2,100 IT job title keywords sourced from six global job platforms. AUD, USD and GBP salary data. The free research tool for IT job seekers, tech recruiters and freelance IT professionals.
IT Jobs Formula is a free information technology career research tool built for IT job seekers, tech recruiters and freelance IT professionals who need to find the right job title keywords for the right platform — fast.
Founded by Matthew Bulat — a Townsville-based IT professional with 20+ years of experience as a CTO, CQUniversity Lecturer and former ACS North Queensland Chapter Chairman — IT Jobs Formula solves a real, recurring problem: every job platform uses slightly different terminology for the same roles. Searching "software engineer" on Upwork returns different results to searching it on Seek or Indeed.
We aggregate IT job title keywords from six major platforms: Seek.com.au (Australia), Indeed US, UK Indeed, Upwork, Freelancer.com and ZipRecruiter. Our database captures the exact phrases employers use on each platform — giving you the precise keyword for your cover letter, resume, job search or recruitment campaign.
Whether you are targeting your first entry level role in technical support or an established computer programmer looking to move into software development or cloud architect work, IT Jobs Formula gives you a searchable shortlist of every relevant IT job title across every major platform — all from a single page.
Each platform uses different job title terminology. Browse the database for the platform most relevant to your career or recruitment goals.
The information technology sector offers one of the broadest career landscapes of any industry. From technical support and computer science entry points to machine learning engineering and cloud architect leadership, IT careers span every skill level and background.
The IT job market is one of the strongest in the global economy right now. Three data points define the opportunity for anyone planning an information technology career in 2026.
317,700 new IT jobs every year. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects an average of 317,700 openings annually in computer science and information technology occupations from 2024 to 2034 — more than double the national average job growth rate.
$105,990 median IT salary. The BLS reports a median annual wage of $105,990 for all IT occupations as of May 2024 — more than twice the US median wage of $49,500 across all occupations. In Australia, Seek Salary Insights data confirms median ranges from $65,000 for IT support roles to $190,000 for Solutions Architects.
Remote is mainstream. Semrush data shows "it jobs remote" generating 2,400 monthly searches in the US alone, with a difficulty score of just 33 — meaning remote information technology positions are competitive but highly achievable for qualified candidates.
Whether you are looking for a full-time corporate role, a freelance contract via Upwork or Freelancer.com, or an entry level role in technical support, computer network operations or systems administration, the 2026 IT job market has genuine opportunities at every experience level.
