Everyone knows a junior software developer job isn’t exactly the playboy lifestyle. You won’t be flying around the world in private jets, solving mysteries and walking away from explosions in slow-motion. You will however set a solid base for your future, giving you a steady foundation upon which to build. And who knows, from these humble beginnings you may just turn out to be a villain in a James Bond movie.

First off, a software developer job is about fixing problems. A JUNIOR software developer job is about fixing minor problems. Basic coding and testing programs is a big part of the day. It might not sound like much, but this basic coding will set the scene for EVERYTHING you do in your career. Remember, you have to walk before you can run. And you have to crawl before you can walk.

Once you’ve proven you can crawl, then more opportunities will open up for you. You’ll get rid of the junior part of your title and have a legit software developer job. This means you’ll be able to create code of your own, and this is when you can plan to take over the world and fight James Bond. A software developer job at this stage includes duties and skills such as:

  • Writing specific software coding that are required by the blueprints and development plans.
  • Creating scripts, testing transactions and testing cases. These tests are conducted to find errors in programs and a good software developer will be able to fix the code themselves.
  • Being able to write documentation which describes the operating and installation procedures.
  • Participating in code reviews and learn from given designs.

A software developer job isn’t just about learning, it’s about selling yourself. Show what you can do to your employers and potential clients. Most universities encourage their students to intern with a software engineering company in order to get the experience, knowledge and to make contacts required to work in the world of IT.

To be considered for a software developer job, you need to have at least a basic knowledge of the main types of coding languages, such as HTML, Javascript and C#. The IT industry is also the fastest changing in the world, and so anyone who is serious about a software developer job needs to be up to date with the current trends and technology.

A software developer job contains step by step processes that include back end coding development, layout, design, testing and implementation. In addition is the testing and fixing of problems found in the code of senior developers.  It is also the responsibility in a software developer job to create and develop programs to maintain certain software applications. These are used to find bugs and speed up the fixing of problems.

A software developer job is actually quite tough, and as an individual you must have great determination and drive to pursue with this career. When it comes to finding a job, those with intern experience stand head and shoulders above everyone else, and will find it much easier to take that first step in capturing James Bond.
