Am working in Data Engineering and get the exactly same treatment:

Have to use some half-assed YAML based solution that compiled into Airflow DAGs. I'm basically a YAML "engineer" wondering what should I write in my resume: "I implemented hundreds of DAGs in YAML", while the other team bags all the credits and pat on back because they made a "great data platform".

BTW how does one get into a real SRE job? Or maybe I should just realize I'm not good enough for most of the "better" jobs out there, and should stick with whatever I have and hop once 4-5 years until retirement.
