10 years ago, every company I worked for had a sysadmin, but in the last 5 years, I've seen the trend move toward cloud services like AWS and developers doing light sysadmin duty as well. My company is up to 35 people now, with 10 devs, but no sysadmin. If we hire one, we would still have 10:1 ratio of devs to admins. If we're typical, you'll see an order of magnitude higher number of dev jobs than sysadmin jobs out there, and they will likely be later stage. I would try to make the switch.
