What type of Java Developer are you?

When building an app, as a Java Engineer or Java Software Architect, you work with all stakeholders to identify their needs. You and your team set to work to develop in a future-proof way. Instead of 'just building', you oversee and supervise the entire process. Therefore, your communication skills better be as good as your developer skills!

However, building an app from scratch might not actually be where your passion or challenge lies. Instead, you might be more interested in delving into existing apps to maintain or modernise them. This way you can make a difference within an organisation and ensure satisfied app users, for example as a System Engineer.

The description says it all: as a true all-rounder, you know a fair bit about everything. You are a Core Java Guru who has grown up with the Java programming language with extensive knowledge and experience in the field of application development; back-end, front-end, old and new frameworks, Java, Scala, Kotlin... the works. This makes you an interesting Developer for any employer.

However, you might be that needle in the haystack with knowledge of a specific integration tooling, such as ESB, Fuse or Camel. For example, for maintenance of a unique distribution platform based on Java, which was developed tailor-made for the client back in the days. Your specialist skills are often needed for temporary assignments in international teams with like-minded specialists.
