Feeny is tracking about 713 open tech roles in Arizona, from roughly 164 companies hiring across the state. Every listing comes straight from a company's own careers page, so what you see is a role being actively worked, not a months-old repost. The Phoenix metro accounts for most of it, with Tucson adding a smaller share. Use the filters to narrow by city or discipline. ### Which Arizona cities have the most tech jobs? The Phoenix metro dominates, and it's really a cluster of adjacent cities rather than one. Phoenix and Scottsdale carry the enterprise tech and fintech weight, while Tempe, Chandler, and Mesa hold a mix of startups and the semiconductor build-out. Tucson trails as a secondary hub. Of the 5 Arizona cities we index, the Phoenix ring is where the openings concentrate. ### What companies are hiring for tech roles in Arizona? Arizona's biggest tech story right now is silicon: TSMC and Intel are both building large chip fabs in the Phoenix area, and that draws manufacturing, process, and equipment engineers by the thousands. Waymo runs its driverless cars in Phoenix, so autonomy work lives here too. Layered on top is a fintech and back-office base plus enterprise software around Scottsdale and Chandler. Feeny lists roles from about 164 companies statewide, worth browsing for the current mix. ### What kinds of tech roles are common in Arizona? Chip manufacturing is the standout. The TSMC and Intel fabs mean semiconductor and hardware roles show up far more here than in a typical software town, and they need people on the factory floor as much as at a desk. Autonomy testing adds a specialized slice thanks to Waymo. Beyond hardware, the base is fintech and enterprise software, so there's plenty of conventional engineering and data work too. ### What is it like to work in tech in Arizona? Arizona has quietly become the landing spot for Californians priced out of the coast. Cost of living runs about 8 percent above the national average, which sounds high until you compare a Phoenix mortgage to a Bay Area one, and the gap is enormous. The scene is younger and more industrial than a pure software city, shaped by the fabs and the autonomy work rather than a VC monoculture. The honest catch is the summer heat, which is not a small thing when you live through it. --- _Source: https://feeny.ai/location/arizona_
