Tech Jobs in Ann Arbor

The fastest path to a tech job in Ann Arbor in 2026 runs through three filters in this order: company funding signals, stack-specific hiring patterns, and the right job board. Skip the first filter and you spend weeks applying to companies that posted reqs they will not actually fill. Skip the second and you waste interviews at shops that are not hiring your stack. Skip the third and you miss the 30% of openings that never make it onto Indeed.

This page is refreshed monthly. The list of named hiring companies and recent funding rounds is current as of April 2026. The next refresh is scheduled for late May.

Who is hiring right now, by stack

Python and ML

Voxel51 is the most active Python and ML hiring company in town. Post-Bessemer-led $30M Series B in May 2024, the company has grown its FiftyOne platform team across both open-source maintainers and enterprise-tier engineers. Open roles in 2026 cluster around computer vision data engineering, MLOps platform, and applied ML for customer success. Apply at voxel51.com/careers.

Genomenon is hiring Python ML engineers for the Mastermind genomic search platform. Their Series B ($20M led by Beringea, 2022) funded a multi-year build-out of the variant-evidence pipeline. The 1,000+ genetic-testing-lab customer base creates steady backend hiring.

BlueConduit hires Python data scientists for water infrastructure and lead-service-line modeling. The Google.org and Rockefeller Foundation backing of LeadOut Map keeps the team funded across municipal contracts. Most roles are Ann Arbor or remote-with-AA-base.

Workit Health hires Python and ML engineers for clinical decision support and care-delivery automation. Their $118M Series C closed October 2021 led by Insight Partners; the company has continued hiring through that runway.

Go and Rust infrastructure

Censys is the largest Go and Rust shop in town. The internet-scale scanning infrastructure that grew out of ZMap is rewritten across both languages, and the team hires senior infrastructure engineers continuously. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence multi-year contract announced in late 2024 backstops the hiring runway.

Blumira hires Go engineers for the cloud SIEM and XDR platform. Their $15M Series B (Ten Eleven Ventures, 2023, with Jonathan Oberheide of Duo participating) funded a backend platform expansion. The mid-market customer base (300+ at last public count) creates steady detection-engineering and platform hiring.

MemryX hires C++ and embedded systems engineers for the MX3 edge-AI accelerator. The $44M Series B in 2025 funded production scaling, and the dual Ann Arbor / Hsinchu footprint means roles in both software and silicon.

Mobile and embedded

May Mobility hires across robotics middleware, perception, and vehicle systems. The 342-person company is the largest pure-play AV employer in town. Most software engineering openings are AA-based, with deployments staffed in Atlanta, Peachtree Corners, and Sun City AZ. Senior roles are densest around motion planning and safety supervision.

MemryX is hiring embedded systems engineers (ARM, RISC-V, custom AI accelerator targets) and computer vision engineers for the MX3 chip's reference applications.

Quantum Signal AI (Ford) hires simulation engineers and AV algorithm developers in Saline. The acquisition by Ford in 2019 stabilized the funding, and the team has continued to grow.

Torc Robotics opened a 32,000 sq ft Ann Arbor Technology Center in June 2025 for autonomous trucking. The team is hiring across perception, sensor fusion, and safety supervision toward a 2027 commercial launch.

Java and Spring enterprise

Cisco Duo is the largest Java and Spring shop in Ann Arbor. The identity and access platform runs on a JVM stack with significant Kotlin adoption in newer services. Job postings route through jobs.cisco.com filtered to Ann Arbor; senior backend, security platform, and SRE openings are evergreen.

Sartorius Ann Arbor hires Java engineers for the bioanalytics platform at the Research Park Drive Center of Excellence. The $100M, 130,000 sq ft facility opened in 2024 and is staffed with a mix of biology, software, and platform engineering.

React, TypeScript, and full-stack web

Workit Health hires React and TypeScript engineers for the patient-facing telehealth app and the clinician portal. The team has been remote-with-AA-base for several years; engineering leadership is local.

Nutshell (acquired by WebFX in October 2022) hires across React, Ruby on Rails, and Go. The Ann Arbor team was retained post-acquisition and has continued to hire on engineering, product, and customer success.

Plinqit hires React and Node engineers for the savings-app platform serving banks and credit unions. The team is small and hiring is intermittent; watch the careers page rather than depending on Indeed.

Optilogic hires full-stack engineers for the Cosmic Frog supply chain design platform. Founded by Don Hicks (the Llamasoft founder), the company has the Llamasoft engineering pedigree and the GM customer relationship to back its hiring.

Data engineering and analytics

Sight Machine hires data engineers and platform engineers for manufacturing analytics. The Global 500 customer base creates steady demand for data pipeline and ML inference engineering. The team splits between SF and Ann Arbor.

ArborMetrix hires data engineers and ML engineers for healthcare real-world evidence analytics. The Liberty Street office has a tight-knit team and the AMxEngage product is driving recent platform hiring.

Hardware, semiconductors, and edge

KLA hires across software, AI, semiconductor metrology, and image processing. The 600+ engineer Ann Arbor campus opened in November 2021 and continues to grow. The KLA AI R&D group is the densest concentration of senior-level applied ML roles in town outside of Google AA.

Movellus hires SoC clocking and IP design engineers across San Jose and Ann Arbor. The Series B $37.5M total raise funds steady mid- to senior-level chip design hiring.

MemryX is the other named edge-AI semiconductor hirer in town. See the Go and Rust section above.

Recent funding rounds, the leading indicator

Tech hiring in Ann Arbor follows funding rounds with an 8 to 14-week lag. The most reliable predictor of who is about to start backfilling and expanding teams is who just closed a round. Names and rounds you should be tracking in 2026:

Voxel51 closed a $30M Series B in May 2024 led by Bessemer Venture Partners. Hiring picked up sharply in Q4 2024 and continues across the platform team.
MemryX closed a $44M Series B in 2025. Production scale-up is funding C++ and silicon hiring across AA and Taipei.
**SkySpecs closed an $80M round in May 2022 led by Goldman Sachs Sustainable Investing for renewable asset management software. Hiring across renewables analytics and platform engineering continues.
May Mobility raised in October 2025 with Grab participating for SE Asia expansion. Total raised across rounds approaches $307M. Hiring continues across robotics middleware and perception.
Akadeum Life Sciences closed $20M+ in June 2025 for buoyancy-activated cell sorting. Hiring across hardware engineering and biology integration.
Censys closed a $40M Series D plus a $30M debt facility, with the ODNI multi-year government contract announced late 2024 backstopping continued hiring.
HistoSonics received a 2024 majority recapitalization from K5 Global, Bezos Expeditions, and Wellington Management at a $1B+ valuation. Manufacturing scale-up is driving steady hardware, software, and quality engineering hiring.

Where to look (and where not to)

Built In Ann Arbor (builtin.com/ann-arbor). The default starting point. 370+ companies indexed, filterable by stack, level, and remote policy. Update cadence is reliable. The downside is that it skews toward larger companies that pay for placement; many seed and Series A AA companies are absent.

Purpose Jobs (purpose.jobs). Detroit-based job marketplace with strong AA coverage. The "Hiring Now" filter actually reflects current openings. Better than Built In for catching mid-market and growth-stage roles.

jobs.cisco.com filtered to Ann Arbor. The single most valuable URL for Ann Arbor backend and security engineers. Every Cisco Duo opening goes here. Filter to "Ann Arbor, MI" and sort by date posted.

Company careers pages, directly. For Voxel51, Censys, May Mobility, KLA, Workit Health, Genomenon, and MemryX, the careers page is more current than any aggregator. Most of these companies post roles to their own page 1 to 3 weeks before they appear on Built In or LinkedIn.

LinkedIn and Indeed. Use them, but as the third filter, not the first. LinkedIn's "set alert for X jobs in Y location" function is genuinely useful for niche stacks (Rust, embedded, MLOps). Indeed's coverage is shallowest in mid-market and startup tier.

Hidden channels worth knowing. a2NewTech on the third Tuesday of each month is where founders pitch and recruit informally. The Michigan Founders Fund operator-network email list circulates senior roles before they hit a public board. SPARK's Tech Trek event (week-long, late September) is the densest in-person hiring window of the year.

Realistic timeline

For a senior-level role at a named Ann Arbor company in 2026, expect:

Application to phone screen: 5 to 14 days at named companies, longer at companies in a hiring freeze that have not closed their reqs.
Phone screen to first onsite: 7 to 21 days. Most local companies still do mostly-remote interviews with one onsite or virtual onsite at the final stage.
Onsite to offer: 5 to 10 business days for fast-moving startups, 14 to 30 days for enterprise (Cisco, KLA, Google).
Offer to start date: 30 to 45 days for engineers leaving another job.
Total from "I'm looking" to "first day": 8 to 14 weeks, end-to-end.

If you are searching from out of state and need to relocate, add 30 to 60 days for the move. See moving to Ann Arbor for tech for the relocation playbook.
