You should:

  • Be conversant with OOP principles and design methods, such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction.
  • Write clean code that is easy for others to understand.
  • Be familiar with common data structures in the Collection API and know when it is appropriate to use each one.
  • Have a working knowledge of concurrent programming (locks, synchronized methods, thread-safe code).
  • Be comfortable using try-with-resources and have a good understanding of streams and buffering.
  • Be competent writing SQL statements, using modern join techniques. Working knowledge of commit/rollback is highly regarded.

  • Consistently write unit tests that follow FIRST principles, and ideally be a TDD practitioner. You should at least be able to write tests that start a Spring application context, and wire Spring-managed beans into tests. Extra points for knowing how to write a test with Transactional. Extra points for knowing how to use Mockito and MockBean.
  • Know how to use RowMapper, ResultSetExtractor, and RowCallbackHandler with JdbcTemplate. Extra points for working knowledge of Transactional.

  • Handle DB schema migrations using Liquibase.
  • Be comfortable working with basic containerised delivery, using Docker (both local and remote).
