This type of engineer probably isn't a good fit for some software projects are heavily replication based - think of replicating a bunch of canned reports with slightly different sort orders, filters, etc. The scope of the project is very well known, there is zero discovery work to be done, they just need to poop out a pile of reports quickly and move on. Also consider if you are an off-shore provider of software engineers to customers who value having remote engineers who will "just do what they are told" This sort of person is likely not going to be actualized in that kind of a situation.
