At this level, initial assignments are designed to develop competence in applying established programming procedures to routine problems. This Computer Programmer performs routine programming assignments that do not require skilled background experience, but do require knowledge of established programming procedures and data processing requirements, and works according to clear-cut and complete specifications. The data are refined, and the format of the final product is very similar to that of the input, or is well defined when significantly different, i.e., there are few, if any, problems with interrelating varied records and outputs.

The Computer Programmer II maintains and modifies routine programs; makes approved changes by amending program flow charts, developing detailed processing logic, and coding changes; tests and documents modifications and writes operator instructions; may write routine new programs using prescribed specifications; and may confer with EDP personnel to clarify procedures, processing logic, etc.

In addition, the Computer Programmer II may evaluate simple interrelationships in the immediate programming area, confers with user representatives to gain an understanding of the situation sufficient to formulate the needed change, and implements the change upon approval of the supervisor or higher level staff. The employee is provided with charts, narrative descriptions of the functions performed, an approved statement of the product desired (e.g., a change in a local establishment report), and the inputs, outputs, and record formats. This programmer reviews objectives and assignment details with higher level staff to insure thorough understanding; uses judgment in selecting among authorized procedures; and seeks assistance when guidelines are inadequate, significant deviations are proposed, or when unanticipated problems arise. Work is usually monitored in progress, and all work is reviewed upon completion for accuracy and compliance with standards.

Computer Programmer III

As a fully qualified Computer Programmer, this employee applies standard programming procedures and detailed knowledge of pertinent subject matter in a programming area such as a record keeping operation (supply, personnel and payroll, inventory, purchasing, insurance payments, depositor accounts, etc.); a well-defined statistical or scientific problem; or other standardized operation or problem. The employee works according to approved statements of requirements and detailed specifications.

While the data are clear cut, related, and equally available, there may be substantial interrelationships of a variety of records and several varied sequences of formats are usually produced. The programs developed or modified typically are linked to several other programs in that the output of one becomes the input for another. This Computer Programmer recognizes probable interactions of other related programs with the assigned program(s) and is familiar with related system software and computer equipment, and solves conventional programming problems (in small organizations, may maintain programs that concern or combine several operations or users, or develop programs where there is one primary user and the others give input).

The Computer Programmer III performs such duties as developing, modifying, and maintaining assigned programs; and designing and implementing modifications to the interrelation of files and records within programs in consultations with higher level staff. This programmer monitors the operation of assigned programs and responds to problems by diagnosing and correcting errors in logic and coding; and implements and/or maintains assigned portions of a scientific programming project, applying established scientific programming techniques to well-defined mathematical, statistical, engineering, or other scientific problems usually requiring the translation of mathematical notation into processing logic and code (scientific programming includes assignments such as using predetermined physical laws expressed in mathematical terms to relate one set of data to another; the routine storage and retrieval of field test data; and using procedures for real-time command and control, scientific data reduction, signal processing, or similar areas). This programmer tests, documents work, writes and maintains operator instructions for assigned programs, and confers with other EDP personnel to obtain or provide factual data.

In addition, this programmer may carry out fact-finding and programming analysis of a single activity or routine problem, applying established procedures where the nature of the program, feasibility, computer equipment, and programming language have already been decided. Job tasks may require the incumbent to analyze present performance of the program and take action to correct deficiencies based on discussion with the user and consultation with and approval of the supervisor or higher level staff. This programmer may assist in the review and analysis of detailed program specifications, and in program design to meet changes in work processes.

The Computer Programmer III works independently under specified objectives, applies judgment in devising program logic and in selecting and adapting standard programming procedures, resolves problems and deviations according to established practices, and obtains advice where precedents are unclear or not available. This employee may guide or instruct lower level programmers; supervise technicians and others who assist in specific assignments; work on complex programs under close direction of higher level staff or supervisor; and may assist higher level staff by independently performing moderately complex tasks assigned, and performing complex tasks under close supervision. Work at a level above this is deemed Supervisory or Individual Contributor. Completed work is reviewed for conformance to standards, timeliness, and efficiency.
