Feeny is tracking about 614 open tech roles in Italy, from roughly 140 companies hiring. Each one comes from a company's own careers page, so a listing means a live role rather than a stale repost. Milan carries most of the volume, with Rome and Turin adding more. Filter by city or discipline to narrow it down. ### Which cities in Italy have the most tech jobs? Milan is the financial and startup capital, and it's where most of the tech hiring concentrates. The finance money there has begun funding a genuine software scene, which is why the depth of roles outpaces the rest of the country. Rome and Turin add real weight, particularly Turin with its engineering and manufacturing roots. Across the 2 Italian cities we index, Milan is where the search mostly points. ### What companies are hiring for tech roles in Italy? Bending Spoons is the standout, a rare Italian software giant that grew large enough to acquire well-known apps outright. Fintech has moved fast too, with Satispay building a popular payments app and Scalapay scaling in buy-now-pay-later. Most of this energy runs through Milan. Feeny lists roles from about 140 companies nationwide, so the current set is worth a direct look. ### What kinds of tech roles are common in Italy? The mix leans consumer apps, fintech, and design-and-manufacturing tech. Bending Spoons drives a lot of consumer product and mobile hiring, while Satispay and Scalapay add payments and backend roles. Turin's industrial base brings engineering work tied to manufacturing and design, a reflection of Italy's traditional strengths. It's a scene finding its feet, with Milan leading the way. ### What is it like to work in tech in Italy? Italy offers a quality of life that's hard to match, and Milan's growing scene means you no longer have to leave the country to work at a serious software company. The trade is that the tech market is younger and smaller than Germany's or the Netherlands', so the range of roles is narrower. Milan is the most expensive Italian city, though still cheaper than London or Zurich. If you value lifestyle and are comfortable with a scene still on the rise, it's an appealing bet. ### Can international candidates get a work visa to work in tech in Italy? The EU Blue Card is the main route for skilled non-EU hires, and it's the path most engineers will take. Italy also runs a Digital Nomad visa, which suits remote-friendly roles. The foreign-hiring pipeline is smaller than Germany's or the Netherlands', so expect fewer employers who process visas routinely, though that's slowly changing. The market is opening up, but it's earlier in that shift than the bigger European hubs. --- _Source: https://feeny.ai/location/italy_
