Abstract
Enterprises are increasingly adopting serverless computing to enhance
scalability, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. However, this shift
introduces new responsibilities and necessitates a distinct set of skills for
practitioners. This study aims to identify and organize the industry
requirements for serverless practitioners by conducting a qualitative analysis
of 141 job advertisements from seven countries. We developed comprehensive
taxonomies of roles, responsibilities, and skills, categorizing 19
responsibilities into four themes: software development, infrastructure and
operations, professional development and leadership, and software business.
Additionally, we identified 28 hard skills mapped into seven themes and 32 soft
skills mapped into eight themes, with the six most demanded soft skills being
communication proficiency, continuous learning and adaptability, collaborative
teamwork, problem-solving and analytical skills, leadership excellence, and
project management. Our findings contribute to understanding the organizational
structures and training requirements for effective serverless computing
adoption.
