I need help defining a role we're looking to hire for.
Our current job postings mention DevOps / Platform Engineer.
The issue is that this is attracting a lot of candidates whose primary experience is as a developer, with some basic cloud experience.
However, this isn't what we're looking for. We're looking for an engineer whose primary experience is in Ops / Sysadmin areas, but uses modern dev tools to manage it, such as IaC, Kubernetes, Ansible, etc.
We have a range of projects on our to do list, and there's some Ops / Sysadmin, cloud infra, SRE, and platform engineering. So we're really looking for someone who has some experience with all of those.
How would you define this role?
