A Java Developer creates digital software using Java language. You might work on online applications, website development or software design. Java Developers liaise with clients or other stakeholders to determine software needs and create and test new software. You may make changes to existing software or work out solutions to programming issues.
Java Developers should have strong technical abilities and must be able to work well in a team environment. You must be able to think of creative solutions to problems as they arise and should be able to complete your work to a deadline. Java Developers often work on multiple projects, so it’s important you can manage several tasks at one time.
