Hi! You’re reading the Pittsburgh edition of This Week in Jobs (TWIJ), a weekly newsletter written by our team at Technical.ly in partnership with InnovatePGH and the Pittsburgh Innovation District. Each week we put together for you a slate of news and fresh job opportunities in the ‘burgh. If you’re not already subscribed, you can do so here.


Love them or loathe them; the announcement of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian filing for divorce is news. A day rarely goes by where one member of the duo isn’t featured on the cover of a tabloid or a trending Twitter topic.

So, as the news cycle revolves around the end of Kimye, it might be a good time for self-reflection. Is there something in your life (personal or professional) that hasn’t been serving you lately? Could it be time to move on?

Ready to search for a new opportunity? Or just want to escape the tabloid news? Keep on reading.

The News

Saying the workplace has changed in the last year is almost an understatement. In Technical.ly’s first Hiring and Workplace Culture Trends Report, we dive deep into the trends around office culture, hiring, and HR practices that have transformed in the past year.

Speaking of workplaces, here’s a look at how some technologists in Pittsburgh are starting to rethink their workplaces, post-COVID.

SUN (Solar United Neighbors) is heating up the local energy market, offering homeowners easier access to affordable residential solar panels through the use of a co-op. If you’d like to join that bright future, the company is looking for a Manager of IT and Information Systems.

Marinus Analytics is in the final round of the $5 million IBM Watson AI XPrize for its artificial intelligence and machine learning tool that helps law enforcement bring an end to human trafficking. (Hey, it also has a handful of tech job openings.)
