Multiplatform Application Development: the most sought-after professional profiles
The profile of multiplatform application developer is one of the most in-demand at present. The need for solutions accessible from different operating systems and devices drives the constant search for professionals capable of designing, developing and maintaining all types of applications.
Specific training in multiplatform development equips students with fundamental skills, such as the development of native and hybrid applications for different O.S., database management, implementation of scalable solutions in the cloud, or the application of security techniques and performance optimisation.
Cross-platform developers stand out for their ability to adapt to different technologies and environments, which allows them to work in various industries, from the creation of commercial applications to complex enterprise solutions. Here are some of the most in-demand profiles in this field.
8 professional profiles if you are a DAM expert
Mobile application developer
Mobile has become the main (and sometimes the only) computing platform for many users. It is not surprising, therefore, that the demand for developers with advanced knowledge of iOS and Android has soared in recent years.
Languages such as Java, Swift or Kotlin form part of the day-to-day work of these professionals who, in addition, tend to work with technologies that are especially suited to creating universal mobile applications that adapt easily to different scenarios, such as Flutter, React Native or Xamarin.
Full-stack application developer
They build solutions that work on different operating systems such as Windows, MacOS and Linux using different programming languages.
Their profile is key in sectors where high compatibility between applications is required and in organisations that have a hybrid IT park and require the necessary skills to develop an efficient integration of these applications with the native functionalities of each operating system.
IoT Developer
He implements applications and solutions for connected and smart devices, specialising in the development of applications for some of the most common platforms in this sector such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi or the more industrial Azure IoT or AWS IoT.
His work is fundamental in sectors such as home automation and Industry 5.0. He is also responsible for designing scalable and secure architectures that facilitate real-time interaction between multiple devices, platforms and systems in the cloud.
IT Performance Technician
Optimises the performance and ensures the stability of applications on different operating systems, performing advanced testing and continuous monitoring. This profile is essential for monitoring business-critical applications, which cannot afford to suffer from bottlenecks or performance losses.
In addition, it analyses and solves problems related to energy efficiency or security, guaranteeing the best experience in different scenarios.
Application integration specialist
It is responsible for the integration of applications and services between different platforms, applications and developments through APIs, web services and tools such as REST, GraphQL or cloud tools, thus playing a key role in ensuring interoperability.
In addition, he facilitates the secure and efficient exchange of data within the organisation, managing communication protocols and ensuring smooth integration with external services and legacy systems.
Application security specialist
With development cycles becoming increasingly agile and shorter, the application security specialist must ensure that all enterprise software programmed by companies is free of vulnerabilities.
To achieve this, they apply methodologies such as DevSecOps, which integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle, automating security controls without affecting the speed of delivery. It is also responsible for implementing security tests in test environments and correcting possible failures before projects go into production.
Project Manager
You manage multidisciplinary teams and complex technology projects that require solutions adapted to multiple operating environments and technology platforms.
In addition, you must master specific tools and software in this field, such as Microsoft Project, Jira or Asana, to plan, schedule and control the progress of the project. It is also essential that you have the analytical skills to interpret data, identify risks and make informed decisions.
At the same time, you oversee resources, budgets and delivery times, effectively coordinating communication between technical teams and the decision-makers involved.
Automation and testing expert
Develops automated tests for hybrid, mobile and desktop applications with specific tools such as Appium, Selenium, Cypress and TestComplete. This profile improves the quality and stability of deliveries.
You are also responsible for keeping test scripts up to date, performing constant analysis of results and facilitating fast bug detection and resolution.
