What are the roles and responsibilities of a Software engineer?

Software engineering aspects are used for large and intricate software systems rather than single applications or programs. While a programmer or software developer is responsible for coding, testing, and implementation of a software, a software engineer is responsible for the design a systems i.e. plans, deploys and constructs networks etc.

Roles of a typical software engineer are:

• Design and management of software systems.
• Testing plan and assessment of new software applications.
• Code writing and evaluations.
• Optimizing the speed and scalability of software.
• Consultation with customers, engineers, security experts and other parties involved.
• Introducing new features to internal customers and stakeholders.
