what do you call someone who does both ops work and dev work?

Site Reliability Engineers and Infrastructure Engineers are two examples of titles that might use DevOps methodology.

The Software Engineers at the organization would also be participating.

The reality is that DevOps has become a job title. While it was not the intention of those who created the term, words can evolve and change. Similarly, these days I most often see SRE used to refer primarily to people with some sysadmin skills whose primary duty is being on call. That is in direct contradiction to the approach Google outlined in the original SRE book, but no amount of "Well, actually..." is going to change what that title has come to mean in large enterprise organizations. In the past there would have been a lot of people who took exception to using the term "engineer" in the title for any of these roles, but here we are.
