The increase in digital attacks, new regulations, and the need for data governance have made professionals in this area the most sought-after in the sector. Data breaches cost companies dearly, both financially and reputationally. That&#8217;s why investing in security is no longer optional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most sought-after positions include: <\/span><b>Security Analyst, Cybersecurity Specialist, Information Security Manager, and Chief Security Officer (CSO)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. What unites all these professionals is the ability to anticipate risks, implement protections, and respond quickly to incidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2) Artificial Intelligence specialist<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic promise and has become a reality in companies. LinkedIn data shows that AI has established itself as the main driver of productivity in 2025, and this trend only strengthens in 2026. It&#8217;s not just about large tech corporations. Retail, logistics, healthcare, and education companies are integrating AI into their processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positions such as <\/span><b>AI Engineer, Developer focused on Generative AI, and Machine Learning Specialist<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are among the most in demand. The difference is that today, knowing theory isn&#8217;t enough. Companies need professionals who can implement practical solutions, integrate AI models into existing applications, and train systems that truly add value to the business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NextAge has specialized squads in AI-powered development. We create intelligent chatbots, predictive analysis tools, among others. Our professionals understand how to translate business needs into efficient projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3) Cloud computing and infrastructure<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/en\/the-best-cloud-options-a-complete-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloud<\/a> migration continues to heat up. Cloud platforms are among the most sought-after skills by companies, and it&#8217;s not hard to understand why. Cloud offers scalability, reduced physical infrastructure costs, and facilitates remote work. Companies still operating on traditional models are racing to modernize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cloud Engineer, Solutions Architect, and DevOps specialists<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lead hiring. These professionals are responsible for designing cloud architectures, ensuring systems run stably, and creating automated deployment pipelines. The difference between a good cloud professional and an exceptional one lies in the ability to optimize costs and foresee problems before they happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most in-demand platforms are AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Knowing at least one of them in depth is fundamental. Tools like Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and Jenkins are also part of these professionals&#8217; daily routine. Certifications from the platforms themselves (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator) remain an important differentiator on r\u00e9sum\u00e9s.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4) Data engineering and data science<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is data the new oil? Perhaps not, because unlike oil, data alone is worthless. The value lies in knowing how to extract insights, identify patterns, and transform information into strategic decisions. Data Science and Database Management are among the most valued skills by companies in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Data Scientist, Data Engineer, and Business Intelligence Analyst<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> work with complementary objectives. The engineer builds the infrastructure that collects and organizes data. The scientist develops predictive models and algorithms. The BI analyst translates all of this into dashboards and reports that guide business decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3815\" src=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Data professional analyzing dashboards and charts on laptop and tablet with colorful metrics and KPIs visualizations\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-2048x1365.webp 2048w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-330x220.webp 330w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-420x280.webp 420w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/office-workers-using-finance-graphs-1-510x340.webp 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>5) Software development<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software development remains one of the pillars of technology. Programming languages remain among companies&#8217; priority investment areas, and the demand for qualified developers shows no signs of slowing down. <a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/en\/programming-languages-for-web-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Web<\/a> applications, mobile apps, internal systems, and integrations between different platforms keep developers busy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Full Stack Developers, Mobile specialists (iOS and Android), and programmers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> focused on specific languages like Java, JavaScript, Python, and C# are among the most sought-after. Today&#8217;s differentiator lies in mastering not just the language, but also understanding agile methodologies, knowing how to work in teams, and being able to deliver functional software in short cycles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NextAge has qualified professionals for each of these technologies. Whether to create an application from scratch, refactor a legacy system, or add new features to an existing platform, we have professionals with the right experience for each challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What skills professionals need to have<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the specific technical skills of each area, some competencies cut across all IT functions. Adaptability is fundamental in a sector that changes rapidly. The technology that&#8217;s hot today may be replaced tomorrow, and professionals who can learn quickly stand out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teamwork is no longer just a soft skill item in job descriptions. Technology projects involve multiple areas, and knowing how to collaborate with designers, product managers, business analysts, and other developers is part of the routine. Clear communication, both written and verbal, is also essential for explaining technical decisions to those outside the field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuous learning has become a necessity. Online courses, certifications, participation in technical communities, and reading documentation help keep knowledge up to date. Each area has its relevant certifications: AWS for cloud, CISSP for security, agile methodology certifications for development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3816\" src=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Developer working on laptop in collaborative office environment with team in the background\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-1024x681.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-1536x1022.webp 1536w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-2048x1363.webp 2048w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-330x220.webp 330w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-420x280.webp 420w, https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/people-practicing-social-integration-workspace-1-510x340.webp 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>2026 will be decisive for IT in Brazil<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Brazilian technology market is experiencing a moment of accelerated transformation.
