PITTSBURGH, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Air, the leader in Enterprise Readiness, today opened its new 35,536-square-foot office facility in Pittsburgh's Strip District. This milestone marks the latest evolution of the company's longtime presence in Pennsylvania and is part of a previously announced 10-year, $450 million expansion that encompasses payroll, tax revenue, employee benefits, and capital investments in the region.

Backed by an initial $10 million capital build-out investment, the new Strip District office will accommodate Air's rapidly growing tech workforce. This Pittsburgh office expansion supports Air's ongoing investment in the area's technical and engineering workforce, creating more jobs in areas related to software engineering, computer architecture and infrastructure, product development, and artificial intelligence. The company has expanded its existing Pittsburgh workforce by nearly 67 percent over the past year, while maintaining an exceptional employee retention rate.

"Today marks an exciting new chapter for Air as we officially open the doors to our expanded tech hub in Pittsburgh," said Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Air. "The unique combination of a highly skilled workforce, world-class academic institutions, and a vibrant technology ecosystem makes Pittsburgh an ideal engine for our AI-native platform development. We are deeply committed to investing in this community as we work to close the Readiness Gap and strive to meet immense customer demand."

Air actively recruits top-tier AI engineers, data scientists, and software developers from regional academic powerhouses like Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, with local university graduates currently comprising approximately 30 percent of Air's Pittsburgh workforce.

"As a Pittsburgh native, I am incredibly proud to see our company grow in my hometown," said Marco Corona, Chief Technology Officer and Head of the Pittsburgh Office at Air. "This new facility establishes a direct pipeline between our region's unmatched technical talent and critical national security work. We are building the future of defense technology right here in the Strip District, and we're just getting started."
