Ironically a large part of my current job is writing code that runs on/interacts with a no/low code platform.

Could you please elaborate? What tools do you interact with? Is this mostly backend work, getting the data out of no code tools for further processing?

I work with QuickBase and a few others. Data cleaning/import/export like you said are a big part of it but the larger aspect is client side JavaScript and working with whatever embedded language the platform has.

The other part is building custom apps that run alongside the no-code app, often backed by the API. I've implemented some fun things like transactions that lock so you don't have simultaneous write problems and full text search.

If you are in that business, the distinguishing features that I would look for is being able to use the relational model, an API or way to run code, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, FERPA, 21 CFR Part 11). Native transactions would be a miracle (for instance update a record and associated child records and roll back if validation fails).

Thank you. Didn't know about QuickBase, looks interesting. It isn't cheap though!

I'm thinking about picking up some freelance work in this area. Not really sure where to start
