Backend and APIs. Low-level programming. Certain kinds of data science, though possibly not visualization (sonification, though...) Basically anything that doesn't require checking visual state, like front-end development or creating GUIs. I'm RP as well, and I do a lot of full-stack type stuff for now...as long as you can get the gestalt of the page you can often still do front end type work as a low vision person, though probably from a more full-stack perspective than as a dedicated designer or full stack person. You could also start as a frontend dev and slowly slide toward being an accessibility specialist, that's actually pretty viable as someone with real front-end knowledge is more valuable in accessibility.
I personally gravitate toward a command-line and text heavy way of doing things, makes me decent at deployment (comfortable with the Linux cli environment) and I can pull designs and modify them to do frontend stuff. I tend to like backend work, databases, APIs, and creating documentation the most. That last is really just relative to other devs, still not my favorite thing, ha.
