FAQ about hiring EJB developers

Where can I find EJB developers?

You can find Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) through various platforms such as Linkedin, Indeed, Glassdoor, etc. EJB is part of the Java EE (now Jakarta EE) platform, so developers with experience in this area are often well-versed in enterprise-grade Java development. You can also refer to Java-Specific Job Boards such as Javahire.com or Javacoder.org. Posting a job description there or browsing the candidate database can help you find EJB developers.

Also, consider Lemon.io when looking for EJB experts. We developed a precise and effective system of evaluating developers’ tech and soft skills so that only top-notch vetted talents are in our pool. This way, you’ll save time and hiring costs by accessing the most suitable remote EJB candidates.

What is the no-risk trial period for hiring EJB developers on Lemon.io?

We understand you might still be unsure if you chose the right candidate among the suggested ones. Thus, we offer a no-risk trial period for hiring Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) developers. This paid period can last up to 20 hours and allows you to evaluate the developer’s performance and compatibility with the team. After the trial, you might be more confident when signing up for long-term cooperation with the developer.

If the candidate doesn’t meet your expectations (this rarely happens because we work only with top-class developers), we will connect you with another specialist with similar expertise who fits your job description.

Is there a high demand for EJB developers?

Yes, EJB developers are definitely in demand. Enterprise JavaBeans have long been the backbone of Java enterprise applications, offering essential stuff like transaction handling and scalability. Sure, there are newer technologies on the scene, but EJB still holds its ground for many large operations, particularly in finance, healthcare, and enterprise software. Businesses needing to tweak or keep their old systems in shape are actively hunting for EJB experts to ensure their apps keep chugging along just fine.

How quickly can I hire a EJB developer through Lemon.io?

We usually connect you with qualified EJB developers within 48 hours of starting the process. After that, it’s your call if you want to run extra interviews or tests. However, most clients find their ideal match quickly and begin onboarding within just a few days.

What are the main strengths of Lemon.io’s platform?

Here are the main strengths of Lemon.io:

1. We connect businesses with skilled developers from over 50 countries, ensuring you find someone who can easily integrate into your team, no matter the time zone.

2. You can choose an hourly subscription or a one-time hire fee, whichever works best for your project.

3. If your selected EJB developer can’t continue for any reason, we’ll promptly provide a solid replacement to keep your project moving.

Why Hire EJB Developers?

 

Hiring Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) developers allows your business to build scalable, secure, and transaction-driven enterprise applications on the Java EE (Jakarta EE) platform.

For companies building enterprise-grade systems such as banking applications, ERP platforms, or insurance solutions, hiring experienced EJB developers ensures robust architecture, high reliability, and compliance with enterprise standards.

 

EJB developers are proficient in designing and implementing session beans, message-driven beans, and entity management for large-scale distributed systems. They bring expertise in integrating EJB components with RESTful APIs, cloud services, and legacy systems while ensuring security and fault tolerance across multiple layers.
