You nailed it.

I've spent 10+ years in SaaS businesses, and I've simplified my job description to: I work for a software company.

It does not say anything about what I do, it could mean engineering or accounting or... And if/when people want to know more, they just ask.

Bring rather vague helps everyone get just what they want. I always show up happy to answer and open for questions but also offer them exit paths regularly.

What sort of work do you do that involves software and accounting? Disclaimer: I work in accounting in industry.

That is a misunderstanding. When I say "I work for a software company", there are a myriad of job positions, not only software. Accounting was just another example, but also legal, HR, sales, etc. It is up to the audience to assume (or ask, resp.) what I specifically do.

I happen to be a software engineer, currently employed to manage an enginering team, since you ask.

I see now where I misunderstood. I took that to mean the roles that you performed in the course of your work despite your job title, not that a variety of job roles are available in specific companies such as SaaS. Thank you for clarifying.
