Over the years, I’ve discovered a that what I really value is fully grasping a problem domain, deciding what customer problems are worth solving, and then aligning a team on a common vision of appropriate systems architecture to solve those problems. As a result I’ve ended up doing exactly this: I tend to move to organizations where I am at liberty to do this while still having the role of an individual contributor.
