I think I am in the same boat as you, but as the official job description varies from company to company, I think we can agree on a few basic parameters:
Create foundations and patterns that should be followed and enforced
Create Project Templates to be used for varying use cases so engineers do not lose their way
Establish accepted and recommended technologies so engineers do not go off the beaten path
Review code and QA part-time like a mystery shopper to ensure everything established is being followed as prescribed
When you can, introduce CICD pipelines to help enforce and lead the direction of a given project
