I have one of those jobs, which is why I brought it up :P I am a software engineer and provide security direction to a team of "pure" software engineers (who are slowly getting better at security). Sometimes I help them with the implementation of things.

Other security adjacent roles can be found in areas like web browsers, compilers, and kernels; there's a massive amount of software engineering work that goes into securing existing systems that goes beyond trying to break things. Most large companies will have many people working in such roles.
