Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Software developers design, write, and maintain the programs that run on computers, phones, and servers. Much of the work is reading existing code, breaking a requirement into small changes, and checking that a change behaves correctly before it reaches users.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Back-end developers build the services, APIs, and data access layers that sit behind an application. The work centres on correctness under load: making sure requests are handled reliably, data stays consistent, and failures degrade in a controlled way.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Web developers build and maintain websites and web applications, from marketing sites to logged-in tools. The role often mixes coding with content management systems, hosting, and the practical work of keeping a live site healthy.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
DevOps engineers build the machinery that gets code from a developer's machine into production safely. They automate builds, deployments, and infrastructure, and they are usually the people other teams come to when a release or environment misbehaves.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Site reliability engineers keep production systems running and treat reliability as an engineering problem rather than a manual chore. They set service level objectives, automate away repetitive operational work, and lead the response when something breaks. On-call rotations are a normal part of the role.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Cloud engineers design, build, and run systems hosted on cloud platforms. The job mixes networking, security, and automation: provisioning resources in code, controlling who can access what, and keeping an eye on how the environment is configured over time.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Systems administrators keep an organisation's servers, operating systems, and core services running. The work is a mix of planned maintenance and unplanned problem solving, and it often includes the accounts, backups, and permissions everyone else depends on.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Network administrators design, configure, and maintain the networks that connect an organisation's devices, sites, and services. When connectivity fails, they are the people who work out whether the problem is a cable, a configuration, or a provider.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Network technicians install, test, and repair the physical and logical parts of a network. Compared with an administrator the work is more hands-on and site-based: running and terminating cable, swapping hardware, and confirming links behave as expected.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
IT support technicians are the first point of contact when someone's technology stops working. They diagnose hardware, software, account, and connectivity problems, fix what they can, and hand on what they cannot with enough detail for the next team.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Database administrators look after the systems where an organisation's data lives. They handle installation, access control, backup and recovery, and performance, and they are accountable when a query slows the business down or a restore is needed.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Data engineers build the plumbing that moves data from where it is created to where it is analysed. They write pipelines, model warehouse tables, and put checks in place so that analysts and models are working from data that is complete and on time.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Cybersecurity analysts protect an organisation's systems and data from attack and misuse. The work combines monitoring and investigation with prevention: assessing risks, hardening configurations, and helping other teams build with security in mind.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Penetration testers are paid to attack systems with permission, to find weaknesses before someone else does. Every engagement runs inside an agreed written scope, and the deliverable is a report that explains each finding, its impact, and how to fix it.
Information technology, data and cybersecurity
Embedded software developers write the code that runs inside physical products, from appliances and vehicles to medical and industrial equipment. Memory, power, and timing are tight, and testing usually means working with real hardware on a bench.
