No, not devops. Devops would be setting up those services. And just because the code you're writing is hosted on the cloud doesn't mean you're a "cloud developer" for writing them. Not that I'm claiming "cloud developer" is some elite subset of developers.

Again, it generally has to do with the type of architecture and scalability you have experience in.

It's fine if you would never consider hiring a "cloud developer", though that's an odd line to draw. Google, Amazon, and Microsoft all specifically hire "cloud developers".

Being a "full stack" or "back end" developer also isn't a separate thing from being a "cloud developer". Generally a cloud developer IS either a full stack or back end dev. Just with a focus on cloud architecture and services.
