DevOpsDays Dallas 2026
Every sponsor booth at DevOpsDays is a hiring manager with a budget.
2195 Research Row, Dallas, TX 75235
What this event is
Two-day community conference for platform, SRE and infrastructure engineers, hosted at Southwest Airlines' campus. Sponsors from Diamond down to Community tier staff booths, and most of them are there to recruit as much as to sell.
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
Backend, platform, cloud and SRE engineers with 1+ years, and new grads who can talk about a real deployment pipeline.
Nobody hands out offers at a conference, but the sponsor list is the best Dallas infra hiring map you will get all year. Read the sponsor tiers before you go, pick five, and ask each booth one question: who on your team is hiring right now. Get the name, not the QR code.
Show up prepared
- 1Pull the sponsor list from the event site and shortlist five companies with Dallas engineering teams.
- 2Have a 30-second story about one pipeline, outage or migration you owned.
- 3Search each shortlisted company on GiraffyReach the night before so you can say which open role you mean.
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
Start free13 weeks of building real AI agents and automations, so the answer to "what have you built" is a link, not a story.
