I'm in a similar situation but with less experience than you. After a couple of years of being a data scientist I'm realising that I enjoy building stuff a lot more than the other aspects of the job. So for my next job I'm looking for an ML engineer position - that way I can do more of the kind of work I like but it also means that I can leverage my existing knowledge and experience and I don't have to start from scratch.
