"A software engineer’s job scope is often determined by a project, product, or engineering manager. At the highest level, a software engineer is responsible for researching, designing, implementing, and supporting software solutions to various problems. How they actually execute on those responsibilities is heavily influenced by a myriad of outside factors, such as how far along a product is in development, how large their team is, and the programmatic infrastructures that the software engineer is proficient in. A software engineer’s duties and responsibilities fall into four main categories. These loosely come together into a process called the “Waterfall Model”—one of the first, original approaches used to complete software engineering projects throughout the course of a software development lifecycle. Since then, other methodologies such as the Agile framework have gained popularity."
