Work at
Enterprise Technology
Be part of the team that keeps one of the nation's great public research universities running. Enterprise Technology serves 70,000+ students, faculty, and staff — and we're always looking for driven people who want their work to matter.
Technology work that has real consequences
When ET's network goes down, 70,000 people feel it. When we ship a new tool, every student on campus has access to it. The scale and mission of UT Austin means that the technology decisions we make — and the people who execute them — have an outsized impact.
Mission-driven work
UT Austin's mission is to transform lives through education, research, and public service. ET exists to make that possible — and every role here connects directly to that mission.
Ambitious programs
We're running one of the country's most ambitious university AI initiatives, replacing physical ID cards with mobile credentials for 100,000+ people, and modernizing the infrastructure a Tier 1 research university runs on.
Room to grow
ET is a large organization with deep professional development infrastructure — LinkedIn Learning, leadership symposia, tuition assistance, and a culture that promotes from within.
