The long and short of it: The same Profile(NNID) is not allowed to play digital games on two different switches at once. Furthermore, a digital game can be only played by the profile who bought it if it's NOT on the system the purchase was made on.

However, for the system you actually purchased the digital game on, any profile on that physical switch can play the game.

The workaround for this (if you're both going to play on the same profile) is to keep one of your switches in airplane mode during the duration of your play. If a game doesn't have an internet component, this works well.

For my brother and I, when we wanted to play stardew valley on our switches together even though only he owns it, we were able to do that with me accessing his profile on my switch (since his profile bought the game) and him using another profile on his switch (since that was the system he purchased the game on).
