Is working with kubernetes a devops or swe job?

I see several infrastructure teams in companies working on projects to allow the whole company to use kubernetes.
My question is, is this more of a SWE role or a devops/SRE role? I generally feel like managing kubernetes is for devops/SRE, and I’m worried that going down this path would make my future roles lean more heavily towards devops and SRE.

A SRE at Google and other companies not only needs to pass the regular SWE bar but also have in-depth knowledge on Linux, networking, etc.
If you work on Kubernetes infra, it’s likely you’ll have to do a lot of custom stuff like controllers, automation, etc. so there’s still a fair share of SWE work to be done
