Many ask for Python. Others ask for C++, C# (.NET), or Rust. Many roles ask for good English, in speech and in writing. An AI-native engineer role in Vietnam asks for one or more years of experience and a degree in a technical field. A malware researcher role asks for three or more years in malware analysis.
