Alongside remote work and technological advances, companies are increasingly investing in hiring technology professionals. These professionals have become increasingly essential across a range of sectors. A recent survey conducted by Brasscom (the Brazilian Association of Information and Communication Technology and Digital Technology Companies) found that the sector will open more than 673,000 positions between 2022 and 2025, but will train only 46,000 professionals per year, leaving a shortfall of almost 80%. In a landscape where changes are happening at an exponential pace and the labor shortage continues to grow, hiring good developers has become an increasingly challenging task. With that in mind, here are the five roles most sought after by companies. **Front-End Developer:** The front-end developer is responsible for translating an entire interface into programming code. This is what structures the entire look and feel of a project, whether it is a website, platform, or app, including menus and elements that ensure interactivity and a smooth user experience. **Back-End Developer:** This role involves implementing and managing the interaction between users and websites. Back-end developers are responsible for data maintenance and storage. They work on the internal architecture of a project, whether web-based or mobile, connecting it to all its content, including forms, maps, databases, CRM, and more. **Full-Stack Developer:** A generalist professional, this is one of the roles that requires the broadest knowledge, since it calls for a comprehensive technical skill set across both front-end and back-end. Full-stack developers work with a range of languages and technologies and understand the entire software or web development process. **Solutions Architect:** This professional assesses a company's technology needs. They use the resources available to plan the development and improvement of websites, software, systems, platforms, and other necessary products and services, while also mapping potential risks. **Tech Lead:** Also known as a technical lead, this person leads development teams and manages all workflows. Tech leads are essential to ensuring successful project delivery. They also take a hands-on role. Usually, they are developers who stand out for their experience and track record. In this role, they have the opportunity to improve their programming skills while developing their leadership abilities. #### **The Most In-Demand Hard Skills** It is clear that the technology market is booming, and anyone looking to fill these positions will need specific skills, known as hard skills. These can be acquired through courses, training, and experience. **Developers:** Development roles require knowledge of Java, .NET, PHP, Python, React, Angular, Vue.js, JavaScript, HTML, Kotlin, Flutter, and Swift. **Infrastructure:** Cloud knowledge is essential for businesses, so Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google, and others), VMware, Active Directory, Linux, Windows Server, and VPN are indispensable for these professionals. **Data and information security:** Data handling is one of the most sensitive areas of technology. Important areas of knowledge include post-attack management, LGPD, GDPR, and ISSO 270001. In addition to the *hard skills* required for each area, it is important for everyone in these roles to be familiar with [agile methodologies](https://vitamina.digital/metodologia-agil-para-projetos/) such as Scrum, Kanban, Feature-Driven Development, Lean Development, and others that are essential for project development. #### **Soft Skills: What’s Most Valued in Tech** These are skills that cannot be measured or quantified in a traditional interview. They relate to leadership and communication abilities, as well as the capacity to find solutions quickly and practically. *Hard skills*may help a candidate stand out to a recruiter, but *soft skills* are what make the difference in a hiring decision. In a highly competitive market like technology, some of the most important *soft skills* are: **Effective communication**: Communicating confidently and persuasively. Information must be conveyed clearly and objectively. This is essential for aligning work activities and actions. **Flexibility**: Adapting to change and embracing new challenges. **Teamwork**: Building good relationships and partnerships with the team fosters collaboration and a positive organizational climate. **Problem-solving:**Using perceptiveness to map out effective strategies for new scenarios and find creative solutions. ## Read also Digital ecosystem ### [VitaminaWeb and AnaMid support Projeto Abraço Atípico: technology, sports and social inclusion](https://vitaminaweb.digital/en/blog/vitaminaweb-and-anamid-support-projeto-abraco-atipico-technology-sports-and-social-inclusion) Projeto Abraço Atípico brings together inclusion, sports and support for atypical families, with backing from VitaminaWeb and AnaMid. 21 Sep, 2025 · 6 min Digital ecosystem ### [Creativity, human talent and digital maturity on the agenda at Expointer 2025](https://vitaminaweb.digital/en/blog/creativity-human-talent-and-digital-maturity-on-the-agenda-at-expointer-2025) Rodrigo Neves, CEO of VitaminaWeb and President of AnaMid, took part in the ABMRA Communication Forum 2025, held on September 2 at Expointer (RS)... 03 Sep, 2025 · 3 min Digital ecosystem ### [Website development takes center stage among Brazil’s most contracted digital services](https://vitaminaweb.digital/en/blog/website-development-takes-center-stage-among-brazils-most-contracted-digital-services) Website development is growing and becoming a priority for businesses, according to an AnaMid survey featured by Valor Econômico. 07 Aug, 2025 · 4 min
