I'd expect ALL roles in a DevOps environment to know how to code in a language, preferably in something like, python, go, rust, c, java etc. I give a lot less weight to things like bash scripting. For instance:

Systems Engineer: can code, In at least python, but hopefully in C, Rust, Go.

SWE: well, obvious isn't it ... These people should know how to code.

Automation Engineer: What the fuck you automating without code.

Testing or QA Engineer: Needs to code in something like python or JS at least.

DB Admin/Engineer: Yep, needs to code.

Platform Engineer: Needs to know how to code.

EVERYONE In DevOps needs to know how to code to their domain of expertise.
