Software engineers of all kinds will play an important role in enabling your digital transformation. However, here we will specifically consider engineers involved with developing the new digital business processes and products that your employees and customers will directly engage with.
These digital product engineers may combine front-end engineering with UX expertise, and will collaborate with designers, back-end engineers, product managers and wider digital transformation teams.
Engineers build digital products, processes, tools and apps – based on the concepts, prototypes and user research of their designer colleagues.
They will be experts in coding the front-end of digital products, including the UI that users interact with, and the underlying interactions and flow that support the user journey. They will also understand how to integrate this with your core back-end systems and data – to enable productive outcomes and actionable insights.
They will use front-end programming languages such as HTML, CSS, or JavaScript – as well as development languages and frameworks, like Swift, Android XML and Python.
