Career Opportunities

The Commonwealth Office of Technology (COT) offers challenging and exciting career opportunities for our workforce. The broad range of technology in COT is found nowhere else in state government, and in few places in the private sector. The ability to grow and diversify in the IT profession is limited only by your imagination. Our opportunities include all aspects of network and systems administration, project management on all levels of projects and programs, telecommunications, application and web development on multiple platforms all the way up to our large and complex mainframe applications, and the opportunity to manage in a challenging and important environment.

We are committed to attracting and hiring the most qualified, talented and motivated people: people who are looking for the challenge of working in the leading technology center in state government. We are devoted to developing our employees through on-the-job enrichment and training experiences, and to creating a workplace environment that embraces diversity and drives business and personal success.

If you want to work with the best and most motivated workforce, in the most innovative and exciting environment, and with the latest in technology, then COT is the place for you.
