A CodeSmith developer uses the CodeSmith software to automate coding tasks, reducing time and errors. They generate code for applications, typically for databases, and can create templates for repetitive coding tasks. They are responsible for debugging, modifying, and improving these templates. The developer also ensures the code meets the project requirements and complies with coding standards. They often work with other developers, providing them with tools and scripts to streamline their work. CodeSmith developers also maintain documentation of the code and the development process. They often have to understand multiple programming languages and development environments.
