30 engineers. You lose half that to people managing the infrastructure alone. That leaves 15 code monkeys. Of 2 are dedicated to deployment and 3 to setting up unit tests (that's not many btw) you are left with 10 people. If say for a global platform that's not many at all.

15 engineers for managing infrastructure?? Are they setting up servers by hand?

I would not want you as my boss, that's for sure.

Try covering a 24/7 global service window. I'd think this is on the low end.

And you als need full infra stack knowledge: Server, database, Network, connectivity.

And probably some of these schmucks will get stuck managing the corporate environment too.

This comment smells of outdated software development practices.
