+1 to not changing it.

If you are in an organization that lets you influence your title then your
title probably doesn't matter within the organization. If you really feel
you want to change it then look for some research about which words are
more valuable in job titles and add some of those. I believe SAGE did a
salary survey that included some of that information, some job boards also
make suggestions. Keep in mind that the value of a title changes
year-to-year so having "DevOps" in your title now won't help you in a few
years when the term goes out of fashion.
