The roles here that state pay post a median $136k/yr, with typical pay from $104k–$222k/yr; 93.2% of Colorado's postings state their pay at all, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state. Colorado's law has required every employer with at least one employee in Colorado to state a pay range in job postings since 1 Jan 2021 (each state's law beside its postings). For reference, the 1,000 information security analysts working in the Colorado Springs area, in any industry, earn a median $131k/yr (BLS, May 2025). The space roles for cybersecurity experts here post a median $136k/yr today, 3.9% above that; our research on levels and pay sets every profession and area side by side, once a day.

Of the 2,072 space postings in Colorado whose text we read, 58.3% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 63.3% name a security clearance, by our research on who can apply, which compares every state. Each posting states its own rule, often citing export control under ITAR or the EAR.

We read each employer's own job board every hour. A role is listed here when it is a US role and its own location line names a place in the Colorado Springs area (the Colorado Springs, CO metropolitan statistical area as the Census Bureau draws it: El Paso and Teller counties), by the same reading as our research on where space jobs are, and its title names the profession by the same rule as the page for cybersecurity experts; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
