Contribute a job title. Can we name them all?
This is a DEV Discuss thread — it can be as open-ended as we want. 😅

Depends on what one considers to be IT.
I've worked at companies where software development was part of IT. Well, called EDP at that time, but eventually EDP was rebranded IT.
And at companies where software development (for line-of-business applications) was not part of IT.
IT that kept the phones working, the LAN working, the WAN set up & firewalled, the file servers running & backed-up, the SQL servers working, the SQL administrators keeping the SQL systems efficient & with the proper topology for the business needs, the printers working & printer servers working, workstation acquisition & setup & installation, authentication servers, HTTP servers, Wiki servers (intranet & internet), email servers. IT that worked in cooperation with corporate facilities, with business units, with vendors. IT that minded licensing, and compliance, and security, and policy, and worked with the legal department.
IT is a big umbrella.

</thread>😆Frankly, most of the female or LGBTQ+ devs I've met are much better than the guys, so the guys just talk over them in meetings and never ask their opinions.
I'm sure I'm missing a few titles, but these cover most of the people I encounter in enterprise.
Community Manager!
While this isn't strictly IT, it's common for tech companies to hire someone to help manage the community that builds up around their product, service, or area of expertise.
Oftentimes a community manager will work with a dev rel team to try and figure out the best way to serve the community, whether that is helping to develop a community content plan, conducting user research, finding ways to bring new folks into your realm, or just keeping folks engaged. All are important!
From my experience, it's a challenging but rewarding position!

Seemingly increasing numbers of titles year by year... but due to what? Over-complication? Declining skill levels? Something else?
Probably because of the lack of standardization of what to call someone, even though many of the responsibilities overlap quite a bit. It's not like the medical or law fields where there are widely-accepted credentials.
I once had job title of "Digital Platform Manager", which was a very fancy way of saying "Web developer" with a couple other small, non-coding responsibilities.
IT Technician
Systems Administrator
Database Administrator
IT Manager
Application Developer
Software Engineer
Software Developer
Senior Software Developer
and those are just the titles from my CV!
Software Engineer, IT Support, System Analyst, System Administrator, DevOps.
