“While thousands of people are getting trained and starting to use containers in productions, the demand across the board is incredible,” Williams said.
Williams explained that most engineers are getting multiple offers, and that attracting talent was becoming especially difficult in “high-demand markets like New York, northern Virginia, and San Francisco.”
Nate Taggert, CEO of Stackery, said that developer squeeze has also impacted the serverless space as “there’s not yet a deep talent pool of experience.”
