Programmer Jobs at EPAM
Today, many consider themselves programmers, which is not surprising, because this is one of the most popular and highly paid professions. Therefore, an incorrectly written job description can attract applicants who do not meet the requirements or understand the job.
Resumes do not make the situation any better. Recruiters often must process a huge number of applications to find a worthy candidate. To avoid this (or to get a job as an applicant), you need to know how to write a job description (or a programming job resume).
What do programmers do?
Programmers improve system performance, provide technical support, analyze and improve existing software, develop new software, ensure the safety of the company's work in the digital field, and compile reports and proposals for guidance. These tasks should be aimed at increasing the efficiency of the company and improving the quality of service through the development, maintenance, and modernization of software and applications.
What are the responsibilities for programming jobs?
Programmers have specific responsibilities:
- With a business analyst, design and independently develop software.
- Independently draw up requirements for software and implement its prototyping.
- Implement the ideas embedded in the project in the form of code.
- Independently select a programming language to ensure the implementation of all requirements.
- Develop and implement software solutions.
- Apply web technologies to create SaaS products.
- Constantly monitor the effectiveness of the code by testing and make changes as needed.
- Improve the performance and security of systems by updating them regularly.

- To perform each of these duties, programmers must meet specific requirements.
What are the requirements for programmer jobs?
Usually, companies require programmers to have specialized education, but there is a trend in which education is not a fundamental requirement. If the applicant can prove that they are an experienced and competent specialist who demonstrates deep theoretical knowledge and practical skills, education may not be necessary.
The following are the main requirements for programmer jobs:
- Comprehensive knowledge in the development of software focused on solving problems
- Successful experience in software and application development
- Excellent coding skills
- Ability to quickly solve problems in critical situations
- Experience with SQL
- Knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server
- Experience with Microsoft Office
- Analytical and creative thinking
- Knowledge of OOP (Java, C++ and VB.NET, HTML, JavaScript, CSS and Ajax)
- Agile knowledge
In addition to professional skills, programmer job openings include required soft skills.
What soft skills do programmers need?
IT programmers work in a team with other IT professionals, so communication skills are a must. Responsibility and punctuality are equally important, as well as the ability to write documentation and instructions. A programmer is a generalist who must be ready to solve standard problems and work in critical situations.
