Having worked at home in my bedroom for the last couple of years I'm beginning to feel particularly claustrophobic being sat inside all day long!
Examples I can think of:
- Outdoor robotics engineers
- Wildlife monitoring
- ...and that's about itI think there would be some swe that would occasionally need to go to timber mills, mines, sea ports, air ports, oil rigs , farms etc… prob to install or troubleshoot critical systems. I doubt it would be often though.
IoT, of course there's a lot of indoor development, but for example most LoRa/LoRaWAN use cases would require field tests.
in general security sensitive environments and everything to do with tier-1 support for military hardware
though you might end up marooned in barracks on an airfield in Angola or something,not sure if that counts as "outdoors"
Last year, it often meant working according to weather patterns, so that I could be outside on sunny days.
This might be an alternative way to achieve your goal.

That’s interesting. Maybe some systems are so remote they might need full time software engs nearby. Although I probably wouldn’t want to live that remotely
If you really want to be outdoors, that would be my recommendation - skill up as a licensed engineer.
Get a setup like Stephen Wolfram, and any software job can be an outside job: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-prod...
