Tech Jobs in Australia

Positions 22,616 Updated daily

Australia’s tech market is expanding faster than many global peers, fueled by government grants for cybersecurity, a booming fintech scene in Sydney, and a growing AI research corridor in Melbourne. 747 tech positions are already listed on Job Transparency, offering developers, data scientists, and product managers immediate insight into what employers are willing to pay.

Key sectors include financial technology (companies like Atlassian, Wise, and Stripe), cloud services (AWS, Microsoft, and local startups such as Envato), and health tech hubs in Brisbane (e.g., HealthEngine). 24‑hour support roles thrive in Sydney’s tech parks, while remote‑first companies like Canva and Airwallex attract talent from across Australia and beyond.

While Sydney and Melbourne boast high salaries, the cost of living—especially housing and transportation—can offset earnings. Transparent salary data lets candidates negotiate packages that match local expenses, ensuring a realistic budget for rent in suburbs like Parramatta or Docklands, or for a family home in Brisbane’s suburbs.

What types of tech jobs are available in Australia?
Australia hosts a diverse array of tech roles, from software engineers and front‑end developers in Sydney’s fintech firms, to data scientists in Melbourne’s AI labs, to DevOps specialists at cloud providers across Brisbane, and cybersecurity analysts in government‑contracted agencies in Canberra.
How are remote and on‑site trends shaping the Australian tech market?
Remote work remains strong, especially for fintech and SaaS companies, but many tech parks in Sydney and Melbourne now offer hybrid models that require onsite collaboration days. Brisbane’s hardware startups largely prefer on‑site roles to support close teamwork.

What salary expectations should I anticipate for tech roles in Australia?
Salaries vary by city and role. Senior software engineers in Sydney can expect AUD 120k–180k, mid‑level roles start at AUD 80k. Data scientists in Melbourne range from AUD 95k–140k, and DevOps engineers in Brisbane often earn AUD 90k–130k. Remote positions may offer slightly higher packages to offset relocation costs.
What advice do you have for relocating to Australia for tech work?
Secure a work visa—most tech roles qualify for a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa. Use Job Transparency to compare salaries and cost of living in suburbs like Parramatta, Docklands, or Brisbane’s Woolloongabba. Network with local meetups such as Melbourne Tech Week, attend AussieHR conferences, and consider relocation packages offered by employers.
