Successful engineers know how to use the right programming languages, platforms, and architectures to develop everything from computer games to network control systems. In addition to building their own systems, software engineers also test, improve, and maintain software built by other engineers. "I get excited about anything that involves solving problems, whether it be figuring out how to optimize a certain part of an existing application or entirely coming up with new applications to solve certain needs," says Murtadha Al-Tameemi, a software engineer at Meta. "Problems in general stimulate my brain and give me a great sense of satisfaction." In this role, your day-to-day tasks might include:

Designing and maintaining software systems Evaluating and testing new software programs Optimizing software for speed and scalability Writing and testing code Consulting with clients, engineers, security specialists, and other stakeholders Presenting new features to stakeholders and internal customers
