If you're interested in combining your coding skills with customer-facing/problem-solving responsibilities, Sales Engineers are in huge demand. Companies are desperate to recruit for this combo of talent because it's so rare.

I'm the founder of Flockjay (YC W19 - tech sales bootcamp that helps people break into tech, without code). We have students with coding experience who are doing incredible things - companies can't wait to hire them. Happy to chat more.
