Tech Jobs in Ottawa ON
1,774,834 open positions · Updated daily
Ottawa’s unique blend of federal government, research institutions, and a rapidly expanding startup ecosystem makes it one of Canada’s most dynamic tech markets. The city sits on the edge of the National Research Council, hosts the annual Ottawa Tech Fest, and offers a talent pool that includes alumni from the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. This concentration drives demand for software engineers, data scientists, and cybersecurity specialists, with hiring managers praising the city’s culture of collaboration and innovation.
Key industries in Ottawa include software development, AI & machine learning, quantum computing, defense electronics, and fintech. Major employers such as OpenText, Mitel, Shopify, Amazon, Microsoft, and Accenture maintain offices in Kanata, Nepean, or downtown. Startups like Hazy, the Canadian AI startup Deep Genomics, and the Cloudflare office also thrive in the local ecosystem. The city’s proximity to the federal procurement market keeps defense and government‑contracting roles in high demand.
While Ottawa’s median household income is competitive, the city’s housing market has seen steady rent increases, with downtown apartments averaging $1,800/month and Kanata family homes around $2,200/month. Salary transparency on job listings lets candidates compare offers against local cost‑of‑living benchmarks, ensuring they can afford the city’s lifestyle—especially if they’re relocating from higher‑cost metros like Toronto or Vancouver.
