FAQs
Hire Java Developers: Common Questions
Answers to frequently asked questions about hiring Java developers through Salt.
How quickly can I hire Java developers through Salt?
You can hire Java developers within 1-2 weeks. We present pre-vetted candidates within 2-3 days, you interview and select, and developers can start with a 2-week trial. No lengthy recruitment cycles or months of searching.
What skills do your Java developers have?
Our Java developers are proficient in Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Hibernate, JPA, microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, database integration (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle), testing (JUnit, Mockito), and cloud deployment (AWS, Azure, GCP). Many also have experience with Apache Kafka, Redis, and enterprise integration patterns.
How do you vet Java developers before I hire them?
Our vetting includes live coding sessions building enterprise applications, system design discussions for scalable architectures, code review exercises, and assessment of testing practices. We evaluate OOP design patterns, concurrency knowledge, and experience with production-scale applications. Only about 3% pass.
Can I hire Java developers for my existing team?
Yes, absolutely. When you hire Java developers through Salt, they integrate seamlessly with your existing team, processes, and tools. They participate in your standups, code reviews, and planning sessions. We specifically match developers who fit your tech stack and team culture.
Do your Java developers know Spring Boot?
Yes, Spring Boot expertise is a core skill for our Java developers. Most of our backend engineers work with Spring Boot daily and can help you build new applications or maintain existing ones. They understand Spring Security, Spring Data, Spring Cloud, and the broader Spring ecosystem.
What experience level are the Java developers I can hire?
Most Java developers you can hire through Salt have 4-8+ years of experience building production applications. We categorize developers as Mid-level (3-5 years), Senior (5-8 years), and Staff/Principal (8+ years) based on demonstrated skills, not just tenure.
Can I hire Java developers for legacy system modernization?
Yes. Many of our Java developers have experience modernizing legacy Java applications—migrating from older Java versions, moving from monoliths to microservices, or upgrading from Java EE to Spring Boot. We can match developers with the right modernization experience.
What if I need to hire more Java developers later?
Scaling is built into our model. Start by hiring one Java developer, add more as needed, or transition to a full Pod with additional skills (frontend, QA, DevOps). There's no penalty or friction for scaling up or down.
What time zones do your Java developers work in?
Our developers are based in India but maintain 4-6 hours of overlap with US time zones. Many work flexible schedules to align with your team's core hours. We ensure there's enough real-time collaboration for effective teamwork.
