As a reformed sysadmin, I suggest giving devops a closer look. It's less of the handwavy voodoo buzzword it was a few years ago and has taken root in many orgs as a means to enact real change on the status quo, not only technologically but culturally. It's still engineering, so that part isn't going away. Just pay no mind to the rainbows and glitter, unless that's your thing.
