What do Java developers do?

Java is not only an Indonesian island, but also the name of one of the most widely used programming languages. Those programmers who use this language are called Java software developers. Since Java (not to be confused with the programming language JavaScript) is compatible with all operating systems, Java developers are often sought after.

Java developers are primarily responsible for the development and enhancement of websites and applications as well as games with Java. This also involves constant optimisation, testing and code review, maintenance and documentation as well as the detection and correction of errors (bugs).

So what does a Java developer need to be able to do?

When looking for Java programmers, formal qualifications such as degrees should not be given too much importance, because there are many qualified career changers here. Nevertheless, a degree in computer science or training as an IT specialist or software developer is a good basis for working as a Java developer.

The most important requirements for a job as a software developer for Java include - not surprisingly - mastery of the Java programming language and an understanding of software architectures in the JEE environment. However, this is by no means the end of the story: knowledge of other programming languages such as C, C++, PHP or database skills (such as MYSQL or Oracle) and web services (such as Jax-WS, Jax-RS and REST APIs in general) as well as web technologies and protocols (HTTP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS) are also frequently expected. Experience with frameworks such as Spring, Hibernate, Vaadin or Wicket also comes into play. Java software developers should also be familiar with agile methods such as SCRUM and Kanban.

Overall, analytical thinking, abstraction and problem-solving skills are important in addition to IT expertise.

Java recruitment: Why the search for Java developers is so difficult

Java is one of the most widely used and popular programming languages and has the great advantage of being compatible with all operating systems. This means that Java developers can be deployed flexibly. So it' s no wonder that Java developers are being sought everywhere.

How does alphacoders recruit qualified Java developers?

" How do Java developers tick?“ – that is a question human resources managers from Flensburg to Munich ask themselves in their desperate search for suitable candidates. Considering the virtually empty applicant market, they often hire headhunters for Java recruitment. In order to find the right candidate, it is essential that the recruitment agency understands what a potential candidate is capable of, but also what motivates him or her.

To find the right Java developer, you should therefore literally speak their language. Not all Java programmers are the same and the search for the right candidate should take this into account.

alphacoders is the interface between companies and Java developers. Our clients benefit from our network, expertise and partnership. We know what makes Java developers tick!

We really appreciate working with alphacoders because they really have a clue about tech and take time to understand who we need for MOIA and for our individual teams.

Susanne Hasenstab
Head of HR - WEITBLICK® GmbH & Co. KG

Last year we worked with alphacoders for the first time. The cooperation was characterised by professional and very personal support, as well as profound contacts within our target group. What was special for us was that we were actually only looking for one PHP developer, but because of the but due to the suitable selection of candidates we directly hired 2 developers and that within only 3 months. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.

Tihomir Sablic
Head of IT - heyworld GmbH

We have been working with alphacoders for more than 2 years now and have had very good experiences so far. The relationship is characterised by trust, solution-oriented advice and open communication at eye level.

Maik Gronau
CEO - GWA Hygiene

alphacoders has become an integral part of our tech recruiting. We have been working together for over 2 years now and have already been able to successfully fill several different positions in IT.

We are very happy to have alphacoders at our side.

Dr. Janine Nastelski
People & Culture Manager — Webmatch

Very professional, always transparent and honest cooperation. Extremely good understanding of the market including recommendations for action. Completely different approach than classic recruiting agencies.

Christina Bombeck
HR Managerin - Fundis Reitsport

We have commissioned alphacoders to search for 2 web developers. The challenge is that we are active in a special niche in e-commerce with the topic of equestrian sports and ideally the ideal candidate should also identify with our sport. In addition to good communication and consultation, we jointly implemented an effective hiring process. alphacoders not only managed to attract many women for this position, but we even managed to hire someone with a love for our sport. We were able to fill both positions with alphacoders and would hire them again anytime.

Franziska Mehlhorn
Head of People & Organisational Development — Picdrop

We have been working successfully with alphacoders for some time. What I personally like very much is the uncomplicated and personal exchange, as well as the quick occupation time, which has only lasted an average of 3 months so far. alphacoders understands their trade and we are very happy to have them on our team.

Tobias Schumacher
CTO & Co-Founder — Closelink

Working with alphacoders was our first experience with a recruiter. We particularly liked the transparent communication and the summary of the search in the form of reports and figures. This helped us to better understand the candidate market and gain deeper insights into recruitment from IT specialists. We can recommend alphacoders 100%.

Cornelius Lauritzen
CEO — Glambou

With alphacoders we have found a strong partner for our tech recruiting. The feedback loops were short and efficient. Our company, our tech vision and our requirement profile were quickly understood and implemented. The management of the interview process went fabulous for us as well as for the candidates.

Julius Martini
CEO — TimberTom

We have already commissioned alphacoders twice to support us in tech recruiting and they convinced us with the first candidate for both positions (frontend & fullstack developer). The cooperation was very uncomplicated, at eye level and characterized by direct communication. We are very happy to have alphacoders on our side.

Oliver Kühne
CTO — Monsterzeug

Professional and goal-oriented, I would work with alphacoders again at any time. I've recommended them both internally to other departments and to external stakeholders.

Jan Thonemann
Abteilungsleiter Forschung / Entwicklung — PROSOZ

Finding the right people is one of, if not the most key component to an organization's success. At alphacoders it's not about quantity, but about quality.

The short weekly exchange ensure that your ideas are understood and that you are always up to date.

Ralf Fohrmann
Head of Human Resources - prophete

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a NAV developer. The special thing about this was the complexity of the market situation: it is a very special position with a very narrow pool of candidates and a very loyal target group. We solved it through trusting and effective communication and adjustments to the profile. One key was certainly that we opened up for a fully remote position and were thus able to find and successfully recruit the right candidate.

Stephanie Werk
Senior Tech Recruiterin - WERTGARANTIE Group

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a PL/SQL developer. Thanks to the professional support of alphacoders, we were able to fill the position in a very short time. The fact that we worked very closely with the tech recruiters and that we had the same understanding of the market and the special requirements played a major role in our success. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.
