DevOps requires tooling and infrastructure, and at a certain size, a dedicated DevOps Engineer optimizes that tooling. What's wrong with that?
replyMost places mean someone who does development and operations. They see it as a term for someone who has responsibilities on both sides, not a specialty.
replyIn my experience DevOps Engineer has been infrastructure + operations while having a good grasp on code but writing application code was almost never part of the role. Almost every position had a coding interview round though.
