(Note that responsibilities for someone with a particular job title may vary dramatically from those of another person with the same title. Therefore, these job descriptions provide a basic understanding of the following roles.)

Software Design Engineer
Our Software Design Engineers turn ideas into the world's best software. Working with other product team members from the beginning of the product cycle through release, our Software Design Engineers design and implement sophisticated products using the latest and most advanced engineering technologies in the industry.

Software Design Engineer in Test
Deeply involved in every phase of the product cycle, our Software Design Engineers in Test devise and implement test plans and strategies. They write the code that tests the code that goes into the world's best software. It's a specialized skill that requires the ability to effectively second-guess our other developers. Engineers in Test have bottom-line impact on product strategy, features, and design.

Software Test Engineer
As the strongest advocate our end-users have, Express Software Test Engineers develop and execute test plans and scripts designed to detect problems and ensure the quality and success of the world's most influential computing technologies.

Program Manager
Maintaining the big picture. Weighing risks against costs. Understanding many disciplines. Keeping a variety of specialists on the same page. Sewing all the components of a project together to make world-class software projects happen on time, on budget. That's Program Management at Express Software.

Product Manager
What are consumers looking for? What features do we need to be competitive? What distribution channels do we use? How do we position the product and its message? Product Managers consider these and other questions while developing key product marketing strategies. They create the visibility, the "buzz", necessary to carry a product to and through launch, and provide marketing programs to grow market share after the launch.

Marketing Manager
Marketing Managers at Express Software are senior-level specialists who possess intimate knowledge of both product planning and product marketing. They develop marketing strategies and programs and are responsible for controlling the marketing "message", keeping it on target and unified within product families, across divisional lines, or within specific markets (e.g. Retail or OEM channel).

Product Planner
Each release of every product is planned for maximum impact in areas of product quality and sales. Product planners perform quantitative and qualitative customer research, identify needs and desires, and analyze the competition to determine which features will better serve the end user. They also help prepare the marketing team for product launches.

Designer
Creating friendlier software interfaces. This is a just an example of what Express Software Designers do to enhance the computing experience for millions of people throughout the world. Through iterative design, prototyping, testing, and other means, our designers affect the way people interact with their computers and each other.

User Education
Providing extremely useful information to large audiences is what our User Ed group does. As products reach their markets, end-users need information that teaches them how to use the products and get the most from them. Providing this highly specialized form of communication is up to the Writers, Editors, User Assistance Designers, and Production Specialists on our User Ed team.

Technical Writer
As members of our User Assistance community, Express Software Technical Writers perform a variety of tasks in different areas. These can include researching and writing technical documentation, online documentation, wizards, dialog boxes, welcome screens, reference documentation, and operation guides, as well as performing UI text reviews, and other functions. Like writing to a big audience?

Programmer Writer
These are experienced technical writers with programming skills in some of the following areas: C++, ATL, COM/COM+, Visual Basic, Java. Working closely with the development team, they provide a range of expertise from technical documentation to strategy development for the best possible presentation of information to creating and testing prototypes. Ultimately, Programmer Writers are responsible for making sure the end-user gets the information they need from a program, when and where they need it.

Developer Support Engineer
These are the people our top developers turn to when they need high-level support to implement solutions and/or solve some of their toughest dilemmas. Engineers in our Developer Support Group work with Enterprise technologies, Internet technologies, and others.

Technical Sales Representative
These are the sales professionals who create and close sales opportunities, develop strategies, deliver presentations, and manage accounts to meet and exceed industry-leading revenue forecasts. Technical Sales Reps provide active leadership within the sales department and serve as an escalation point for other team members.

Software Design Engineer

By working with clients to solve business issues, Express Software Attorneys support the development of the world's most sought-after software. Areas of expertise range from intellectual property licenses, copyright, trademark, patent and antitrust issues, to immigration, taxes, and other areas. The legal opportunities available at Express Software are the most exciting, relevant, and high profile that you'll find in any corporate structure today.

Senior Financial Analyst
Multiple businesses at Express Software rely on astute financial analysis. Senior Financial Analysts contribute to Express Software's planning processes, provide proposal and business analysis, deliver monthly reporting, and provide competitive analysis to business unit managers. Determining financial impact via key business metrics, they evaluate new business opportunities, identify efficiencies, and implement process improvements.

Systems Analyst

Assessing customer requirements, providing design analysis and cost/benefit/risk analysis, and researching alternative approaches, our Systems Analysts provide each business department with the most optimal systems solutions available — many of which become models that businesses outside of Express Software will turn to.

Usability Engineer
Coming up with cool product ideas is easy. But do they work for our users? Usability engineers work throughout the product cycle to understand our users' activities, to conduct studies of design ideas with users, and to work with designers and program managers to develop easy-to-learn, easy-to-use, and enjoyable products. Utilizing field studies, iterative lab studies, and a host of other research methods, usability engineers are integral to creating great products.

It's amazing what happens when talented, passionate people have resources, flexability, and an oppertunity to think for themselves.
