Frequently asked questions
What does a Software Developer do day-to-day?
Software Developers write, test, and maintain code to build applications and systems. Their typical day includes writing new features, reviewing code from teammates, debugging issues, attending planning meetings, and collaborating with product managers and designers to understand requirements. They work with version control systems to manage code changes and participate in code reviews to ensure quality and consistency across the codebase.
What qualifications and experience level should I look for?
Most Software Developers hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, though strong self-taught developers are also hired. Look for candidates with 2-5+ years of professional development experience, proficiency in one or more programming languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.), and demonstrated experience building production applications. Certifications in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and knowledge of modern development practices like Agile and CI/CD are valuable but not always required.

What makes a Software Developer successful in your company culture?
Beyond technical skills, the best Software Developers communicate clearly about blockers and progress, take ownership of their work, and collaborate openly with cross-functional teams.
