What are weekend programmers?

Weekend programmers are individuals who primarily write, develop, or maintain software during weekends rather than as a full-time weekday job. They might do this to pursue personal projects, contribute to open-source software, or supplement their income with freelance work. Weekend programmers can be professionals seeking extra experience, students learning new skills, or hobbyists enjoying coding in their spare time. This flexible schedule allows them to balance programming with other commitments or interests.

What are some typical challenges faced by Weekend Programmers, and how can they be managed effectively?

Weekend Programmers often face challenges such as balancing tight deadlines with limited work hours, staying aligned with weekday teams, and managing communication gaps. To overcome these, it's important to maintain clear documentation, proactively communicate updates, and leverage collaboration tools to stay in sync with full-time colleagues. Setting clear priorities and expectations with your manager can also help ensure your contributions have maximum impact within the available time.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Weekend Programmer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Weekend Programmer, you need strong programming skills in languages like Python, JavaScript, or Java, and a solid understanding of software development principles. Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git), code editors, and possibly cloud platforms or collaborative tools is common. Effective time management, self-motivation, and clear communication are crucial soft skills for balancing part-time coding with other commitments. These skills enable consistent productivity, quality code delivery, and successful collaboration on weekend or short-term software projects.

What Are Weekend Jobs for a Programmer?

As a weekend programmer, you work part-time on Saturday-Sunday to complete computer programming responsibilities. Your duties may require you to develop software programs, code program designs into a language a computer understands, test systems to ensure they are working correctly, and install computer updates. You may communicate with software developers as well as the client to ensure efficient translation and development of the program. Some programs may be developed in a couple of days, while other jobs may require multiple weekends to complete. The programs you create may be used for phone applications, operating systems, or websites. A weekend programmer may work for a company or provide freelance services.

About the Role: Applications Programmer

As an Applications Programmer at Kumon North America, you will contribute to the design, development, maintenance, and enhancement of Kumon’s web and backend applications. You’ll work across multiple systems and projects—supporting ongoing enhancements, maintenance work, and new development requests as business needs evolve.

This role is ideal for someone who has strong experience in Microsoft technologies, enjoys collaborating with others, and can flex between new development and system improvements across a portfolio of applications.

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop and Maintain Applications: Build and support web applications, backend services, and executable applications as needed.
  • Full-Stack Collaboration: Support front-end functionality (not design) and back-end/database development to ensure smooth, user-friendly experiences.
  • Work Across Multiple Systems: Contribute to enhancements and maintenance across multiple internal and public-facing applications (not limited to one product).
  • Database Development: Create, optimize, and maintain SQL queries and stored procedures, including complex data logic.
  • Team-Based Delivery: Collaborate with developers, QA, graphic design, and business partners to deliver effective solutions.
  • Testing & Quality: Perform self-testing and ensure code meets performance, reliability, and maintainability expectations.

What We’re Looking For:

Required Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience: Minimum 3 years of hands-on application development experience (3–5 preferred).
  • Technical Skills (Mandatory):
  • C# / .NET / .NET Core
  • ASP.NET / ASP.NET MVC
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Strong experience writing and maintaining stored procedures and complex queries

Preferred Skills

  • Experience working in a full-stack development environment
  • Comfortable supporting both new development and ongoing maintenance/enhancement work
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a small, collaborative team

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop, enhance, and support web-based and backend applications using Microsoft technologies.
  • Create and optimize SQL queries and stored procedures to support application functionality and performance.
  • Work collaboratively with internal stakeholders including developers, QA, graphic designers, and business teams.
  • Support multiple applications simultaneously based on organizational priorities and incoming feature requests.
  • Participate in troubleshooting, debugging, testing, and deployment support as needed.

Work Environment / Team Structure

  • You’ll join a small development team (approximately 4–5 developers) and work closely with QA and business partners.
  • The environment is collaborative and team-oriented, requiring strong communication and comfort receiving and providing feedback.

Location Requirement

This role is based in Rutherford, NJ and is not remote. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite in the Rutherford office 2x per week.
