The demand for .NET developers in Ireland remains strong in 2025, with a particular focus on ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and Entity Framework. As cloud adoption accelerates, companies are prioritising candidates with expertise in Microsoft Azure, serverless computing, and cloud-native development.
A major trend this year is the rise of AI-driven applications and automation, with businesses integrating machine learning and AI APIs into .NET ecosystems. Developers with experience in Azure AI services, cognitive APIs, and .NET MAUI for cross-platform development are in high demand.
The shift towards microservices and containerisation continues, with companies seeking professionals skilled in Docker, Kubernetes, and DevOps pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions). Additionally, full-stack capabilities—including React, Angular, or Vue.js on the frontend—are increasingly valued.
Salaries for .NET developers have continued to rise, particularly for mid-to-senior roles. Hybrid and remote work remain the standard, allowing professionals to access more flexible, well-compensated opportunities across industries such as finance, healthcare, and SaaS.
For job seekers, 2025 presents excellent prospects for career growth, exposure to cutting-edge technologies, and strong work-life balance. Companies are looking for tech-savvy, adaptable, and collaborative .NET professionals who can contribute to long-term strategic projects.
