There are a decent chunk of EEs/CpEs doing work that bridges hardware and software. For example, they might be writing VHDL or Verilog for an FPGA and also writing C/C++ for the microcontroller that interfaces with it. Also, there are lots of professional software developers who studied Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering in college. Many schools historically had all their CS classes and faculty within their EE department.
