STEM Career: Pilot Software Developer

Pilot software developers are the frontline programmers for new and updated software products, often called pilot programs because they are not yet being marketed. These developers determine the program's goal, write the code, test the software, and provide it to select users for further testing. They then incorporate feedback from those initial users before the software is made available to others.

Tools of the Trade

Programming software

Education Required

Coding training; likely a bachelor's degree in computer science
