As has been said the definition of a GIS dev is far from written in stone, but to chime in from a personal standpoint: most of what I do is data wrangling/analysis with shapely/geopandas for vectors (or pygeos / fiona for performance when data volumes get large, but seeing as Shapely 2.0 just got released one can likely skip this part) + rasterio for rasters as well as parallelising these tasks for performance if needed (ray is great for that) and then performing machine learning learning against the data (mostly with sklearn and torch).

If you want to get into web GeoDjango is a popular option for the backend, but you could also learn to roll your own with flask/FastAPI. You also have some choice of JavaScript libraries for the frontend, [Leaflet]() and [OpenLayers]() are likely the most popular frameworks, but there are others (personally I'd recommend OpenLayers as it's the only one backed by OSGeo as far as I know). It also wouldn't hurt to get familiar with GeoServer or MapServer if you wish to provide OGC-standardized services.

GRASS GIS

GRASS GIS is a free Geographic Information System (GIS) software used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization.

Outside of personal experience, based on second-hand insight: GRASS is an extremely powerful tool, if you're not familiar with it already, and you can use it from the CLI and from Python. If you'd like to step out of Python at some point, I hear Java is used a lot for enterprise GIS, while Julia looks like the language of the future (especially now with JuliaGeo), but that still remains to be seen.
