back engineer

An *ultra boss-level nerd that can unlicense, break, and optionally repurpose software (and/or hardware) that other nerds made.
The nerdness level of the product creators shall not matter to the back engineer; it is considered pwnable by the back engineer, whether the soft/hardware in question was shipped by basic low-tier/mediocre nerds, or by their superior mega-nerds and the like - the back engineer will unpack and dissect it with as least effort as required, because efficiency.

The back engineer may enjoy the following (not necessarily in that order): writing better code than u and ur dad combined, shitty memes, repurposing products, occasionally making stuff crash, caffeine, and/or gaining unfair advantage while learning new curse words from other players online.

Since we know back engineers are better programmers than most qualified nerds, they are known to ship highly stable and robust shit that will may very likely wreck other nerds' life's, turning them very dark and miserable, if those happen to attempt to back engineer the already-back-engineered shit themselves.

* ultra-boss = the very final ranking a nerd could possibly achieve in a single lifespan
- We can't go sleep now, we got some back engineering work to do.
- So what if you don't publish the source? They will just back engineer it.

engineer

Engineer is a soft-spoken, amiable Texan from Bee Cave, Texas, USA with an interest in all mechanical things. He specializes in constructing and maintaining Buildings that provide support to his team, rather than fighting at the front lines, making him the most suitable for defense. The Engineer's various gadgets include the Sentry Gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that restores the health and ammunition of nearby teammates, and Teleporters that quickly transport players from point A to point B.
Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer — that means I solve problems.
Not problems like 'What is beauty?' because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
I solve practical problems.
