That's very much not the predominant definition, most companies that hire DevOps people just use it as a different name for a more modern infrastructure engineer. Shitty cheap companies use it to hire developers & infra in one role. My personal opinion is that a DevOps engineer is someone who probably once was a developer so he's very well versed in coding, but switched over to infrastructure.
