Born in Novi Sad,[2] Ilić passed Vojvodina youth school[3] and joined the first team during the 2015–16 Serbian SuperLiga season at the age of 17.[4] He was used as a reserve option sitting on the bench a couple of times until the end of a season, without official appearances. He spent a short part of his career on loan at Serbian League Vojvodina side Cement Beočin.[5] [6] Having spent first half of the 2016–17 season serving as a youth team first choice keeper, and a senior team backup keeper, in the second half of the season Ilić was sent on loan to Proleter Novi Sad.[7] In summer 2017 he returned to the first team,[8] being licensed with Vojvodina for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League qualifications and the domestic competitions.[9] On 8 December 2017, Ilić signed his first professional contract with the club, penning a three-year deal.[10] Ilić made his debut for Vojvodina in a 6–1 away win over Čukarički on 17 May 2018.[11]

In September and October 2021, Ilić was named Player of the Month by the votes of the fans.[15] [16]
On 17 February 2023, Ilić was loaned to Major League Soccer club Colorado Rapids for their 2023 season.[17]
On 15 July 2023, Colorado Rapids made the transfer permanent and signed a two-and-a-half contract with Ilić.[18]
Early in his career, Ilić was a member of the Serbian under-16, under-17 and under-18 national team selections.[19] [20] In September 2016, he made his debut for the Serbian under-19 team, being elected for the best goalkeeper of the memorial tournament "Stevan Vilotić - Ćele".[21] Ilić was also invited in the squad for the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship under coach Milan Obradović, where he appeared as the first choice keeper.[22]
