© 2020 IEEE. There are high demands of software engineering now a day due to the digital evolution. Having good software engineers to the team is an advantage for the business. There are many research indicates that there are relationships between software engineer position and personal traits. The work position requires people with specific traits to achieve work. So this paper proposed the K-question position mapping technique to find a suitable job position for the candidate. The candidate needs to complete the Five-Factor Model (FFM) test to explore their dominated traits. Using the model data from the FFM test of people with various positions, the dominated traits are compared to each traits data with software position. The proposed technique suggests the appropriate software position for the candidate. Besides, the proposed approach has been compared with other techniques such as regression analysis, and the k-nearest neighbor. The result shows that the proposed approach returns the appropriate position more accuracy than the other.
