I've worked at companies where software development was part of IT. Well, called EDP at that time, but eventually EDP was rebranded IT.
And at companies where software development (for line-of-business applications) was not part of IT.
IT that kept the phones working, the LAN working, the WAN set up & firewalled, the file servers running & backed-up, the SQL servers working, the SQL administrators keeping the SQL systems efficient & with the proper topology for the business needs, the printers working & printer servers working, workstation acquisition & setup & installation, authentication servers, HTTP servers, Wiki servers (intranet & internet), email servers. IT that worked in cooperation with corporate facilities, with business units, with vendors. IT that minded licensing, and compliance, and security, and policy, and worked with the legal department.
Passionate full stack developer, course author for Educative, book author for Packt.

I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
While this isn't strictly IT, it's common for tech companies to hire someone to help manage the community that builds up around their product, service, or area of expertise.
Oftentimes a community manager will work with a dev rel team to try and figure out the best way to serve the community, whether that is helping to develop a community content plan, conducting user research, finding ways to bring new folks into your realm, or just keeping folks engaged. All are important!
From my experience, it's a challenging but rewarding position!

Opinionated dick who believes he (always a he) knows a lot but knows nothing
Dev who just phones it in
Dev who shows up, socializes to keep others from working, then collects same paycheck
Dev who complains bitterly about every new idea but never has any of his own
BA who just gets in the way and is constantly on about unimportant stuff
Product owner or manager who hasn't got a clue, but never thinks to ask the experts
Employees of all stripes who think work is intended to be a great place to socialize (or even mate) and that work is optional
Frankly, most of the female or LGBTQ+ devs I've met are much better than the guys, so the guys just talk over them in meetings and never ask their opinions.
I'm sure I'm missing a few titles, but these cover most of the people I encounter in enterprise.
Graduated in Digital Media M.Sc. now developing the next generation of educational software. Since a while I develop full stack in Javascript using Meteor. Love fitness and Muay Thai after work.
Ingo Steinke is a Berlin-based senior web developer focusing on front-end web development to create and improve websites and make the web more accessible, sustainable, and user-friendly.
A Freshmen’s year old who is a nerd about coding, tech, computers, and software etc. Love to code, program and help out people and collaborate. Just a dev hanging out while playing a game of life.
I'm a software developer who writes about Laravel, JavaScript, Rails, Linux, Docker, WordPress and the tech industry. Follow me on Twitter @tylerlwsmith
The boss's kid who seems to get paid to fix printers and restart computers when they're acting funny. He's not quite IT, but that's all he does and is still paid to be there 20 hours a week.
I am a professional DevOps Engineer with a demonstrated history of working in the internet industry. I am an avid Linux lover and supporter of the open-source movement philosophy.
Probably because of the lack of standardization of what to call someone, even though many of the responsibilities overlap quite a bit. It's not like the medical or law fields where there are widely-accepted credentials.
I once had job title of "Digital Platform Manager", which was a very fancy way of saying "Web developer" with a couple other small, non-coding responsibilities.
Depends on what one considers to be IT.
