If you’re a business leader, or a traditional IT operations person you might have a question as to what a software engineer is and what they can do for you.
Software Engineering or Software Development as a field is a branch of computer science that is concerned with:
- Designing Software
- Developing Software
- Test Software
- Maintain Software
Which the Software Engineers achieve through utilizing their knowledge about programming languages to build software that does something.
Generally, that software does a task for someone, or enables someone to do their work more efficiently. The engineer part is because your responsibility will lie in ensuring that systems are communicating correctly, enforcing standards and infrastructure, updating as required, setting architecture, and working with other types of development teams.
Within software engineering, you can have may roles and responsibilities. You can be an application developer or a software developer, someone who is typically more engaged with client facing code. Meaning code end clients will interact with.
You also can be a DevOps engineer, which is a more administrative person in the Software Engineering team, they are more concerned about the delivery of code. Building CI/CD pipelines, managing technical projects, etc.
Data Scientists are software developers or engineers, who is more concerned about usage of data. Data scientists are project managers of projects related to utilizing data rather than systems integration. Pushing the data to the limits for valuable business insights. The data scientists will work with a DevOps engineer at times too, however they are capable of being their own project managers as data scientists are more niche.
Lastly, you can be a project manager. Not necessarily one concerned with writing the actual code, but the software engineer in charge of making sure deliverables are on their way. Managing the problems that arise along the way using project management techniques or working cross-collaborative with other teams.
