What does a Junior Full Stack Java Developer Do?
A Junior Full Stack Java Developer works with a team of developers to create new websites and applications. The “junior” designation means you work under the supervision of senior developers in your department, but you may be involved in all stages of the project, from brainstorming to final testing. As a Junior Full Stack Java Developer, you review web design needs and preferences and provide advice on website maintenance.
