Coding level for non developer profile

In which world do cloud platform engineers do coding. I have come across many profiles which need expertise in cloud platforms like compute, networking , security , devops , terraform which is fine. But who did development for 2 or more years and became cloud engineers .Do HRs of these companies are delusional ??

If coding then what level of coding is required , do I need to expertise in DSA kind of stuffs or just intermediate python knowledge and what kind of programming questions should I expect.?
