Tech Jobs in Houston, TX

157,543 open positions · Updated daily

Houston has become a magnet for tech talent thanks to its blend of legacy energy companies, booming aerospace and biomedical research, and a growing SaaS ecosystem. The city offers a lower cost of living than many tech hubs, a high quality of life, and a talent pipeline from institutions like Rice University and UT‑Health.

Tech roles in Houston span everything from data engineering for oil and gas analytics at companies like Schlumberger, to AI research for medical imaging at MD Anderson, to software development for fintech startups in the Galleria District. Aerospace firms such as Lockheed Martin and SpaceX also hire embedded systems engineers and cyber‑security specialists.

With median home prices hovering near $300,000 but rapidly rising in sought‑after neighborhoods such as West University Place and River Oaks, salary transparency is essential. Knowing how your potential pay compares to peers in similar sectors lets candidates negotiate effectively and plan for the city’s unique cost structure.
