I am not a civil engineer, but I can imagine a situation where a wooden bridge could be used as a stopgap to pull off a more tricky construction. Maybe not in the 21st century however, and I don’t think your analogy is perfect. It might be more like wanting to hire an architect who is also great at civil eng. The skills definitely synergize and can help prune the architect’s search space of good designs, but such a candidate is probably just going to go for an engi job, and lean on their architecture skills there: for example an algo dev that can do mock-ups.
