Aurora Tech Jobs: 5,000+ Openings Show What Workers Earn
Over 5,000 technical positions sit open across the city, with specific pay ranges and requirements listed on major job boards.
How we reported this
Aurora lists more than 5,000 technical jobs right now, among them 778 Information Technology roles and 560 Software Professional positions, according to current Indeed postings. Job seekers checking those boards will also find Meta actively recruiting a Data Center Production Operations Engineer for its Aurora site at $34.13 to $49.52 per hour.
The numbers matter because Aurora has added 5,771 jobs since 2020 after earlier pandemic losses, with technology roles forming a visible slice of that recovery alongside larger sectors such as health care. Local listings show the openings are spread across entry points and senior titles, giving workers at different experience levels concrete targets rather than vague prospects.
Entry-level and support roles
More than 1,000 entry-level IT jobs appear in Aurora searches, including roughly 300 postings labeled specifically for beginners. IT Support Technician positions pay between $19.50 and $28.60 an hour and typically list three or more years of end-user support plus an A+ certification as minimum requirements.
These figures come directly from aggregated ZipRecruiter and Indeed data for the city. Applicants who hold the A+ credential and can demonstrate desktop or server troubleshooting experience meet the stated thresholds on most of the support listings.
Higher-level and specialized positions
Vice President of Information Technology and Business Systems leadership roles in Aurora carry annual salaries from $94,000 to $160,000. Meta’s operations-engineer posting requires Linux and server-hardware knowledge, skills that also appear in several senior data-center listings.
Workers aiming for those salaries should verify they meet the posted technical criteria before applying, since the same boards that show the pay ranges also publish the exact qualifications. Checking Indeed and LinkedIn daily keeps candidates aligned with the newest postings and the precise experience levels each employer requests.
