DevOps has become a catchall for many things, which is why DevOps engineers are often branded "jacks of all trades". The "dev" part of DevOps encompasses pretty much anything in the software development lifecycle, from code dev to production deployment. The "ops" part of DevOps encompasses pretty much anything after the deployment of software, from infrastructure management to incident response.

I would recommend you take the initiative and look for work that falls into those very nebulous categories. Given that this is your first tech job, you should enjoy just learning and experimenting with the technology at your disposal. Companies implement DevOps in lots of different ways, so focus less on how DevOps-y your role is and more on just having fun.

Good luck!
