Is it okay to change your role title in your resume?

Is it okay to change your role title in your resume if it doesn't clearly reflect what you do at work?

My role title is DevOps but 80% of my work is backend development. Is it okay to remove DevOps from my role title?

Will this affect me if I get another job and they find out my role title was different than stated through background checks?

I don't recommend removing devops altogether but rather include both with a pipe or something like that.

Example:

Backend Developer | DevOps

And when HMs ask, which they definitely will, you can explain it.
