Currently serving as the process manager and quality specialist of a 12-person (all of our software org) agile team dedicated to delivering bespoke client solutions.
I write automated test code, review and test feature PRs, project-manage contracted talent, and play support however else I can in my remaining free time. And yes, I'll write code for features too if there's nothing else to do.
