What Is a JDE Developer and How to Become One

By ZipRecruiter Marketplace Research Team

JD Edwards was a company that created Enterprise resource planning software. Oracle bought it and continues to produce Enterprise software, which provides integrated management solutions for core business processes. JDE developers program software enhancements or interfaces for business management and have a working knowledge of the EnterpriseOne toolset. They troubleshoot problems in the system, design QA and testing tools to analyze your programs or modifications to existing applications, and maintain program stability for your clients’ needs.

To become a JDE developer, you need a background in software development or design using JDE software as well as other technical qualifications related to database management, business intelligence applications, and programming. A bachelor’s degree is not required, but many employers prefer candidates who have a degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field. Programming skills in Java and SQL, as well as familiarity with other Oracle products, are also helpful. Acquire an entry-level job in an IT department or a technology firm that uses the Enterprise software; practice using it to gain proficiency. Once you are confident in your skills using the program, seek JDE developer positions.
