It seems they were using a software developer position to lure in qualified candidates for the position and then try to stitch them over to a development operations position. My interview with the hiring manager consisted of almost no discussions of future application development projects which was a little concerning as I was looking for real details as to what application development they wanted in the future. I pressed for details but was not really able to get a lot of information on any specifics. Instead, we had a third discussion of how to find and analyze memory leaks for on-prem and cloud applications.
