Depends. If you’re talking about FAANG and other product based companies then you are expected to be as good as developer. If it’s some other service companies like big 4 then very little.
Anyone with an "engineer" title pretty much writes code at FANG. There's only so much manual stuff you can do. The only difference is what you're code does. If your code provides functionality for users, you're an SWE, if you're code tests products then you're in SDET, if your code eases operations, you're an SRE
Yes you will be expected to code just as well as a developer. While you're not writing "app code" so to speak, you will be writing a lot of test code and have to have dev experience to make and maintain test frameworks. This will also include some dev ops experience for getting your tests setup to run in cloud pipelines as well
