A J2EE Java developer is a software programmer who processes data and designs Java-based applications. Java developers often work in an IT team within an organization to produce errorless program architecture. Duties include analyzing problems, writing and reviewing coding, and evaluating the results. They also manage a small team, so they usually have experience working as a technical supervisor. Qualifications to pursue a career as a Java J2EE developer include an associate degree in computer science, web design, or a related field, and extensive experience and knowledge with programming, graphic design, and the ETL process.
