These people are SREs (source: am one) and there is a reason everyone is trying to hire a team of them. It’s rare to find much teaching on complex systems in school so the hiring pipeline is fraught with peril and low tier companies understand the buzz but not the job. In my experience SRE is mostly people wander in and realize they’re in the right place, rather than setting out to be good at the required skills like managing complex systems and large scale incident response.
