The Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) is the state of Arizona's primary human services agency, delivering support to individuals and families across its programs. The department's work spans temporary assistance, care for vulnerable populations, workforce development, and poverty reduction. It serves nearly 3 million Arizonans, supported by a staff of over 5,000 employees.
As a government agency operating within the human services and social welfare sectors, DES manages large-scale public programs that depend on technology infrastructure for benefits administration, case management, data analytics, and service delivery. The agency's broad mandate creates opportunities across a range of technical disciplines relevant to public-sector digital systems.
