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.

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 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.
