Low-code Developer

Also known as: Low-code Engineer · Citizen Developer · Platform App Developer

Builds applications and workflows on a low-code platform, connects existing sources and delivers solutions for well defined business processes.

The low-code developer delivers working applications within the limits of a platform and works closely with the user who runs the process. Unlike a regular developer, the complexity lies not in code but in configuration, integrations and the boundaries of the platform. Selection underrates this role as clicking work, while manageability is the real issue: without a feel for data model, permissions and post delivery support, a set of isolated solutions emerges that nobody can take over.
