- evaluate the software and systems that make computers and hardware work
- develop existing programs by analysing and identifying areas for modification
- integrate existing software products and get incompatible platforms to work together
- create technical specifications
- write systems to control the scheduling of jobs or to control the access allowed to users or remote systems
- write operational documentation with technical authors
- maintain systems by monitoring and correcting software defects
- work closely with other staff, such as project managers, graphic artists, UX designers, other developers, systems analysts and sales and marketing professionals
