You are looking at jobs where you are paid to deliver something and where coding is just a tool towards that end, but not the deliverable itself.
For example, consider computational research in a domain like healthcare: the job is to find new insights about patients or diseases that allow you to develop better treatments. Most of the time is spent on coding data analysis pipelines, but the truly vauable professional also knows enough about the domain that they are able to interpret the results, conduct follow up analyses and talk at eye level with medical doctors and biologists. The skill ceiling for this kind of position is thus quite high since you need to be proficient in three distinct domains (coding, biology, statistics).
