The most valued technical skills in IT

The technology market never stands still and the skills that are different today will become basic tomorrow. From our Talent department at Pasiona, we have analysed which are the most valued technical skills in IT in 2025 by the large clients we work with in sectors such as banking, insurance and traveltech.

This analysis reflects not only the technologies that companies need now, but also the trends that will shape employability in the coming years. If you want to boost your career, this is the skills map you can’t afford to miss.

Cloud computing: the new standard

Organisations are no longer asking themselves whether to migrate to the cloud, but how to do it better. That’s why a solid knowledge of Azure, AWS or Google Cloud is a must for any IT professional who wants to stand out.

Customers are looking for specialists capable of designing secure and optimised cloud architectures, managing costs and ensuring the scalability of their systems. The cloud has become the terrain where all other technological developments converge.

Microservices and container architecture

Monolithic architectures are being left behind. In their place, microservices make it possible to develop and scale functionalities independently. This is where containers (Docker, Kubernetes) come into play as a standard for deploying applications quickly and resiliently.

For an IT professional, mastering these skills means being able to work on complex projects where availability and speed of deployment are critical, from digital banking to travel platforms.

Automation and IC/DC

Speed of delivery is one of the main indicators of success in technology projects. For this reason, continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines are increasingly in demand.

Having experience in tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or Azure DevOps means you can ensure a product goes from idea to market frictionlessly and with quality. For Pasiona’s clients, this skill makes the difference between competing in the market or being left behind.

Good development practices: quality from the code

It’s not just about programming fast, it’s about programming well. In 2025, good development practices are one of the criteria most valued by large corporations.

Concepts such as SOLID, Clean Code or Test-Driven Development (TDD) are now part of the day-to-day work of the projects we manage. They are the guarantees that the software will be maintainable, scalable and resistant over time.

Databases: SQL and NoSQL

Data remains at the heart of digital transformation. At Pasiona, we observe that clients demand professionals capable of handling both relational (SQL) and non-relational (NoSQL, with MongoDB or PostgreSQL as benchmarks) databases.

The ability to design efficient structures, optimise queries and work with distributed environments is key for projects in banking, where the transaction must be immediate, or in traveltech, where millions of records are processed in seconds.

Cybersecurity and compliance

Threats are growing at the same pace as digitalisation. That is why, in regulated sectors such as banking and insurance, cybersecurity and compliance are non-negotiable.

Knowledge of ISO 27001 (information security management) or frameworks such as NIST is highly valued. Here it is not only about protecting systems, but also about ensuring continuity of service and building trust with users and customers.

Agile methodologies: beyond technique

It’s not all about tools or languages. The ability to work in agile environments is one of the skills most valued by our clients. Knowing and applying Scrum or Kanban means integrating into multidisciplinary teams, responding quickly to changes and delivering value continuously.

For many organisations, it is this combination of technical and methodological skills that makes a professional key to the success of the project.

Conclusion

Analysis by our Talent department at Pasiona confirms that the most valued technical skills in IT in 2025 go far beyond mastering a programming language. It’s about understanding the cloud, applying best practices, working with complex databases, ensuring security and adapting to agile methodologies.
