C Suite roles followed by Management/Director roles

Unsurprisingly, C Suite roles topped the bill for the UK and Ireland. These individuals make top level decisions which impact multiple stakeholders throughout their organisation so a high priority in getting the best and right person for the role is placed on these positions. Closely followed by Management and Head of/ Director level which can vary from each department what salary they command. Head of Development Engineering topping the bill.

Software Backend Developer tops the ‘hands-on roles’

Moving onto the more hands-on positions the highest paid roles in 2023 will be:

  1. Software Developer
  2. Software Architect
  3. Java Engineer
  4. Data Scientist
  5. Python Developer

 

These Developers contribute largely to the long-term execution of a project and can be very influential on the performance of a company’s application or website.

Cyber, Data and Cloud will also be in strong positions

Moving into 2023 there is already a strong foothold for Cyber, Data and Cloud to propel themselves higher up the rankings. Companies are placing a higher importance on these areas due to long term up-scaling plans.

Cyber, Data, Cloud roles which could boom in 2023:

  1. Data Engineer: Having data easily accessible and well established will put companies ahead of competitors.
  2. Data Scientist: Understanding the data you have has never been more influential.
  3. Cloud Engineer: The world is moving to the cloud. These engineers will be crucial for many more businesses.
  4. Penetration Testing: Ensuring a robust defense is tested and amended.

During a time of unrest in technology due to layoffs and insecurity, Fintech companies are really well placed to calmly continue their upward trajectory after successfully hiring a great base layer of individuals organically. 2023 could be a great year within Fintech space and an exciting time to join a growing company.
