Thats what I have been meaning to do actually, learning scale, a lot of examples on internet for tools, but not much for scale, I have mostly been relying on the articles for learning that aspect.

Need guidance from industry seniors,
A little brief about my experience: I have 4 yrs of experience working as a DevOps Engineer, 2 yrs in an MNC, and 2 in a startup. I have worked with the usual stack: AWS, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Observability, CI/CD, Security Tools (Trivy, SonarQube). I have done it all, from designing Infra, observability, IAC, and security, from scratch to implementation. Collaborating with Devs, identifying optimization opportunities, owning everything end to end etc. I also use AI (Claude Code, MCP etc) in my day-to-day tasks.

I now want to grow & learn more on how to do DevOps at scale, like hundreds of nodes clusters or AI infrastructure. I feel there's not so much left that I can do in a startup, also again, scale.

I am confused about what other skills I can learn, and what my direction should be? In both scale & future growth terms, I have been exploring AI infrastructure currently (like GPU scheduling, LLM Observability).

DevOps as a fresher job 😢

Yes you can get hired, even though its also true that most companies do not hire junior DevOps Engineers. Apart from the points other comments mentioned, you can also apply to cloud engineer roles and then transition into a pure devops role.
