Unless you work on graphics, physics, signal analysis, sound, trading, data science, computer vision, machine learning, etc... it's hard as a software engineer to be exposed to math past the basics, meaning that you can survive without having to go beyond arithmetic. You might still get some exposure to discrete mathematics once in a while. Statistics is always there to help you, some people avoid it, some others embrace it.
