Tester
Checks software, mobile applications, websites, etc. for compliance with specified requirements. The task of this specialist is to find all possible 'bugs' that may occur when a user interacts with a programme, application, etc. After the study, the tester writes a report and sends the product to the developers to fix the bugs. A manual tester reproduces the user's actions in manual mode. Automated testing consists of testing applications using software.

  • The iOS developer develops applications for Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch;
  • Android developers create applications for a wide range of devices that run on Android: smartphones, tablets, watches, fitness bands, e-books, media players, game consoles, TVs, etc.
Product analyst
As the name suggests, a product analyst monitors the health of a product and helps to improve it. They examine metrics, explain changes in performance and find the best solutions for product development. The main task of a product analyst is to find development opportunities. They should be able to gather, process and analyse information, conduct research and visualise data. This category of specialist is very much in demand. Any company, including Magenta Favorita Software Development, which has trained and nurtured a product analyst, does everything possible to ensure that the specialist develops and is satisfied with the working conditions.

UI/UX Designer
The UX designer is responsible for the accessibility, logic and beauty of a website or application. Their work determines whether the customer can achieve the desired result quickly and comfortably. The UX designer analyses the user journey and thinks about the structure of the product. The UI designer visualises the structure of the product: they are responsible for how its sections and pages will look. Separate UX and UI designers are rare, more often it is one specialist.

Python Developer
Python is one of the world's most popular programming languages. Its advantages are simplicity and speed of development. Python is widely used for server-side development of websites and applications, as well as for machine learning, simplifying business processes, etc. Python is easy to learn because of its simple structure and syntax. Even if you are far from IT, learning this language will not be very difficult.

White hat hacker
This is a cybersecurity specialist responsible for defending and securing computer systems. Their job is to find and fix vulnerabilities in systems in time to prevent information leakage.
