Software engineering work usually means turning product intent into systems that run in production. Engineers write and review code, break large changes into reviewable pieces, and watch how those changes behave after they ship. Most teams share on-call or incident habits so outages get a clear owner. Collaboration with product and design is part of the job, not an extra. The duties above are the ones this listing actually states for this opening.
