Software development jobs FAQs

The most relevant coding languages usually depend on the type of software developer. For a front-end developer mostly focused on the design aspect, React, Angular, Vue, JavaScript, HTML and CSS are mostly used.  

Conversely, a back-end developer who works on server-side coding and integration might use: NET, C#, SQL, Java, PHP, Python, AWS, Azure, CI / CD. A full stack software developer will likely use a combination of the above.

Your software developer salary will depend on your coding experience and location. A junior developer can expect to earn €40,000-€55,000, while more senior developers can expect a salary of €55,000-€80,000.

In short, low-code technology is unlikely to replace skilled developers anytime soon. Despite the rising use of low-code development platforms – which remove the amount of code required to develop software – it is unlikely that the technology will replace dedicated developers. 

Low-code technology often has limitations, and skilled coders will always be in high demand for projects requiring high scalability and functionality. Rather than replacing developers, low-code automation often seeks to empower them by boosting productivity. 

Software development trends are in constant flux, but Cloud technologies continue to be adopted at speed by organisations of all sizes across the world. Cloud-native engineers – already in short supply – are therefore in high demand. Investment in AI is also continuously growing as organisations want to make use of machine learning and natural language processing. 

The integration of more emerging technology – such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) - will also create a need for more development expertise in these areas.
