Exploring the hot new job title: “Visual Programmer”
No-code is taking the world by storm. The movement largely started with no-code web development, enabling anyone to create a site, regardless of their level of technical skills. Now, no-code has touched practically every digital industry.
For example, Webflow lets you build beautiful websites, Memberstack lets you create paid memberships, Zapier lets you build integrations, and Obviously.AI lets you deploy AI models. All without code.
Visual Programming Jobs
The “No Code Founders” community features around 2,000 members, building innovative, creative applications with no-code. The thousands of no-code founders out there all need help launching their products, and are hiring for job titles such as:
- Bubble Developer
- Shopify Developer
- WebFlow Developer
- WordPress Developer
- No-Code Marketer (Skills: Webflow, Zapier, Airtable)
- No-Code AI Developer (Skills: Obviously.AI, Excel)
All these job titles — and far more — fall under the umbrella of “visual programming.”
Where to Find Visual Programming Jobs
If you’re looking to ride the Visual Programming wave, here are five relevant sources to keep an eye on:
Twitter is a surprisingly active place for companies to post job opportunities, so be sure to check it out, even though it’s less traditional than the other sources.
How Much You Can Earn
Since no-code jobs aren’t as established as other roles, it’s hard to find official statistics, but salaries can run pretty high.
The typical Webflow developer charges a minimum of $2,000 for a site that can be done in under a day, while most charge more (some recommend up to $40,000).
There’s no doubt that tools like Webflow can drastically increase your earnings as a web developer, as you’re able to produce higher quality work in a fraction of the time.
The same holds true with many other fields, from app development to artificial intelligence.
Build a Portfolio
In the no-code space, there’s no universal way to get a job. There aren’t any “no-code bachelor’s degrees” or “no-code certificates” — it’s up to you to prove your skills.
In general, a portfolio is a great way to display your skills in any industry. For instance, if you want to become a Webflow developer, you could showcase your Webflow projects, apply to become a Webflow template designer, or even share designs on Dribbble.
Similarly, if you want to become a Bubble developer, you could get active in the Bubble forum and offer to make sites to build your portfolio.
If you want to become a no-code AI developer, you could build models in Obviously.AI and share them on Medium, no-code communities, and places like Twitter.
Summary
Ultimately, the no-code industry is evolving rapidly, now with thousands of founders building no-code products, who are hiring for a variety of “visual programming” jobs.
The time is ripe to learn no-code skills and enter the field.
