ABOUT THE COMPANY
Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) is a leader in the environmental services industry. We provide customers with the most complete set of products and services, including recycling, waste, special waste, hazardous waste and field services. Our industry-leading commitments to advance circularity and support decarbonization are helping deliver on our vision to partner with customers to create a more sustainable world.
In 2025, Republic’s total company revenue was $16.6 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 billion. We serve 13 million customers and operate more than 1,000 locations, including collection and transfer stations, recycling and polymer centers, treatment facilities, and landfills.
Although we operate across North America, the collection, recycling, treatment, or disposal of materials is a local business, and the dynamics and opportunities differ in each market we serve. By combining local operational management with standardized business practices, we drive greater operating efficiencies across the company while maintaining day-to-day operational decisions at the local level, closest to the customer.
Our customers, including small businesses, major corporations and municipalities, want a partner with the expertise and capabilities to effectively manage their multiple recycling and waste streams. They choose Republic Services because we are committed to exceeding their expectations and helping them achieve their sustainability goals. Our 42,000 team members understand that it's not just what we do that matters, but how we do it.
Our company values guide our daily actions:
- Safe: We protect the livelihoods of our colleagues and communities.
- Committed to Serve: We go above and beyond to exceed our customers’ expectations.
- Environmentally Responsible: We take action to improve our environment.
- Driven: We deliver results in the right way.
- Human-Centered: We respect the dignity and unique potential of every person.
We are proud of our high employee engagement score of 86. We have an inclusive and diverse culture where every voice counts. In addition, our team positively impacted 5.1 million people in 2024 through the Republic Services Charitable Foundation and local community grants. These projects are designed to meet the specific needs of the communities we serve, with a focus on building sustainable neighborhoods.
STRATEGY
Republic Services’ strategy is designed to generate profitable growth. Through acquisitions and industry advancements, we safely and sustainably manage our customers’ multiple waste streams through a North American footprint of vertically integrated assets.
We focus on three areas of growth to meet the increasing needs of our customers: recycling and waste, environmental solutions and sustainability innovation.
With our integrated approach, strengthening our position in one area advances other areas of our business. For example, as we grow volume in recycling and waste, we collect additional material to bolster our circularity capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing recycling and waste customers.
Recycling and Waste
We continue to expand our recycling and waste business footprint throughout North America through organic growth and targeted acquisitions. The 13 million customers we serve and our more than 5 million pick-ups per day provide us with a distinct advantage. We aggregate materials at scale, unlocking new opportunities for advanced recycling. In addition, we are cross-selling new products and services to better meet our customers’ specific needs.
Environmental Solutions
Our comprehensive environmental solutions capabilities help customers safely manage their most technical waste streams. We are expanding both our capabilities and our geographic footprint. We see strong growth opportunities for our offerings, including PFAS remediation, an increasing customer need.
Sustainability Innovation
Republic’s recent innovations to advance circularity and decarbonization demonstrate our unique ability to leverage sustainability as a platform for growth.
The Republic Services Polymer Center is the nation’s first integrated plastics recycling facility. These innovative sites process rigid plastics from our recycling centers, producing recycled materials that promote true bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint venture with Ravago, to develop facilities that will further process plastic material from our Polymer Centers to help meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North America.
Our customers are increasingly looking for decarbonization solutions, and we are leveraging our network of landfills to meet that need. Republic is committed to harnessing landfill gas, a natural byproduct of decomposing waste, and converting it to energy. Republic has partnered with renewable gas developers to construct Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) plants at our landfills, expanding beyond the 77 projects we currently have to make progress towards our goal to beneficially reuse 50% more biogas by 2030 (2017 baseline year).

Software Development Manager Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a software development manager in Arizona?
Software development management in Arizona requires no state-issued license or exam, so the path runs through technical experience and demonstrated leadership. Most Arizona employers expect a bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering combined with several years working as a software engineer before moving into a team lead or technical lead role. From there, taking ownership of delivery, mentoring junior engineers, and building relationships with product and business stakeholders at Arizona technology companies creates the track that most hiring managers recognize.
Which companies hire software development managers in Arizona?
Employers hiring software development managers in Arizona right now include CVS Health, Amazon, and Jobot, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's mix of semiconductor firms, defense contractors, financial services companies, and enterprise software operations means openings appear across a wide range of industries rather than clustering in a single vertical.
Which Arizona cities have the most software development manager jobs?
Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe have the most software development manager openings in Arizona. Phoenix drives the largest share through its concentration of financial technology firms, healthcare technology companies, and enterprise software operations, while Scottsdale and Tempe benefit from the presence of major corporate campuses and a dense startup ecosystem anchored by Arizona State University's research partnerships.
Are there remote software development manager jobs in Arizona?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 63% of software development manager openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how naturally this role adapts to distributed work. The strategic and communication-heavy portions of the role, such as sprint planning, one-on-ones, and cross-functional alignment, translate well to remote formats, making Arizona-based managers competitive for fully distributed teams nationwide.
How can I get hired as a software development manager in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving from a senior individual contributor role into a team lead position at an Arizona employer that promotes from within, such as the technology divisions of large Phoenix-area financial institutions or established Tempe-based software companies. Building a portfolio of technical mentorship, on-call ownership, and cross-team coordination demonstrates readiness before the title changes. Earning a recognized project or product management certification alongside engineering credentials strengthens a candidacy when formal management experience is thin.
Where can I find and apply to software development manager jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to software development manager jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your background and preferred location within Arizona, and apply directly to the employers that interest you.
