DevOps is hybrid mate some companies are looking for former sysadmins who also knows software development environment, release management, monitoring & alerting etc all the Ops stuff etc and also be able to do these things with code/automation.

Some companies looks for a practically a software dev who know servers and did a bit of production server side support, did the deployment in pre-devops era etc. These guys can generate code faster and very useful if Business Intelligence pipelines, other data streaming pipelines(mainly bringing your products usage insights data to business departments) then companies look for developer background people who they can also use their database and backend coding skills.

Im sure there would be people who would value your "Dev" skillset but you just have to find the right DevOps role.

Is your struggle is with getting the roles or just finding roles that its day to day activities and overall responsibilities align with your wishes?
