No, I don't think so. You don't need to be strictly in an infra-oriented position to do infra oriented work. The most common example is the proverbial senior developer setting stack standards for their more junior team (despite being in a role that is largely oriented towards shipping actual products). Conversely, one could be a product-first infra person, who ships widely useful tools but whose code may be of questionable quality (e.g. someone might duck tape together some mission critical CI pipeline w/ python and bash and no tests)
