I asked for alternative suggestions and offered what we use. If you have suggestions of alternative titles you've successfully used to hire without slowing things down I'm all ears.

The most important skill is knowing to not fall for the bait that is this question so that you can actually work.

But if you want Software Engineers that will take up DevOps skills and responsibilities, surely you'd want to advertise this DevOps culture instead of a role? Advertising this as culture is likely to attract people that want to work in a place without a DevOps/SE stratification.

I think the only reason to advertise for it as a role, is when your tooling is too complex and you've given up looking for Software Engineers that could do it on the side. Which is fair enough, I guess, though providing a Golden Path nowadays is probably more popularly done by hiring Platform Engineers.

I'm all ears when you're on brake.
