Developer/programmer analysts formulate and define scope of systems and objectives with an understanding of software and applications programming and industry requirements. They provide recommendations for developing or modifying applications, code, programs or databases, using research and fact-finding, ensuring that the delivered product meets the user's expectations.

They are sleuths in catching bugs in the software. Excellent programming abilities in common languages and frameworks, such as COBOL, Java, C, C++, C#, Java Enterprise Edition/AJAX and Microsoft .NET is a must. Most employers look for at least a bachelor’s degree in computer science, information science or management information systems and relevant job experience.
Typical developer/programmer analyst duties:
Analyzing business application requirements for functional areas such as finance, manufacturing, marketing or human resourcesWriting code and testing and debugging software applicationsArchitecting and designing technical solutions to solve business challengesDocumenting software specifications and training users
