"Platform Engineer" has started to grow as a name for pretty much this. An engineer that builds the platform that all things run on. For example, the k8s clusters, the observability stack, has on-call, and builds the internal tools and automations (called the IDP, or internal developer platform).

Apparently not everyone gets it. I once went to an AWS meetup and introduced myself as a "platform engineer", but not everyone understood what I did =)

But personally, I like "platform engineer" more than "ops".

IDP already has a very important meaning as a part of any platform :)
