1) Apply for that job. I almost didn't apply for my current job because I thought I wasn't qualified. I'd made an assumption without even trying. My fiancee persuaded me to in the end. Turns out I've found a great team and manager who has helped me grow into the job I have.
2) Don't feel limited to the job title you're given. If you get employed as a Software Dev and want to help with something else in the company, pitch it to your team/manager. I do not regret asking to help the marketing team with their work, and it has given me new ideas about how to approach both my development and how to help promote the work my company does from a technical standpoint.
Whole heartily agree with the second point! That's how I got to my current position in my company, found a niche I like, helped where I could, and then my manager asked me if I wanted to do that particular work more. Has pushed me to grow a lot faster than I would have otherwise.
