Nevada
Nevada's tech economy is a tale of two engines: the gaming and hospitality technology that runs Las Vegas, and a fast-growing industrial-tech cluster near Reno anchored by the Tesla Gigafactory and Redwood Materials. No state income tax keeps drawing companies and workers. The roles span hospitality tech, batteries and advanced manufacturing, and data centers.

Unicorn startups in Nevada
Nevada's clearest unicorn is Redwood Materials, the Carson City battery-recycling company founded by a Tesla co-founder, now a multibillion-dollar player in the EV supply chain. The rest of the state's tech scale sits in the public gaming giants rather than private startups.

Tech jobs in Nevada: common questions
How many tech jobs are open in Nevada right now?
Feeny is tracking about 264 open tech roles in Nevada from roughly 65 companies. They come from the employers' own career pages and stay current, so a filled role drops off rather than sitting stale. The count leans on two very different engines at opposite ends of the state.
Which Nevada cities have the most tech jobs?
Las Vegas and Reno split the state's tech hiring, and they could not be more different in flavor. Las Vegas runs on gaming and hospitality technology, the systems behind the casinos and resorts, while Reno anchors an industrial-tech cluster built around advanced manufacturing. The openings cover 2 Nevada cities, but those two metros drive almost all of it.
What companies are hiring for tech roles in Nevada?
Near Reno the big draws are the Tesla Gigafactory and Redwood Materials, which pull battery, manufacturing, and automation talent into what used to be a quiet part of the state. Las Vegas hiring skews toward the hospitality and gaming operators that need real software behind the floor. Data-center operators add a third source of demand across both regions.
What kinds of tech roles are common in Nevada?
The mix is genuinely split: hospitality tech in Las Vegas, batteries and advanced manufacturing around Reno, and data-center infrastructure work across the state. That means the same job board can hold a casino-systems engineering role and a Gigafactory automation role, which is not a combination you see in most states. Expect more operations-adjacent and hardware-facing work than pure consumer software.
What is it like to work in tech in Nevada?
The headline perk is taxes: Nevada has no state income tax, which is a real draw for both companies and workers weighing a move. Cost of living sits close to the national average, so that tax advantage isn't offset by coastal-level housing. The trade is depth and breadth, since the tech scene is younger and narrower than a legacy hub, and outside the two engines the employer list thins quickly. For someone whose skills fit manufacturing or hospitality systems, the take-home math is hard to beat.
