Tech Jobs in Baton Rouge, LA

65,725 open positions · Updated daily

Baton Rouge's tech scene is accelerating thanks to a diversified economy that blends energy, healthcare, and research. LSU’s Innovation Hub brings start‑ups to the city, while established firms like Honeywell and Shell Energy Services maintain a steady demand for software engineers, data scientists and cybersecurity specialists. The city’s steady population growth and growing venture capital presence make Baton Rouge an attractive spot for tech talent seeking new opportunities.

Tech roles in Baton Rouge span from energy‑focused software development at Shell Energy Services and Honeywell, to healthcare informatics at Northshore Hospital, to data analytics for the Louisiana State University research labs. Start‑ups in the Innovation Hub often look for full‑stack developers, UX designers and DevOps engineers, while the city’s logistics companies need supply‑chain analysts and AI engineers. The region also hosts a growing number of fintech and agri‑tech firms.

Baton Rouge’s cost of living is roughly 12% below the national average, with median home prices near $200,000 and monthly utilities under $150. Because housing and daily expenses can vary widely by neighborhood—such as the upscale West End versus the more affordable Downtown—salary transparency helps candidates compare offers accurately. Knowing the exact compensation range enables applicants to decide whether a role’s salary, benefits and relocation incentives truly match their expectations.
