videreudvikler

Videreudvikler is a Danish term used in information technology and product development to describe a professional whose primary task is to continue and extend the development of an existing software product or system after its initial release. The role focuses on adding new functionality, improving performance and stability, and adapting the product to new requirements rather than building a brand-new system.

Typical responsibilities include analyzing user feedback and requirements, planning and implementing feature updates, fixing defects, refactoring code for maintainability, ensuring backward compatibility, and coordinating with product owners, UX designers, testers, and other developers. They often work within an agile environment, participating in sprint planning, code reviews, and release management. The role may involve working with legacy systems, integrations, and data migrations.

Skills and background: strong programming experience, proficiency in relevant languages and frameworks, debugging and performance profiling, and understanding of software architecture and design patterns. Knowledge of version control, automated testing, continuous integration, and deployment processes is common. Education typically includes a computer science or software engineering degree, though substantial hands-on experience can qualify. The videreudvikler role exists in software companies, public sector IT departments, and digital service teams where ongoing refinement and expansion of a product is required.
