I want to know how to say Developer in Japanese. By Developer, Specifically a
web Developer, Programmer or Coder.

When I googled it initially, I got:

> デベロッパー

And then I found a Kanji:

> 開発者

I know context is also very important in Japanese so I was wondering if the
above are correct for developer and which would be better to use for this
occasion.

How to say "Developer" In Japanese?
Both are perfectly correct, and the difference is small. But, as you said,
context is very important, and we need much more context to say which is
better. In what kind of context do you want to say "(web) developer"? In
general, 開発者 is a relatively stiffer and more traditional word, and it may be
preferred in news articles and official government documents. On the other
hand, デベロッパー may sound a little more "catchy", and it may be preferred in
event names, product names and such. (エンジニア is another word which is gaining
more and more popularity, and you may want to consider this if you are
thinking of recruiting a good frontend engineer, for example.)
