Hire a remote Java Developer
Skills we screen for in a Java Developer
What we screen
Mid–senior operators who own specs → working Java code → shipped product, not ticket theater.
- Java / JVM services — Spring or equivalent APIs that are maintainable.
- Data & messaging — SQL/NoSQL and queues used correctly under load.
- Testing & CI — Meaningful coverage before prod risk.
- Code quality & reviews — Readable PRs; tests where they matter; no silent regressions.
- Debugging & ownership — Prod issues owned end-to-end — not “works on my machine.”
- Delivery with product/design — Clarify ambiguity; ship increments that users can feel.
How we vet
How we vet before shortlist:
- Portfolio / code review — Real shipped work, not toy repos alone.
- Build exercise — Can they design and ship a small feature under a clear brief?
- References — Confirmed delivery with eng leads, PMs, or founders.
- Delivery under pressure — Clear cuts when scope and deadline collide.
- Founder-ready communication — What’s shipped + what’s next, not buzzword theater.
