About Us
Since 1945, U-Haul has been serving do-it-yourself movers and their households. Like many other successful ventures, the concept for U-Haul was generated out of need. After World War II, there existed the widespread need for do-it-yourself moving equipment that would be available on a one-way, nationwide basis.
U-Haul co-founders L.S. "Sam" Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen, recognized that need and acted upon it. Their visionary approach spread the cost of ownership among many users, facilitating the mobility of the populations of the U.S. and Canada. The covered wagon of the pioneers morphed into orange U-Haul trailers. In the process, an industry was born.
U-Haul Holding Company and its family of companies, including U-Haul, have strived to create a culture of health and wellness. As of February 1, 2020, and consistent with applicable law, no U-Haul Holding Company or its family of companies will hire individuals in states where it may lawfully decline to hire individuals who use nicotine products (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Washington). This policy will not apply to team members hired before February 1, 2020.

Lead Software Engineer Jobs in Phoenix: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a lead software engineer job in Phoenix?
Focus your search on Phoenix's fintech corridor in Scottsdale, the healthcare technology cluster near the medical district, and the enterprise software companies concentrated in Tempe. Candidates with backend or cloud architecture experience tend to stand out. Networking through local tech meetups and engaging with the startup community around downtown Phoenix can open doors that job listings alone won't.
Which companies hire lead software engineers in Phoenix?
Companies currently hiring lead software engineers in Phoenix include U-Haul, Ephibian, and Honeywell, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026.
