Does anyone know what role or title the the author might have had there? They mentioned DevOps but then also in another paragraph they mentioned front-end development.

If you write code at Amazon you also are responsible for the availability of your service. So, you rotate in as an on-call.
There is no central SRE teams, SysAdmins, etc. There is no throwing it over the fence.
There is nobody better to fix a production issue than the person who wrote the code which broke. Plus, you are more motivated to write better code.
Yes I am well-aware of how SDEs work at Amazon. However there is a role at AWS called SDE - System Development Engineer which is very much DevOps which is very different than SRE and the reason I was asking.
