Tech Jobs in Texas

57,436 open positions · Updated daily

Texas stands out as a tech hub because it combines a growing startup ecosystem with major corporate presences, all under a no state income tax regime. Austin’s Silicon Hills, Dallas’s burgeoning fintech scene, and Houston’s energy‑tech innovation attract talent nationwide, while the state’s investment in high‑speed fiber and data centers keeps infrastructure ahead of demand.

Tech talent in Texas spans software engineering, data science, cloud architecture, and cybersecurity, but the region also fuels niche markets: aerospace and defense in El Paso, electric‑vehicle manufacturing in Austin, and biotech research near Houston’s Texas Medical Center. Companies such as Dell Technologies, T‑Mobile, Tesla, SpaceX, Google, Apple, and IBM have large campuses, while hundreds of startups in Austin’s South Congress and Dallas’s Deep Ellum keep the pulse rapid and diverse.

Housing costs differ by city—Austin’s median home price exceeds $600k, Dallas remains around $350k, and Houston offers more affordable options—but overall living expenses are lower than the national average. Transparent salary listings let job seekers weigh compensation against local cost, ensuring fair pay and informed relocation decisions across the state’s varied markets.
