Company expanding its DevOps and Cloud Centre of Excellence
Ammeon, a leading Irish IT professional services company, is to create 100 new high-skilled jobs over the next twelve months.
The company which specialises in IT-based transformation projects is expanding its DevOps and Cloud Centre of Excellence in Ireland.
Richard Bruton T.D., Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation commented: “I am delighted to be returning to Ammeon less than a year after I was here to announce the creation of 30 high-skilled jobs. After creating those additional jobs so far this year, I warmly welcome their plans to now grow their workforce by another 100. These hires will help drive the company’s ambitious plans for further international growth and I wish Fred and his colleagues the best of luck in their efforts.”
“Technology is a key sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and over the past four years we have seen an impressive jobs performance in this area. We need more ambitious Irish companies growing like Ammeon growing in this area, and that is why we have put in place a range of measures to support companies like this. Ammeon’s example today provides a clear example of what is possible for Irish companies in this area.”
Fred Jones, CEO, Ammeon, commented, “This is another very significant expansion of Ammeon’s workforce and capabilities and follows the creation of 30 new jobs last November. On the back of continued strong growth in demand for our cutting edge services, we are growing this DevOps and Cloud Centre of Excellence in Ireland. We are looking to add 100 talented engineers and IT professionals to help us make this happen.”
“We have built the largest indigenous team of professional service consultants focused on IT-based transformation projects and we are at the beginning of a significant international expansion. We enable our customers deliver their software and services in a faster, more cost effective way to their customers. We have a strong DevOps and open source culture, we use Agile methodologies and open source cloud technologies like OpenStack to help accelerate service development and delivery.”
Ammeon is looking for both experienced engineers and graduates for a wide variety of high-value IT roles, with a focus on the latest cloud and DevOps skills. Of particular interest are candidates with experience in service delivery management, project management, cloud architectures and deployment. Hiring will start immediately and full details are available on www.ammeon.com.
Ammeon employs over 200 people, with the majority based in the company’s Dublin headquarters and a smaller number in its UK offices. Last November the company hired an additional 30 IT professionals in the areas of software development, test automation and DevOps.
Founded in 2003, the company has been growing rapidly in recent years, with turnover increasing by 25% year-on-year since 2009. Clients include global network equipment providers, communication service providers across EMEA, media, transportation and government organisations.
Ammeon has been supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through Enterprise Ireland.
