I was tempted to say "wildmage," but that seems more indicative of someone just poking at magic to see what happens, rather than someone who is down in the source code. Maybe "coder" or "codemage," though that implies someone who knew something about computer terminology, which puts it in Muggle territory, or implies cyphers and some sort of encrypted magic (which would be an interesting idea - magic reinforced against counterspells through complexity rather than force of will - but not particularly relevant right now). Maybe "hexcracker" or "spellcracker" (with the difference between the two being like the difference between a hacker and a cracker)?
The question is, of course, what color hat will our "hacker" be wearing?
