About
Keeping systems running: cloud, deployment pipelines, monitoring, on-call. People come from software engineering, system administration or a networking background, and many move back into software engineering later, which is the graph's most common next step. Java, JavaScript and data structures show up in the skills before the move, so it is closer to software than it looks. Pune, Bengaluru and Hyderabad have the largest concentration.
