What is Kotlin and what is it used for?

Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. It was created by JetBrains in 2011, and is intended to be a better alternative to Java for developing software. Kotlin is used for creating Android apps, server-side applications, and more. It is a strongly-typed language, meaning that it can provide better type safety than Java and other languages. Kotlin is also highly interoperable with Java, allowing developers to use existing libraries and frameworks when building applications. With its concise syntax and support for modern features such as coroutines, Kotlin makes the development process faster and easier.

What do Kotlin Developers do?

Kotlin developers primarily work on developing Android apps. They use the Kotlin programming language to create code that is efficient and easy to read. In addition to Android app development, Kotlin developers may also be involved in other software development projects. They may be tasked with creating server-side components, web applications, and mobile applications. On larger projects, Kotlin developers may work in collaboration with other development teams to ensure that the code meets specifications and is properly integrated into the software product. They often perform debugging tests or engage in troubleshooting activities when a project is running into issues. In addition to writing code, Kotlin developers may also be involved in designing and documenting the applications they are working on.

Susanne Hasenstab

Head of HR - WEITBLICK® GmbH & Co. KG

Last year we worked with alphacoders for the first time. The cooperation was characterised by professional and very personal support, as well as profound contacts within our target group. What was special for us was that we were actually only looking for one PHP developer, but because of the but due to the suitable selection of candidates we directly hired 2 developers and that within only 3 months. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.

Ingo Fraedrich

General Manager — Veterinärmedizinisches Dienstleistungszentrum GmbH

When looking for qualified employees, we like to rely on specialists. They know the market and the target group and can advise accordingly. So it happens that we have been working with alphacoders since February 2020 and have been able to expand our development team several times. We have found the right service provider for us

Ralf Fohrmann

Head of Human Resources - prophete

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a NAV developer. The special thing about this was the complexity of the market situation: it is a very special position with a very narrow pool of candidates and a very loyal target group. We solved it through trusting and effective communication and adjustments to the profile. One key was certainly that we opened up for a fully remote position and were thus able to find and successfully recruit the right candidate.

Wiebke Ernst-Ringena

Deputy personnel manager

With the help of alphacoders recruiting experts, we were able to successfully fill several challenging roles in our digitalization, IT and purchasing departments. The collaboration was always characterized by very good advice, open communication and maximum transparency. We are looking forward to the next joint projects with alphacoders!

Constanze El Rikabi

Head of People & Organisational Development — Picdrop

We have been working successfully with alphacoders for some time. What I personally like very much is the uncomplicated and personal exchange, as well as the quick occupation time, which has only lasted an average of 3 months so far. alphacoders understands their trade and we are very happy to have them on our team.

Julius Martini

CEO — TimberTom

We have already commissioned alphacoders twice to support us in tech recruiting and they convinced us with the first candidate for both positions (frontend & fullstack developer). The cooperation was very uncomplicated, at eye level and characterized by direct communication. We are very happy to have alphacoders on our side.

Stephanie Werk

Senior Tech Recruiterin - WERTGARANTIE Group

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a PL/SQL developer. Thanks to the professional support of alphacoders, we were able to fill the position in a very short time. The fact that we worked very closely with the tech recruiters and that we had the same understanding of the market and the special requirements played a major role in our success. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.

Christina Bombeck

HR Managerin - Fundis Reitsport

We have commissioned alphacoders to search for 2 web developers. The challenge is that we are active in a special niche in e-commerce with the topic of equestrian sports and ideally the ideal candidate should also identify with our sport. In addition to good communication and consultation, we jointly implemented an effective hiring process. alphacoders not only managed to attract many women for this position, but we even managed to hire someone with a love for our sport. We were able to fill both positions with alphacoders and would hire them again anytime.
