Software Engineering Jobs

Looking to the future of software engineering, we see how two converging issues will shape the horizon: the lack of software talent, and the desperate need for it. COVID-19 highlighted the importance of integrated digital customer journeys, with rising demand for talent to help companies digitise. For example, there has been a spike in demand for front-end developer talent, particularly in UX and UI design, apps, and mobile responsive design due to remote customer bases. We are also seeing how software engineering talent is being blended into new sectors. For example, the need for rapid scalability and continuous development to respond to an ever-changing landscape is leading to new practices like DevSecOps, MLOps and Serverless Computing, which all require developer talent. As a result, developer talent is becoming more cross-domain and less siloed – as well as harder to find. Recent data from Tech Nation shows that demand for software developers outstrips active candidates by as much as ten times. The scarcity of talent, combined with the complexity and competition of the market, has led Lorien to specialise in software engineering recruitment.
