It could be that I'm incompetent but what are middleware developers?

@VikiMaster2

According to blog
😂

Middleware Developer

This is the middle layer of the application, software or system. This part of the layer functions basically as a bridge linking or tying the front end and the back end together. It can also be said to be the glue that holds the user interface and data together. Typically, this layer is where the logic layer resides. The codes used in this middleware include Java and C# and the communication tools used throughout the application are SOAP and JSON.

As the middleware layer is basically a software within a software, Middleware jobs would mostly be middleware analysts who would be able to manage systems and automated backup. Middleware analysts have to be very knowledgeable about middleware technologies.

Isn’t middleware considered backend?

@AlexDeLarge nah, its an actual term, they are just usually hired as backend devs.

I thought middleware was basically the software that for instance in a monitor translates the input it gets to whatever the monitor needs to do make the input appear on the screen.
Now I dont get it anymore 😔

@AlexDeLarge is totally right. Just another stupid title for a developer. There is frontend, backend, and devops (infrastructure and environment).

Splitting the backend into layers and then assigning different job names to layers is just like calling:
"customer support" -> "customer success"
"sales-man" -> "specialized advisor"
...

Its a bullshit description for the same type of job
