16,776 open positions · Updated daily

Shanghai’s skyline of skyscrapers mirrors its booming tech sector. The city hosts the annual China International Internet Expo and the Shanghai Mobile Internet Conference, drawing global talent and investors. With 4,557 open tech listings, developers, data scientists and product managers find a competitive ecosystem fueled by strong venture capital flows and a culture of rapid prototyping.

Key players in Shanghai include Alibaba’s Shanghai HQ, Tencent’s AI Lab, ByteDance’s data center, DJI’s robotics campus, and SenseTime’s AI research hub. Fintech giants like Ant Financial and Ping An operate large Shanghai branches, while cloud giants Huawei Cloud and Alibaba Cloud maintain regional data centers. Startups in autonomous driving, health tech, and 5G infrastructure also thrive in neighborhoods such as Pudong’s Lujiazui district and Xuhui’s Xujiahui tech corridor.

Living costs in Shanghai are high: average monthly rent for a one‑bedroom in Jing’an or Xuhui ranges from ¥8,000‑¥12,000, while public transport and meals add another ¥2,000‑¥3,000. Transparent salary data helps candidates gauge whether a role’s compensation—often 20,000‑35,000 RMB a month for software engineers—covers these expenses and allows for savings.
