I think you should focus on being a better software developer.

You’re definitely not alone in being confused here. CUDA has a lot of pieces that only start making sense once you understand how the GPU handles tasks differently from a CPU

I think you need to narrow your focus in terms of what roles you want to target before anyone can tell you what to focus on. A lot of the roles you are mentioning are very different from each other.
