A branch of software development focused on writing low-level code that operates close to computer hardware, such as operating systems, device drivers, compilers, and embedded firmware, typically using languages like C, C++, Rust, or assembly. Unlike application programming, it demands close attention to memory management, performance, and hardware constraints. System programmers are employed in areas like OS development, networking infrastructure, and embedded systems.
