Tech Jobs in Charlotte, NC

47,165 open positions · Updated daily

Charlotte, NC has surged as a tech hotspot thanks to its strong university pipeline, affordable living, and a culture of innovation that attracts both startups and Fortune 500 firms. The city’s tech talent pool is nurtured by institutions like UNC Charlotte’s College of Engineering and rapidly growing co‑working hubs in Uptown and South End.

In Charlotte, the tech ecosystem spans financial technology (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, TriNet), healthcare IT (Epic Systems, Cerner, Medtronic), cloud and AI platforms (IBM, Cisco, C3.ai), and e‑commerce software (Shopify’s regional offices, BigCommerce). Startups thrive in NoDa’s arts district, while large companies maintain research labs in Ballantyne and a new data center near the airport.

The city’s cost of living is roughly 10% above the national average, yet housing remains more affordable than nearby metro areas like Raleigh or Atlanta. Transparent salary data helps job seekers gauge whether a role’s compensation aligns with local living costs, especially when considering the average rent in neighborhoods such as Dilworth, Plaza Midwood, or the burgeoning South Park area.
