Based only on the listings that state pay. Gross annual amounts, converted to USD so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
The market right now
Alion currently lists 8,843 open Tech jobs in Chicago from 1,880 companies. 1,342 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 1,752 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.
What these roles pay
4,448 of these Tech jobs in Chicago state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $155K and $240K a year, with a median of $196K. By level, the median runs intern at $130K, junior at $120K, middle at $150K, senior at $190K, staff at $230K, lead at $220K, and executive at $250K. The step from intern to executive is worth about 1.9x on median pay. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
Where the work is
The largest concentrations of these roles are United States (1,033), Singapore (18), Georgia (12), Spain (12), and Hong Kong (12). 91% of the listings are fully remote, so a large part of this market is open to you regardless of where you live.
Who is hiring
The employers with the most open Tech jobs in Chicago right now are Clickhouse (117), Affirm (101), Reddit (98), Veeva Systems (87), AbbVie (77), and Coinbase (73). Each company page on Alion carries its size, funding stage, tech stack and every other position it has open, so you can judge the employer before you spend an evening on the application.
What employers ask for
Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are Python (3,104), AWS (2,516), AI Agents (1,987), CI/CD (1,922), SQL (1,801), Kubernetes (1,624), JavaScript (1,571), and Azure (1,502). The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list.
Relocation, visas and equity
Of the current Tech jobs in Chicago, 754 state visa sponsorship, 282 offer a relocation package, and 2,134 include equity. These are filters on the list above, so you can narrow it to the ones that make a move possible for you.
