Tech Jobs in Palo Alto, CA
1,247,404 open positions · Updated daily
Palo Alto sits at the heart of Silicon Valley and hosts a dense concentration of venture capital and research institutions. The city’s proximity to Stanford University, plus its own network of incubators such as the Palo Alto Innovation Fund, fuels a steady stream of high‑growth startups and established tech giants. This environment pushes average salary premiums and offers abundant networking events, hackathons, and mentorship programs that keep talent highly competitive.
Tech employers in Palo Alto range from industry titans—Google, Meta, Apple, Palantir—to fast‑moving firms like Vercel, Asana, and Clari. The area also hosts leading biotech firms—Genentech, Illumina, and Gilead Sciences—and emerging artificial‑intelligence labs such as DeepMind’s U.S. office. Product managers, data scientists, and software engineers find roles across software, cloud, AI, biotech, and cybersecurity sectors.
Cost of living in Palo Alto tops the national average: median home price exceeds $2.5 million, and the average rent for a one‑bedroom apartment is around $3,300/month. Because housing and transportation expenses consume roughly 45% of gross income, transparent salary data lets candidates benchmark offers, negotiate effectively, and decide whether a position meets their financial needs before relocating.
