Devops is a nice skill to have for a backend developer, however I'm not sure it is fair on your friend if you take a role you don't really want and might not perform well in.
I agree with input's input, regarding devops skills being highly beneficial for a BE dev. It's knowledge that has gotten me better pay, and better job security.
