Cloud-native engineers continue to be in short supply but high demand as organisations of all sizes in China adopt cloud at speed. Critical skills you’ll want these professionals to have are Java and Python.
Investment in AI is continuously growing as organisations want to make use of Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. This means more developers will be needed to build AI functionality into Software Applications. Further developments in the use of VR, AR and MR will also create a need for more development expertise in these areas.

What soft skills should I look for in a Software Developer?
It’s no longer enough for Software Developers to be programming language experts. Increasingly, organisations are seeing the benefit of hiring people with a slew of soft skills, especially problem-solving and creativity.
You’ll want people who are quick to assess an issue, choose the best solution. and deliver their ideas effectively to various stakeholders within the business. To achieve this, strong communication skills are also a must-have.
Aside from a good salary, what can I do to attract top Software Developers?
Software Developers care a lot about the technology they’re using and building, so an interesting product will definitely make it an easy sell.

Showcase your commitment to supporting your staff’s development either through investment in training using platforms, or an LMS like Hays Thrive, offering time off for upskilling or the opportunity to get involved with different project teams to broaden their skillset and gain expertise in emerging technologies.
