New York
New York runs its tech scene on money and media. Fintech leads the way, with Ramp, Justworks, and the hedge fund Point72 all hiring, and a fast-growing legal-and-enterprise AI cluster around Harvey, EliseAI, and Clay. The New York Times and DoorDash keep large engineering teams here too, so the roles span Wall Street infrastructure, consumer apps, and the AI startups filling in between.

Where New York’s tech talent studies
New York's tech talent comes from two directions. Cornell and Columbia feed founders and investors into the city (Cornell alone produced Qualcomm's Irwin Jacobs and Y Combinator's Paul Graham), while NYU sits in the middle of Manhattan and sends engineers straight into its startups. Upstate does the heavy engineering: RPI, Rochester, and RIT turn out the hardware and systems people, and Baruch quietly feeds Wall Street's finance-and-tech pipeline.

Tech jobs in New York: common questions
How many tech jobs are open in New York right now?
Feeny is tracking about 10,438 open tech, startup, and AI roles across New York, from 1,515 companies actively hiring. The number moves week to week as boards refresh, so what you see is live, not a stale snapshot. Most of it sits in the city, but the count spans everything from Series A startups to the engineering teams at DoorDash and The New York Times.
Which New York cities have the most tech jobs?
Manhattan does most of the hiring by a wide margin, and Brooklyn has become a real second center for startups. Upstate is smaller but genuine: Rochester still runs on its optics and imaging heritage, and Ithaca feeds off Cornell. Across 4 New York cities on Feeny, the pattern holds that the closer you get to Lower Manhattan and the Flatiron district, the denser the fintech and enterprise-AI roles get.
What companies are hiring for tech roles in New York?
The mix is money, media, and a fast-rising AI layer. Ramp and Justworks anchor fintech, the hedge fund Point72 hires quants and engineers, and Harvey, EliseAI, and Clay lead a legal-and-enterprise AI cluster that barely existed three years ago. The New York Times and DoorDash keep large product and engineering teams here too, so you are not choosing between startups and scale, you get both.
What kinds of tech roles are common in New York?
New York rewards people who can sit at the seam between technology and a regulated industry. Fintech and trading pull in backend engineers, quants, and infrastructure people; the AI startups want applied ML and founding engineers; and the media and commerce giants hire across product, design, and data. If your background touches finance, law, or advertising, this is the market where that context is an asset instead of a footnote.
What is it like to work in tech in New York?
It is expensive and it is dense, and for a lot of people that trade is the point. The cost of living runs well above the national average, driven almost entirely by city housing, but you are inside the country's second-largest tech ecosystem with an in-person culture that runs on meetups, demo nights, and a short subway ride between offices. Remote and hybrid roles exist, but New York still skews toward showing up, and the payoff is a scene where the fintech, media, and AI worlds actually overlap.
