    Thanks to the actions of the city government, Portland, Oregon is one of the greenest cities in the world. The region’s unique geography gives Portland, Oregon a temperate climate with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Portland is also known as a hub for technology and innovation, with nearly 1,300 tech companies situated in the Portland metro area. The largest employer in the area is Intel, an influential player in the manufacturing of computer components.

    As a regional tech hub, Portland offers excellent job prospects and so much more. Lauded for the training available for those starting out, or already working in, a technology-related position, Portland is the place to be for those looking for a smaller, more welcoming “Silicon Valley” type of energy. That’s exactly why the stars from all hubs, especially the Bay Area, are moving to Portland. The city offers everything a tech professional gets in one of the more crowded and expensive locations, with the benefits of stretching out and enjoying both the workplace and the lifestyle.

    The economy in Portland is strong, making it attractive to all levels of tech businesses. In return, as a tech mecca, the companies create jobs, expanding the tech scene. Portland is in a sweet spot at this moment, as it garners the buzz as a secret that’s about to be exposed regarding all things technology-related. As such, companies that aren’t necessarily tech-related are also moving into the area, resulting in even more opportunities for all who live there. Startups and consultants flock to the region, not just for the huge amount of support and options but because the quality of life is excellent.

    Cleverly nicknamed “The Silicon Forest,” Portlanders show off a location that has the best of both worlds: terrific job opportunities with nature at their back door. Fortune 500 companies such as Nike and Precision Castparts are aware that tech wizards are in high demand everywhere in the nation, so they strive to make their workplaces as alluring as possible. According to their workforce, they’ve done an excellent job, as both companies rank high in employee satisfaction reports. The list of high-profile technology businesses and startups in Portland reaches into the thousands, but the number of available tech professionals needed at every level does not come close to meeting the demand. Recent job postings by companies headquartered in Portland include multiple opportunities for those in tech and business services. Big names looking for talent every day include Columbia Sportswear, Cambia Health Solutions, Adidas North America, and Tektronix, to drop just a few names.

    Tektronix will make many techies sit up and become even more excited about their prospects in the industry. This high-tech business began in the 1940s, along with another legend, Electro Scientific Industries. These pioneers in tech began in Portland and were successful enough to branch out into nearby areas, growing fast with the desire to encourage other tech companies to join them. They easily met their goal when companies such as Floating Point Systems joined them when they were able to go public on the NYSE. Even Intel joined the excitement by moving its most advanced technical operations to Oregon.

    Spin-offs, startups that became giants, and entrepreneurs with solid concepts helped grow Portland into the tech hub with more than 894 Silicon Forest companies. High-tech employment in the state reached almost 73,000 at the start of the millennium and has skyrocketed since then with a phenomenal 34.3% growth rate only a decade later. That rate is projected to at least hold steady or reflect Portland's incredibly successful efforts to continue to attract more companies and talent.

    Unlike other regions with “Silicon” as part of their monikers, the heart of Oregon’s tech scene is in semiconductors. Intel demonstrated how it addresses the fast-moving area of semiconductors by the creation of its Ronler Acres campus, which has become the most advanced center in that sector anywhere. Forbes Magazine recently reported how desperate businesses are to get the number of chips they need yet have to wait in line to acquire. Chips are needed in practically every corner one turns, from greeting cards to cars, kitchen appliances, phone apps, and far beyond.

    Tech Careers in Portland

    Considering a career in the tech industry is alluring, with anticipated high wages, opportunities to innovate, and a chance to make a real impact on the world. When starting a career in any area of technology, a candidate's work ethic and skills stand out. But there’s another factor that greatly influences the ability to stand out: location. Choosing a place that is hungry not just to acquire top talent but to support them enough that they’ll want to stay. As a whole, the tech community welcomes others to their hub since the overall vibe forms around the adage: “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Within that environment, spin-offs and startups flourish, and those performing at any level of any area that is tech-related flourish.

    Across the economic metrics reported by the Portland Chamber of Commerce, there is robust growth in both terms of new companies formed, companies that are setting up satellite offices through acquisition, and even from the ground up. There is a massive 36.7% upward trend in hiring in Portland across all job sectors, meaning that the landscape is wide open for those who want an extraordinary quality of life while working exactly where they’d like. Major corporations with headquarters or anchor locations in Portland include Nike, Airbnb, Squarespace, Precision Castparts, and thousands of other easily recognizable names. Portland startups that are easy to identify include companies such as Vacasa, Zapproved, Ruby Receptionist, and Puppet, showing that companies that can back up their presence with real value excel in the City of Roses.

    The flexibility and options stretch across all reaches of technology, and software engineers, creative and design talent, and web development, in particular, can locate any job they want and still stay in a location that embraces all things outdoors, as a location that entices those who enjoy all types of seasonal outdoor sports, many of the companies that attract those who want to combine their passions with their careers. Big outdoor names such as The Clymb, Dakine, Keen Footwear, Metolius Climbing, and Leatherman are prime examples of how a techie can also stay active—all as part of their job.

    So beyond the amazing opportunities for putting tech skills to work, why Portland? First of all, the city itself glows with color from the multitude of flowers, especially roses, placed throughout the metropolitan area. In winter, snowflakes fall outside of office windows reminding workers that they are only an hour away from fun in the mountains. For those who want another environment that’s easy for Portland to offer: the ocean in just one quick drive to the west.

    Respect for nature is a big deal in Portland, and in a recent report by WalletHub, Portland is the 9th greenest city in America. Residents are proud of their eco-friendly City of Roses, and many of the city’s most well-attended festivals and gatherings focus on all things clean and green. Additionally, people enjoy the scenery around them, such as the proximity to the Columbia River Gorge, Crater Lake, and Mt. Hood, where skiers can train most months of the year. Without leaving the city, locals love that their home has many hiking trails that make a living in a metro area feel like they’re living in a forest.

    Salaries for tech professionals in Portland reflect the demand for more talent to join the workforce. With robust numbers such as the average salary for Digital Designers at an astounding $196,000, who wouldn’t want a career in Portland? Other examples of average salaries include Software Engineers who can look forward to six-figure earnings that start around $115,000, or a position as a Python Developer, who can enjoy an average salary of $126,000.
