Programmer,
To have a job as a programmer is quite hard. They need to have an understanding of some compute languages like HTML/C++ other languages like that and to be able to create code (scripts) that will be used to make a game function.

A programmer is responsible to do any coding needed to make the game functional. Programmers usually work in teams that help one another to complete sets of code. If the play testers find a problem in the game and it is related to the code then it will be put back into the programmers hands to fix. The lead programmer needs to control the team of people to get the maximum efficiency and work to each others strength.
