What are JREs?

JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment. It is a software package that provides the libraries, Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and other components needed to run applications written in the Java programming language. While the JRE allows you to execute Java applications, it does not contain the tools for developing Java programs, such as the Java compiler. Developers and end-users install the JRE on their computers to ensure they can run Java applications smoothly. The JRE is available for multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Junior Software Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Junior Software Engineer, you need a solid understanding of programming fundamentals, algorithms, and at least one programming language, usually supported by a degree in computer science or related field. Familiarity with version control systems like Git, basic knowledge of databases, and exposure to development environments are typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, eagerness to learn, and effective teamwork help junior engineers stand out. These skills are crucial for building reliable software, adapting to new technologies, and contributing to collaborative development projects.

What is the difference between Jre vs Java Developer?

AspectJreJava Developer
Required CredentialsNone specific, basic Java knowledgeBachelor's in Computer Science or related, Java certifications
Work EnvironmentRunning Java applications, deploymentDeveloping, coding, debugging Java applications
Industry UsageUsed in deployment and runtime environmentsUsed in software development teams

Jre (Java Runtime Environment) is a package that allows users to run Java applications, while a Java Developer writes and maintains those applications. Jre is essential for executing Java programs, but Java Developers are responsible for creating and improving them. Understanding the difference helps clarify roles in Java-based projects and deployment processes.

What are some common challenges faced by Junior Software Engineers (Jr. Engineers) when starting their first role?

Junior Software Engineers often encounter challenges such as adapting to unfamiliar codebases, learning new tools and development processes, and balancing multiple tasks or priorities. It's common to feel overwhelmed at first, but most teams provide mentorship and support to help new hires acclimate. Collaborating closely with more experienced engineers and asking questions early on can help build confidence and accelerate learning.

Job description

Senior Java/OpenJDK Migration Engineer (Technical Lead)

Contract • Fully Remote • ASAP Start • US Citizens & GC Holders Only

Pay Rate: $65–80/hr W2 | Weekly Pay | 6 Month Contract

Overview

We are placing three Senior Java/OpenJDK Migration Engineers on a 6 month contract supporting a major enterprise Oracle Java removal and OpenJDK migration program. The work spans approximately 20,000 Windows endpoints across a large-scale endpoint remediation initiative. This is hands-on technical leadership — not project coordination. The right candidates will own discovery, removal, migration, deployment coordination, and executive reporting end to end.

You will work directly with enterprise IT and security leadership, application owners, and vendors to execute the migration at scale. Strong PowerShell scripting, SCCM deployment expertise, and the ability to communicate clearly with executive stakeholders are required.

What You'll Do

  • Lead Oracle Java JRE/JDK discovery, removal, and OpenJDK migration across approximately 20,000 Windows endpoints
  • Build and validate Java removal procedures using PowerShell, batch scripting, WMI/CIM queries, and registry analysis
  • Identify Java-dependent applications, categorize users and endpoints by remediation path, and coordinate with application owners on compatibility testing
  • Coordinate SCCM deployment waves and own enterprise packaging for removal and OpenJDK distribution
  • Validate applications against OpenJDK and troubleshoot Java version, JAVA_HOME, PATH, and environment variable issues
  • Produce executive-level reporting, VP compliance dashboards, and weekly status updates
  • Create help desk readiness documentation, FAQs, escalation procedures, and end-user migration communications
  • Support security hardening to prevent unauthorized Java reinstallation

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of enterprise Windows endpoint engineering experience
  • Hands-on Oracle Java JRE/JDK removal and OpenJDK migration experience at scale
  • Deep working knowledge of OpenJDK distributions and Java compatibility troubleshooting (JRE vs JDK, JAVA_HOME, PATH, environment variables)
  • Advanced PowerShell scripting, batch scripting, WMI/CIM queries, and registry analysis
  • SCCM packaging and enterprise endpoint deployment ownership
  • Large-scale Windows endpoint remediation experience — software removal, vulnerability reduction, licensing cleanup
  • Application owner and vendor coordination experience on compatibility validation
  • Executive-level reporting and stakeholder communication track record
  • Available for an ASAP start and willing to commit 100% to a 6 month engagement
  • US Citizen or Permanent Resident — no sponsorship available

Preferred Experience

  • BeyondTrust or similar privileged access management tools
  • Healthcare or large enterprise environment exposure
  • Prior remediation projects involving software licensing, vulnerability reduction, or unauthorized software removal
  • Experience producing help desk documentation, FAQs, support procedures, and migration communications

Compensation & Benefits

  • $65–80/hr W2, paid weekly
  • Medical coverage: PPO and HMO options available
  • Dental and vision coverage

Important Details

  • Fully remote
  • 6 month contract with an ASAP start
  • Three openings available
  • Environment is a large, regulated enterprise
