Georgia
Atlanta is the center of gravity, and its tech scene grew out of two strengths: fintech and enterprise software. OneTrust, Calendly, and Salesloft built big businesses here, and the city's payments heritage (it processes a huge share of US card transactions) keeps drawing fintech founders. Lower costs than the coasts and a deep university pipeline do the rest.

Where Georgia’s tech talent studies
Georgia Tech is the engine, producing founders like ISS's Chris Klaus and Google News creator Krishna Bharat, and it feeds Atlanta's engineering roles directly. Georgia State adds an entrepreneurial streak (Home Depot's Bernie Marcus, CNN's Ted Turner, Shift4's Jared Isaacman), while the Atlanta University Center schools (Spelman, Morehouse) produce leaders across tech and business.

Tech jobs in Georgia: common questions
How many tech jobs are open in Georgia right now?
There are about 1,323 open tech roles in Georgia on Feeny, from roughly 315 companies hiring right now. They're drawn from live company career pages, so a listing here is a job someone is actively trying to fill. Atlanta accounts for nearly all of it, with a small spillover into Alpharetta up north. Filter by role or city to see what matches.
Which Georgia cities have the most tech jobs?
Atlanta is the center of gravity, full stop. It holds the fintech and enterprise software base that defines tech in the state, and most openings live there. Alpharetta, just north in the metro, adds a smaller cluster of tech employers. Of the 2 Georgia cities we index, Atlanta carries the overwhelming majority.
What companies are hiring for tech roles in Georgia?
Atlanta's software names lead the list: OneTrust, Calendly, and Salesloft all grew into big businesses here. The city's payments heritage matters too, since it processes a huge share of US card transactions, and that history keeps drawing fintech founders and the engineers who follow them. The result is a deep bench of enterprise and fintech employers. Feeny lists roles from about 315 companies statewide, so browse the current mix directly.
What kinds of tech roles are common in Georgia?
Fintech and enterprise software set the pace, shaped by Atlanta's long history as a payments capital. That heritage means a lot of backend, payments, and platform engineering work, plus the sales and product roles that companies like Salesloft and Calendly built their businesses around. Privacy and compliance software shows up too, thanks to OneTrust. It's a B2B-heavy market more than a consumer one.
What is it like to work in tech in Georgia?
Atlanta offers a rare combination: real tech density at a cost that stays reasonable. Cost of living sits around 6 percent below the national average, so a fintech salary stretches further than it would in a coastal hub. A deep university pipeline feeds the talent market, which is part of why so many companies plant roots here. The honest trade is that the scene is B2B and enterprise-flavored, so it's a better fit for that work than for consumer-startup hunting.
