The domain of computer science is one of the most diversified fields when it comes to the jobs. Within computer science, there are multiple disciplines such as programming, quality assurance etc. Since computer science is much more diversified than any other field, there are different jobs within the same discipline as well. As an example, there are dozens of computer programming jobs exist in the segment of computer programming. Let’s explore computer programming jobs diversity further.

There are a few titles given to the professionals in computer programming jobs. First of all, it is the programmer or in other words ‘coder’ is the one who write the executable program. This level of individual is not expected to know the technology entirely. These professionals are required to know the computer programming language used in developing the software. Syntax and the correct use of programming concepts and techniques are the main expectations from this specific category of computer programming jobs. These professionals are not held responsible for bigger modules; rather they are responsible for smaller program components or controls. Depending on the experience, they may be allocated higher responsibilities. In addition to that, it is not essential for programmers to know the ‘big picture’ of the solution they develop. This category of computer programming jobs can be considered as the lowest level in computer programming jobs.

Software designer is another job which is found in computer programming jobs. Usually the most experienced programmers move on to this career path. Although the programmers are required to write program code every day, the designers seldom write any code. Designers are more focused on the module level integration, interoperability, and technical correctness of the modules. Designers advice and guide the programmers in writing proper code and using correct approaches to develop the software. The designers are supposed have a greater understand of the tools and technologies used in developing the business solution and will have to take corrective actions when required. Of course the designers are interested in the ‘big picture’ and the final customer delivery, but the correct functionality of the business modules is their main priority.
Architects are the top most job category in computer programming jobs. They know the business solution top to bottom. In addition to that, they bear the responsibility of the entire software in terms of technical correctness and implementing the agreed requirements.

Architects are interested in the technology used in developing the business solution as well as the final outcome of the project. They advice the designers and programmers on correct practices and also introduces new trends in technology to the project or the company.
