I think I'm similar (wanting a mix of technical and business problem solving) but I feel like this is the minority of jobs - though I don't have a good way to identify this.

Especially at larger organizations, I've found that the dev role is very much of an "implementer", that your job is to take the design, spec, architecture and put it into place as close to the above as possible.

You're much less likely to be actually sorting out the why/how of the system.
