What is the difference between Java Developer Programmer vs Software Engineer?

AspectJava Developer ProgrammerSoftware Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Computer Science, Java certificationsBachelor's or higher in Computer Science, relevant certifications
Work EnvironmentDevelopment teams, tech companies, software firmsDevelopment, design, and testing teams across industries
Employer & Industry UsageTech companies, startups, enterprise softwareIT firms, tech departments, consulting firms
Common Search & ComparisonYesYes

Java Developer Programmers focus primarily on coding, debugging, and maintaining Java applications, often working within development teams. Software Engineers have a broader role, involving system design, architecture, and integration across various platforms. While both roles require similar credentials and work environments, Software Engineers typically handle more complex system-level tasks, making the roles distinct yet overlapping in many technical skills.

Job description

MUST HAVE:

  • 6-7 years as a Java Developer  java 11-21 & Spring Boot
  • Strong AWS experience (hands-on preferred)
  • Messaging systems experience (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SQS)
  • Experience building and maintaining backend services in a production environment

Nice To Have:

  • Exposure to Infrastructure as Code (Terraform – nice to have)
  •  Familiarity with AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex) – highly valued

Job Description:

Team: Histology Pod – Connect Program (Corporate IT)

About the Program

  • The Connect program is a multi‑year modernization initiative migrating legacy COBOL-based LIMS systems to a modern Java + Spring Boot + Angular + AWS stack. The system spans 35 medical disciplines, with Histology and Cytology as key modules. This role joins the Histology pod, supporting both a backfill and new feature expansion as additional lab workflows come online.
  • You’ll build in a brownfield environment: extending and evolving a complex, high-dependency system where disciplined sequencing and architecture choices matter.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and deploy RESTful microservices with Spring Boot on AWS, following enterprise standards and secure-by-default practices.
  • Collaborate directly with business stakeholders via the liaison team to understand lab workflows and translate them into scalable, reliable services.
  • Promote engineering excellence: code quality, testing discipline, observability, secure coding, and CI/CD best practices.
  • Mentor engineers on design choices, code reviews, and modern Java practices.
  • Champion AI-augmented development (e.g., Cursor, CodeWhisperer, Cloud Code) to improve productivity and delivery speed.
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies (daily standups, sprint planning/reviews) and contribute to continuous improvement.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • 6+ years backend engineering experience building enterprise-grade systems.
  • Strong Java (11–21) fundamentals; modern Java features and idioms preferred.
  • Spring Boot and REST API development experience (required).
  • AWS (critical must-have): 3+ years hands-on experience (prefer 5+) with services such as Lambda, S3, SQS/SNS, API Gateway, ECS/EKS/EC2, IAM. AWS depth matters more than generic “cloud.”
  • Brownfield systems experience: evolving existing platforms, respecting constraints, and sequencing changes to avoid system-level dependency conflicts.
  • Solid understanding of application security (e.g., Spring Security, OAuth 2.0, OIDC) and secure design.
  • Proficiency with datastores: SQL (e.g., Postgres/Oracle) and at least familiarity with NoSQL (e.g., DynamoDB).
  • CI/CD with Git-based workflows and build tools (Jenkins/GitHub Actions, Maven/Gradle, SonarQube).
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with business stakeholders on requirements and workflows.
  • Openness to AI tooling in day-to-day development; able to discuss what you’ve tried and how you use it responsibly and effectively.

Nice-to-Have

  • Messaging/eventing: Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS (used in the environment; not a deal-breaker).
  • Containerization & platforms: Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift.
  • Observability: AppDynamics/Dynatrace/Datadog; logs via Splunk or ELK/OpenSearch.
  • Testing discipline: TDD with JUnit 5, Mockito; strong coverage habits.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform/CloudFormation.
  • Experience in healthcare/LIMS domain.
  • Familiarity with agentic coding practices, prompt engineering, and LLM concepts.
