I think it would be more clear when I will explain the roles of DevOps engineer:

  • Understand the needs and challenges of a client across operations and development, and partner to formulate solutions that support their business and technical strategies and goals
  • Develop solutions encompassing technology, process and people for:
    • Continuous Delivery
    • Infrastructure strategy & operations (including cloud)
    • Build and release management
    • Basic understanding of Networking
    • Security (fair understanding of application and infrastructure security)
  • Recommend and Implement solutions. Be totally hands on and have the ability to work independently
  • Ensure delivery of exceptional technical solutions
  • Maintain strong expertise and knowledge of current and emerging processes, techniques and tools
  • Build the DevOps practice within Thought Works and drive our thought-leadership externally
  • Identifies and resolves problems in a timely manner
  • Design, build and maintain the CI/CD infrastructure and tools to deliver Horizon Cloud Service
  • Work closely with development teams to ensure that solutions are designed with customer user experience, scale/performance and function in mind

I'd like to explain a little more about the release manager's role mentioned by Nilesh. 

Release managers work to address the management and coordination of the product from development through production. Typically they work on more of the technical details and hurdles in which a traditional project manager would not be involved. Release managers oversee the coordination, integration, and flow of development, testing, and deployment to support continuous delivery. They're focused not just on creating, but also maintaining the end-to-end application delivery tool chain

Can you please brief about the roles and responsibilities of the automation architect?
answered Oct 16, 2018 by Haider

Automation architects analyze, design, and implement strategies for continuous deployments while ensuring high availability on production and pre-production systems.

Hey @lina, Really appreciate your contribution but can you post this comment as an answer also as it'll be easier for other readers to read and also Automation architect is an important role in devops. This should definitely become an answer.
