"Hiring DevOps" (or DevSecOps, if you will) has never made much sense to me. I tried to focus instead on hiring "cloud engineers" who had worked with multiple providers and could demonstrate experience with shared / agnostic technologies like Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes. But honestly it appears to be too little too late--the labor market has spoken, and decided that Dev(Sec)Ops is actually a job title. Sigh.

I think you’re making a valid point.
I use the term DevOps Engineer because it’s what’s familiar, and to be most precise I’d use the term Platform Engineer.
It’s similar to how “astrology” took the good name from “astronomy”.
