I have a question regarding my job position and its spelling - I develop mobile apps, what would be the correct spelling of my job position to put on my LinkedIn page:

  • Mobile Application Developer
  • Mobile Applications Developer
  • Mobile App Developer
  • Mobile Apps Developer

Or something completely different?

  • And are there any differences?

  • In my mind the first two are more conservative or formal, while the last two are more modern and informal. There is a technical distinction between the singular an plural forms but neither one inhibits communication

    Just a bit concerned about the abbreviated form, M.A.D.

    While either singular or plural is understandable, I think the singular form is much more common in job titles. See, for example, an "Account Manager" in sales, or a "Truck Driver". This is not always true, as it is more common to see "Tools Developer" over "Tool Developer" in software, but that is a rare exception. In most cases, the noun object of a job title's verb is left singular (e.g. "Connector Developer", "User Interface Developer", "Chat System Developer")

All of these are correct and clear, but the most typical description for professionals in your field is "Mobile Application Developer."
