Description
Outsystems, a company specialising in low-code platforms for rapid application development, will recruit 300 workers by the end of 2020. The company wants to recruit employees in the following areas: software engineering (developers, technical leads, software architects, product managers), artificial intelligence and data (AI researchers, AI scientists, data analysts, data engineers, data scientists), cloud and systems administration (site reliability engineers), and UX / UI (user experience and user interface).
According to the human resources manager, this recruitment is due to a lack of developers in the face of global demand that has been pressuring the technological market.
