Hire Java Programmers

There’s no clearcut answer. It depends on the engagement model you choose, the complexity of your project, and whether you need an individual programmer or a team of developers. Contact our consultants to hire Java programmers online.

Yes, you will. You can either manage your outsourced team directly or we can assign a Project Manager to supervise the process. In both cases, you retain direct management over the hires, thus being able to articulate your needs one to one.

We recommend hiring Java programmers when you need to build full-fledged applications that can run on mobile and desktop across different operating systems and servers. The solidity and scalability of Java make it a great fit for Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and cloud development.

Yes, we do. We value expertise over everything, that is why we hire senior and strong middle Java developers with relevant certifications.

Absolutely. Each our Java programmer for hire is experienced in collaborating with in-house teams, adapting to your workflows, communication tools, and project management methodologies to ensure seamless integration and productivity.

Every our Java developer for hire is highly proficient in the latest Java features, including Java 8 to Java 17 enhancements such as lambda expressions, stream API, modules, and new APIs. These professionals continuously update their skills to leverage the full potential of Java in various applications.

In outstaffing arrangements, we emphasize knowledge transfer through comprehensive documentation, regular meetings, and collaborative tools. This ensures that our Java developers align quickly with your project’s goals, tech stack, and business logic. Our project managers have a set up framework of knowledge transfer, which takes administrative burden off your shoulders and simultaneously lets the newly hired Java development team get acquainted with the project specifics swiftly and easily.

With us, you can outsource Java developers who are well-versed in designing and implementing microservices architectures, crucial for building scalable and maintainable modern applications. They have practical experience using Spring Boot for its simplicity in developing standalone, production-grade Spring-based applications, and Micronaut for building modular, easily testable JVM applications. Their expertise includes creating individual microservices that communicate through well-defined APIs, implementing service discovery mechanisms, and ensuring data consistency in distributed systems. They also focus on containerization tools like Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes, essential for deploying and managing microservices efficiently.

If you hire dedicated Java programmers from Devox, you can be sure they possess strong full-stack development capabilities. Alongside their deep Java backend expertise, they are proficient in front-end technologies including JavaScript and popular frameworks/libraries like React, Angular, and Vue.js. This enables them to build dynamic and responsive user interfaces that integrate seamlessly with robust Java backends. They understand the importance of a cohesive development process, where both front-end and back-end elements are designed to work together harmoniously. Their full-stack skills also include familiarity with database technologies, both SQL (like MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (like MongoDB), ensuring a comprehensive approach to web application development.

If you hire a full-time Java developer in the US, the “average Java developer salary” numbers you see will depend on the dataset. In particular, Indeed says the average salary is $90,712 per year (as of December 22, 2025), and Glassdoor says the average salary is $117,013 per year (as of December 2025). However, the estimates may differ depending on the project peculiarities and duties.

You can get the best signal from referrals, GitHub/open-source contributions, and applicants who can show you how to use the production systems they own. However, you should still do your own technical review to make sure the quality is high. If you need to find and filter candidates faster, speial outsourcing or staff augmentation agencies may help to avoid mundane paperwork and get a tight-knit team faster.

A good Java engineer in 2026 should be able to work with contemporary LTS Java. Java 25 is an LTS release (it came out on September 16, 2025), and a lot of teams will be using the same tools and features from the Java 21/25 timeframe. They should know about modern concurrency (such virtual threads from JEP 444), the basics of performance, and how to see what’s going on in production.

Don’t just hire individuals; think of it like constructing a delivery system. Set the intended architecture, the definition of done, and the rules for code review, CI gates, test requirements, and release cadence. Then make sure the team can work asynchronously and that everyone knows who is responsible for what (backend, QA, DevOps, architecture, and incident response). Finally, perform a short paid discovery or pilot sprint that concludes with a deployable increment and documentation that you can maintain even if you split ways.

A Java developer’s main job is to work on backend services such APIs, data access, security, performance, and messaging. A full-stack Java developer should be in charge of both the front end and the back end (usually React, Vue, or Angular). They should also be able to handle integration chores like authentication flows, build tools, continuous integration, and sometimes cloud or deployment tasks. This modifies the test for hiring: full-stack applicants must show that they can do more than just “code in Java.” They must also show that they can offer UI and make sure the backend is right.

Give them a realistic task and a deep-dive to foresee what will happen. Or give them a modest task that looks like a production task (API endpoint + persistence + validation + tests), then go over it together and ask them to add to it while following a rule (latency target, concurrency load, or a breaking schema change). This demonstrates if they can design for maintainability, debug swiftly, and make safe trade-offs, not just if they know how to use syntax.

Ask them questions about how they think in production. For example, we would ask them to describe a serious incident they dealt with and what they did to stop it from happening again. Also ask them how they would design an API for versioning and backward compatibility, how they would handle database transactions and consistency, how they would improve throughput/latency and what they would measure first, and how they would structure tests (unit vs. integration) and where they would draw the line. If you utilize Spring, ask them to tell you about a migration they did, such updating Spring Boot and dealing with changes connected to Jakarta, and what went wrong.

If the scope is small and the infrastructure is simple, it can take a few weeks to make a simple MVP. However, it normally takes months to build a production-grade system with all the features it needs, such authentication, roles, audit logs, integrations, observability, CI/CD, security hardening, data migrations, and performance testing. The major reasons are the need for compliance and security work, the complexity of integration, and the need for requirements churn, not Java itself.

Freelance work is great when you know exactly what you want to do and have someone on staff who can guide the project and check the code. However, it’s not always the case. If Java is a big part of your business and you need to own it for a long time, in-house is the best option. One low-risk way to do this is to engage someone on a contract basis and pay them for a pilot sprint where the work is of production quality and can be reviewed.

Make quality something that can be measured and enforced by default. For example, mandate development based on PR, mandatory reviews, and CI checks that stop merges unless tests pass and standards are fulfilled. From the start of the engagement, ask for proof that they’ve used automated testing and production readiness procedures, and include “quality gates” into the process. If you want to test the truth quickly, execute a 1–2 week pilot where they have to ship to a staging environment with tests, logging/metrics, and a clean handoff. Then, as a team, look over the repo.
