Is this a SWE role or an Ops role? Is experience here likely to lead into SWE or Ops roles, or elsewhere? /u/MildlyVandalized CSCQ protests reddit

The JD describes it to be a ‘systems design’ or ‘architecture’ junior role. It is related to utilities.

From what I understand, the main stack is as follows:

– Bash (Solaris)

– Python

– C++ (and Objective-C)

– Java

Some of the common tasks that juniors participate in include:

– OS hardening

– C++ compilation, debugging

– Onsite visits (to utilities plants)

I believe there is more to this, but these are the core aspects that I know about the role. I know that Sysadmin/Ops/Devops tend to use bash + Python scripting a lot, and I was wondering if this position might overlap with with those, purely because of the similarity in technology used?

Would like to know if:

– it sounds more like a SWE role or an Ops role

– experience here would lead more to SWE roles or Ops roles
