NATEK forecast for 2022 assumes 5%-6% growth in demand for IT Professionals within Data Science, DevOps and Cloud roles in higher positions.
Why is Back-End needed?
Every part of the stack evolved in recent years. For example: Node.js enabled JavaScript Developers to dive into the Back-End and build their own servers. Furthermore, cloud providers supply us with new servers with just a few minutes’ notice, Infrastructure as a Code came along and serverless makes IT easier for non-tech people. But still, there are extremely important tasks that Back-End Devs take care of. Hosting, privacy and security, integration, payments… The systems don’t stand alone. If you need support for your organization, we are happy to share our expertise in those areas with our highly-specialized Software Engineers. Banking, telecommunication, medical industry - we have experienced it all and many more!
Front-End Development - important or not?
It takes 0.05 seconds for an average user to form an opinion of a B2B company by looking at their website*. Hence, the programming and layout with design, functionality, and navigation experience play a vital role in the site. It drives performance, aligns business intent, optimizes navigation and leads to a higher traffic and conversion. Picking the right technology is certainly the most engaging choice for a project… and guess what! We have a few technologies to choose from: Front-End careers.

The role of Data Engineering
Huge amounts of data surround us in day-to-day life. Data Engineering makes Data Science more productive. If there is no such field, we have to spend more time preparing data analysis to solve complex business problems. So, Data Engineering requires a complete understanding of technologies, tools, and faster execution of complex datasets with reliability.
According to IDC, the amount of data created by 2024 is expected to exceed that generated in the past 30 years. Thus, the Big Data is one of the most sought-after titles. To find out the possibilities of working with NATEK to expand your tech capabilities, just drop us a line or apply here.
IT Professionals see broader opportunities
For IT professionals career options are more promising than ever. Before the pandemic, a dual approach to building the business upon information technologies was seen. The conservative way was to ensure that infrastructure and applications were in place to support usual business activities. Whereas the strategic way was using cutting-edge technologies, incorporating the latest solutions as a critical component of achieving objectives. Thus, the ICT Specialists can be sure that the demand for tech skills will slightly increase in the near decades. The necessity to address the immediate concerns (such as digitalization during the pandemic) and the adoption of the latest science accomplishments gives IT pros certainty, that the demand for them will not change anytime soon.
Looking deeper at skills, the IT workforce keeps evolving from a heavy focus on infrastructure and generalists into a diverse world of specialists spread across various disciplines.
The disproportion between the demand for IT professionals and employees supply is enormous. NATEK can help you with filling your open vacancies: understanding of core business needs of our Partners while delivering high-quality services are the things, we pay much attention to.
