Having worked in devops type areas, I tried to re-brand myself as a "platform engineer" because I felt it described my work better than "operations". I've known others in similar situations going by the title "productivity engineer". Essentially, devops has become a broad buzzword with very little meaning. I have frequently heard it used to simply mean "ops,but you write code instead of just babysitting servers". I feel that productivity and platform engineering are much more descriptive and accurate.
