Employment of software developers is projected to grow 24% from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Software developers will be needed to respond to an increased demand for computer software. Every business that generates its own computer programmes or to personalise third-party software needs software engineers to write, edit, and test programmes.

Popular careers include:

  • Software developer
  • Computer application engineer
  • Systems software engineer
  • Systems programmer
  • Mobile specialist/ technologist
  • Application developer
  • Computer Programmer/analyst
  • Software development manager
  • Information Security Analysts
