    There is no definitive list. Each company will assign its own specific job roles and meanings.

    There is just developer (writes code), technical writer (gives initial ideas for the code development), analyst (gives technical feasibility details) and team-leads (conducts meetings and improves productivity).
    These positions are named in a variety of ways by different companies. But that's pretty much the hierarchy...

    You can also put "senior" or "junior" in front of those, and in the public service your pay scale is a rank of sorts.

    Most of the companies I know have a similar structure for software engineers/programmers/developers.

    Junior software engineer
    Software engineer
    Senior software engineer
    Team leader
    Technical leader
    chief technical officer (CTO)
