"Miami tech" used to mean a conference and a hashtag. In 2026 it means a $12B AI company, the world's most profitable market maker, and a $200B enterprise software giant all recruiting here at once.
This is our living roundup of South Florida tech employers that are actively hiring β verified against their own careers pages and live listings as of August 2026. We don't list companies on vibes, and we don't invent openings: every entry below had real, current listings when we last checked, and each links straight to the source of truth.
Two honest caveats. First, this is a snapshot β openings move weekly, so always confirm on the linked careers page before you plan around anything here. Second, South Florida is still a smaller market than NYC or SF in absolute volume. What's changed is the quality of the demand: the roles below span frontier AI, quant finance, enterprise software, and freshly funded startups from our South Florida Funding Tracker.

Employer by Employer
OpenEvidence
Engineering, SRE, security, data/AI
The $12B 'ChatGPT for doctors' moved its HQ to Miami and has been the single most aggressive tech hirer in the market β roughly 120 roles opened in 2026 alone, about 10 a month. Miami listings skew deeply technical: site reliability, backend and infrastructure, and platform security engineering. If you want frontier-AI-company velocity without leaving South Florida, this is the flagship.
Citadel / Citadel Securities
Software engineering, ML/research, quant, data
Ken Griffin's twin firms anchored the 'Wall Street South' migration and hire continuously in Miami β software engineering, ML/research engineering, and data research roles, plus intern classes paying $4,500β$5,800 per week. Comp is top-of-national-market regardless of geography, which makes these the highest-paying engineering seats in Florida. The hedge fund side hires separately at citadel.com/careers.
ServiceNow
Go-to-market, strategy, people ops β engineering ramping
The $200B enterprise software giant signed a 211K sq ft anchor lease at 10 CityPlace and is ramping toward roughly 850 WPB jobs at ~$170K average wages, with a temporary office ahead of the late-2028 opening. It even maintains a dedicated West Palm Beach careers page, with relocation provided. Early listings skew go-to-market and operations β GTM strategic planning, people operations β with technical roles expected to layer in as the hub scales. Full breakdown in our ServiceNow West Palm deep dive.
Kaseya
DevOps, cybersecurity, sales, account management
Miami's biggest homegrown software employer (IT management and security software for MSPs, and the name on the arena). Roughly 26 open Miami roles as of this snapshot: DevOps management, cybersecurity onboarding specialists, and a deep bench of account management and renewals seats. Historically the highest-volume entry point into Miami tech β especially on the GTM side.
Chewy
Software engineering, security, enterprise systems
The pet-commerce giant runs one of Broward County's largest corporate tech hubs in Plantation, with 100+ local openings at this snapshot. Tech listings include Software Engineer III, ServiceNow developers for internal automation, and security analysts for its Global Security Operations Center. One of the few places in SoFl doing large-scale consumer ecommerce engineering.
Carnival Corporation
Cybersecurity, ecommerce, guest technology
The world's largest cruise operator is quietly one of Miami's steadiest tech employers β 70+ open Miami roles at this snapshot, with dedicated cybersecurity, ecommerce, and guest technology categories. Most corporate roles run a MondayβThursday in-office schedule with Fridays remote. Travel tech at genuine scale, headquartered here for decades.
NBCUniversal / Telemundo
Broadcast/production technology, IT, media engineering
Telemundo Center is the Spanish-language media capital of the US, and its tech openings reflect it: production technology engineering, production technology support management, IT management, and technical project management internships. Volume is modest (around 20 open Miami roles at this snapshot), but these are specialized media-engineering seats that barely exist elsewhere in Florida.
Hydra Host
Platform reliability, network automation, sales, ops
Fresh off a $100M Series A led by Kindred Ventures (with Nvidia and Founders Fund participating), the GPU-neocloud broker is hiring across the board: platform reliability engineers, network automation engineers, regional sales directors, and operations managers. Remote-first with a Miami hub β the purest AI-infrastructure job in the market. Round details in our funding tracker.
eMed
Product, design, clinical ops, sales, internships
The Linda Yaccarino-led GLP-1 employer platform raised a $200M Series A at a $2B+ valuation in March and is staffing up accordingly: product managers, product designers ($81Kβ$131K posted), directors of product and clinical operations, plus a structured Miami summer internship program. One of the few SoFl startups hiring seriously across product and design, not just engineering.
Cyclops
Engineering, payments/stablecoin infrastructure
The stablecoin-settlement startup from The Giving Block's founders closed a $20M Series A in July (Nava Ventures leading, Coinbase Ventures and Circle in) with Shift4 and Mastercard already clients. Remote-first team hiring across Miami, Vienna, and remote. Early-stage headcount, so listings are few but high-leverage β check the careers page for what's live.
ServiceNow's West Palm Beach buildout is the single biggest story on this list β we covered the lease, the economics, and the hiring timeline in depth in our ServiceNow West Palm Beach deep dive.
Smaller Footprints Worth Watching
Two names people always ask about, framed honestly. Spotify keeps a Miami presence oriented around Latin American partnerships and content β a handful of open roles at any given time (around 4β6 listings at this snapshot), not an engineering hub. Check lifeatspotify.com/jobs and filter by Miami.
Microsoft has long run its Latin America regional operations from South Florida, but we could not verify a meaningful local engineering hub or dedicated Miami hiring push as of August 2026 β most "Microsoft Miami" listings on job boards are actually third-party roles requiring Microsoft skills. We'll update this section if that changes; the canonical source is jobs.careers.microsoft.com.
The Salary Reality Check
Directionally β and this is market-survey data, not offer letters β 2026 comps put Miami software engineers around $100Kβ$155K, versus roughly $135Kβ$210K in New York and $140Kβ$220K in San Francisco. Most local employers pay a discount to the coasts.
The exceptions are the transplants that brought their comp bands with them: Citadel and Citadel Securities pay top-of-national-market in Miami, and ServiceNow's WPB roles average about $170K. Layer on zero state income tax and (outside the Miami luxury core) cheaper housing, and the take-home gap versus NYC narrows considerably β but pretending it doesn't exist would be dishonest, so we won't.
