Isn't that basically "backend" with lots of experience around automation tools?

I have only worked at startups, so I guess I wear all hats. Here's what I understand:

- frontend - presentation bits, can further separate into developer and designer for UX and logic respectively - backend - APIs, database interaction, concurrency, etc - full stack - backend and frontend - dba - tuning databases - server admin - tuning OS - devops - automation, with a splash of backend and server admin

Does that sound about right? If so, full stack and devops overlap quite a bit, and must full stack should be able to handle devops tasks, so wouldn't "full stack" be sufficient to fill your ranks?

My devops experience hasn't been much backend at all. Mostly scripting, server configuration & stand-up, etc. But I consider backend API programming.
