You want to look for Software Tester / Software Test Engineer positions.
Microsoft used to hire a lot of people from all walks of life for this position. However a decade ago or so they combined this position with the Software Design Engineer in Test position, which is a combination of software tester and a software engineer who works on test automation or testing infrastructure. There are teams who really value SDETs who are good at bug finding and consider them worth their weight in gold.
The tricky thing is that it's very hard to train someone for a software tester role. You can train someone to go through the motions, but people who are really good at it show amazing creativity and will find many bugs that an experienced but average tester will not. This is definitely a field where a 10x engineer concept is not a myth.
