Tech Jobs in West Suburbs

1,275,334 open positions · Updated daily

The West Suburbs, spanning Evanston, Wilmette, Northbrook, and Glenview, have become a high‑density tech corridor thanks to major corporate campuses, university research labs, and a network of agile startups. Commuters benefit from direct access to Chicago’s core via the Metra and CTA, while residents enjoy a lower commute time and a quieter, family‑friendly environment.

Key employers include Google’s Evanston office, Microsoft’s Northbrook development center, Zebra Technologies in Evanston, Cognizant’s research hub in Wilmette, and deep‑learning hardware startup SambaNova Systems headquartered in Evanston. The region also hosts a cluster of fintech and health‑tech firms that partner with Northwestern University labs, creating a vibrant ecosystem for software engineering, data science, product management, and cybersecurity talent.

While the West Suburbs offer a more affordable cost of living than downtown Chicago—median home prices hover around $400,000 in Evanston and $350,000 in Northbrook—salary transparency is crucial for evaluating the true value of a job.
