Tech jobs in Missouri: common questions
How many tech jobs are open in Missouri right now?
Feeny lists about 293 open tech roles in Missouri from roughly 69 companies. Each comes from an employer's own careers page and gets refreshed, so you are seeing live openings, not recycled listings. The count splits fairly evenly between the state's two metros.
Which Missouri cities have the most tech jobs?
The tech work divides between St. Louis and Kansas City, which sit at opposite ends of the state and each run their own scene. St. Louis leans toward agtech and fintech, while Kansas City spreads across a wider mix. The openings span 2 Missouri cities, so where you land depends a lot on which of the two metros you prefer.
What companies are hiring for tech roles in Missouri?
St. Louis is the more concentrated story: Square, now Block, built a large office there, and EquipmentShare grew out of the state into one of the Midwest's largest private tech companies. Between the fintech presence and the construction-tech scale-ups, there is more serious software here than the state's reputation suggests. Kansas City adds its own employers on top of that.
What kinds of tech roles are common in Missouri?
The roles cluster around three areas: agtech, fintech, and construction technology. Agtech follows from the state's farming economy, fintech from Block's St. Louis footprint, and construction tech from EquipmentShare's rise. It is a practical, industry-adjacent market rather than a consumer-app one, so the work tends to touch physical operations and real supply chains.
What is it like to work in tech in Missouri?
This is one of the most affordable tech markets in the country, with cost of living about 11% below the national average. That gap is the whole pitch: a St. Louis or Kansas City salary buys a genuinely comfortable life, and homeownership is realistic on a single engineer's pay. The trade is scale, since the number of employers is smaller than a coastal hub, so switching jobs means a shorter list of options. If you want your money to go far and don't need a giant market, it is a strong quiet bet.
