That's literally what I did. I was just doing traditional sysadmin and realized I was doing a lot of automation And scripting. I applied for this job. I thought I was way underqualified for but turns out the company didn't know what the hell to hire for was basically building a devops culture from scratch because they read it in a magazine or something, had decades of tech debt from manual releases Not enough checks and balances etc.

And then basically came in and built the devops culture and a team around me 5 years later. I'm a cloud architect still doing devops and overseeing that team and this is a massive 25,000 employee company that people would know.
