Head of Marketing and Communication
In 2021, where 5G technology is beginning to take its first steps and the Internet of Things is one step closer to becoming a reality, companies need new technological profiles with which to adapt to the changes. During this year, some of the most demanded profiles by companies are those who have studied or have training related to technical degrees, such as the degree in software engineering or software. Some of these profiles will be:
Blockchain architect. This profile is in high demand by digital companies with a high algorithmic component in their activity. This professional must have extensive knowledge of blockchain as well as being in charge of verifying that both the processes and the identities that operate in this process do so securely. One more fact: the activity of blockchain architecture, although we think that it is linked to the financial sector, does not have to be so. In fact, the application of blockchain technology to artificial intelligence has led to the development of this profile. If you are interested in this field, at IMMUNE we have an blockchain bootcamp with which you will be able to start in the sector and acquire the knowledge demanded by companies.
Cybersecurity expert. The more information a company possesses, the greater the need to protect it. As a result of this fact, both the concept of cybersecurity and the professional profiles that revolve around this discipline were born. These include the cybersecurity expert, who must know how to protect his or her clients by focusing on the detection, prevention and solution of risks that may be encountered in the digital environment.
Full-Stack Developer. As we have already explained in the blog, an expert in full-stack developer must know the front-end and back-end facets, as well as the different operating systems and components at these frontiers.
CDOs and data analysts. The unstoppable advances in big data, and the eagerness of companies to collect data, have meant that the profiles of chief data officers (CDO) and data analysts are expected to be bullish for 2019.
DevOps. Although we cannot consider it as a profile per se, DevOps is a discipline that promotes collaboration between different sectors of the company. To understand it, we must start from three key ideas: DevOps is a methodology for creating software, it is based on integration between developers and system administrators and, finally, it allows software to be produced more quickly and with higher quality. But can this be considered a profession? As Rob Steward, vice president of product development at Progress Software, explains, "A good DevOps practice will free developers to focus on doing what they do best: writing software.
