Three DevOps jobs hiring in London right now
Over the past decade, the UK tech sector has grown exponentially and is currently valued at just over $1tn, with predictions that it will be worth $2.6tn by 2033.
Credited to the nation’s ability to support startups, encourage scaleups and entice unicorns, tech in the UK remains in a healthy position despite a global slowdown in funding.
While 44% of roles are likely to be impacted by technological advances, specifically AI, there remain specialities within the sector that will continue to be buoyant for workers.
The World Economic Forum predicts that the continued adoption of technology will result in the creation of 97 million jobs globally. But that within such growth, those with experience in certain sectors will remain in demand as long as they continue to upskill – specifically those who can sit at the crossroads of tech and traditional business practices and guide businesses forward, such as DevOps.
The demand for DevOps engineers continues to rise, despite an overall downturn in the tech industry. In fact, job opportunities within DevOps are expected to grow by 15% before 2031, more than double the national growth rate. Add to this the fact that 87% of employers are struggling to fill these roles, according to Deloitte, and it’s clear that the future is bright for those working within the sector.
The UKTN job board is filled with opportunities across DevOps and should be explored to get an overview of the sector. Below are three exciting roles currently hiring through The UKTN job board.
