I recently moved from software dev to devops and this sounds about right! I'm supposed to understand the product teams entire codebase, write the tooling, create/update terraform for the infra, implement CI/CD stuff plus act as some kind of IT guy with AWS access.

Don't get me wrong, it makes a nice change from pure development, but it's clear that in most places, 'DevOps' is not so clearly defined.

Yeah, likewise. Alongside that I'm also expected to do backend development. I feel like I'm allowed no downtime or get any "easy wins". I wonder if that can quicken burn out onset

I for one am rather fond of just calling it "one man IT department" or a "generalist" (for whatever reason it looks like this has become a dirty word lately)

Sounds like a previous job where I was informally titled 'Head of stuff'
