Have you considered marketing yourself as a devops engineer? From the sound of it you already have most if not all of the required skills, and IMO this makes the transition easier as well as plays on your existing strengths (i.e. you’re not a would-be developer who has to prove he can code, you’re a seasoned ops engineer who can help the dev team get their ops shit together). Speaking as a CTO, I would love to add to my dev team someone who knows what it’s like to be woken at 2am on Sunday morning because of a stupid bug and who’ll go into the code base to eliminate anything that triggers a sudden wake up call.
