People in the category you describe are few and far apart in my experience.

To me solving a problem like the one you describe here is one of the biggest joys of working with IT.

Though it seems to come at the expense of being able to design large systems. Not sure if there is a way to be good at both.

How does skill at deep-diving into complex unknown technical problems hurt the ability to design large systems?

I’d guess that taking the time to deep-dive a problem takes away from time to design large systems.
