Software Engineer Jobs

If you’re comfortable with coding, if you understand technological innovations and if you have a systematic approach to problem-solving, you could be the perfect candidate for a Software Engineer job. As the business world gets ever more global and ever more integrated, the role of Software Engineers has become increasingly crucial. This is because a Software Engineer’s job is essential for businesses to run smoothly, where international commerce needs instant communication at all times and with minimal disruptions or friction points. 

What is a Software Engineer? 

Software Engineering is a sub-branch of computer science. A Software Engineer’s job involves dealing with the design, development, testing and maintenance of software. This software is then used by organisations or end-users. Typical examples include word processors, media players and accounting software. A large portion of their day is dedicated to working with code, including writing, testing, deploying and maintaining it

Depending on the nature of the business that you’re involved in, whether as an employee, a consultant or a freelancer, you could be working with computer programs, web applications, video games, mobile apps, mainframes, robots, databases and servers. While a Software Engineer job may sound like a niche role, in many ways it’s an extremely diverse one.
 

Qualities needed to be successful in a Software Engineer job?

As a Software Engineers job involves working with complex technical models and collaborating with multiple departments, such as designers, data scientists and project managers, they need a rare combination of technical and soft skills to become successful. These softer skills include:

  • Ambition and eagerness to do great work as some software can be vital to an organisation’s operations
  • Good communication skills to speak to a variety of stakeholders and team members about software problems and solutions
  • Time management skills as Software Engineers can be pressured to work under tight deadlines, especially in times when software is down and needs fixing. 
  • A keen focus for end-users as they need to think about their wants and needs to solve problems with the software. 

Qualifications and technical skills - How to get a Software Engineer job?

More often than not, securing a Software Engineer job requires a minimum entry-level education, typically involving a bachelor’s degree. As Software Developers deal with numbers, code and highly complex problems daily, common degrees involve computer software engineering, computer science or mathematics. Many Software Engineers also have a master’s qualification.

Those who seek Software Engineer jobs in Hong Kong could come from a variety of backgrounds. For example, previous roles might include:

  • Embedded Software Engineer
  • Software Architect
  • Web Designer
  • Assistant Software Engineer
  • Test Engineer
  • Front End Developer
  • DevOps Specialist
  • Back End Developer
  • Full Stack Developer
  • Security Engineer
  • Software Development Manager
  • Programmer

Different employers may look for a varying balance of experience and qualifications, leaning more heavily towards one or the other, but they will all be looking for individuals who can add value to the business.

Furthermore, the following are common technical software engineering skills that are likely needed to secure a Software Engineer’s job:

  • Coding and computer programming (Java, Python, C and C++, JavaScript)
  • Software testing
  • Object-oriented design (OOD)
  • Database knowledge

Duties - The role and responsibilities of a Software Engineer 

There’s probably no such thing as a typical day in a Software Engineer’s job, but there are some duties which are always likely to be part of your responsibilities. They include designing and implementing new systems and networks, monitoring the performance of existing systems, maintaining the integrity of local networks, repairing potential issues, writing operational guides and communicating with colleagues in other departments.

Salary and remuneration - What is a Software Engineer’s salary? 

The exact salary in a Software Engineering role depends on the company and sector. That being said, a Software Engineer's salary in Hong Kong is very comfortable. The higher Software Engineer salaries can be found in key sectors like finance, fintech and telecoms. 

Software Engineering is a job that pays well as it can be considered a hard occupation. It requires creativity and discipline to become successful as every day can be different and challenges are high-pressure. The software can also be extremely complex to solve or work with. Ultimately, skilled and knowledgeable software engineers can be hard to come by as they are highly sought after by top organisations, so these organisations are willing to pay individuals with those skill sets a higher salary and provide extremely attractive job packages. 

Career development - What is the next step after a Software Engineer job? 

As technology continues to grow rapidly, opportunities for Software Engineers in the field are also scaling. The development of softer skills has meant that management roles are open for Software Engineers to jump into. Therefore, a Software Engineer job is a good starting point for later management positions such as a lead developer or Chief Technology Officer.
