sxikanto:If you're making a statement that has two nouns together, such as:This is not a case of two nouns being together. 'Computer' is like an adjective in that sentence as it describes the type of programmer.
We have a computer programmer.

Mustelvulpo:You could state it as a compound but "komputilprogramisto" is an awfully long wordI'm sure our German speaking friends would love that one!
The word's perfectly fine, but I suppose words can at times get a bit too long for comfort...The other suggestions in this thread are also good:
- Komputila programisto
- Programisto de komputiloj
