Network Engineer Salary in Brazil

Network Engineer pay in Brazil: São Paulo leads, Rio de Janeiro trails

The Brazil national median for a network engineer is R$ 255.000 a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about R$ 173.000 in Rio de Janeiro to R$ 182.000 in São Paulo (1.1×).

Network engineers design, deploy, and maintain the networks that connect systems and users. Common screening skills include Routing, Switching, Firewalls, and TCP/IP.

A modeled national band runs about R$ 172.400–R$ 356.000 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +5% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Brazilian city.

São Paulo sits -29% vs the national median; Rio de Janeiro sits -32%. Relocating inside Brazil for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

Brazil shows about 5% CPI in 2025. A network engineer raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers.
