Definitely #1, and the ad is fairly up-front with that.


To echo what a few other comments have said, seeing "DevOps" as part of the responsibilities for a role is an immediate turn off to me. I want nothing to do with DevOps. It isn't interesting work (to me) and there are currently a lot of opportunities to do interesting work. DevOps also isn't challenging work (to me), it is simply frustrating work because I do not want to learn it, I just want to complete my dev task and move on to the next.


I've been having the same problem. It's actually a lot to ask of someone to be a solid coder but also willing to do on-call support. The direction we're looking is to replace "DevOps" with "Platform Engineering" and retain an MSP to do on-call tier 1 and 2 support.
