Career in IT

Hello! What do programmers in providers usually do? Want to know what they are doing there? In the same place after all only it is necessary to administer a network, and no more. Just today I met with a classmate from infancy, he was not very willing to talk to me, saying that I work as a programmer. It became very curious. What can be programmed in a provider?

Answer 1

Maybe just the position is called a software engineer, but in fact - a system administrator.
But if, after all, a full-fledged programmer at the provider, he probably writes scripts for loading / saving configurations from equipment + setting up billing and monitoring software.

Answer 2

write billing
write services for users
write a website for a provider

Answer 3

Automation.
