Think of it less as "I need to get out of data science" and more "I want to get into X". Because the answer is going to be pretty different about how to get into, say, systems engineering or project management.

If you are good enough at software engineering to do a generic software engineering job, then I suggest applying to one of those in the standard way. It is much easier to get into all of those areas once you have some software engineering experience.

If you are not good enough to get a different job right now that would satisfy you, then I suggest talking to your current employer about moving your responsibilities in a different direction.
