Kainos

About Us

Since 1986, we've been embracing the digital transformation challenges that others shy away from and our shared vision is simple; using technology to make people's lives easier and make the world a little better day by day. 

Our success has been driven by demand. We’re ambitious and hungry for more because there’s a real appetite for our work, an appetite generated by our people’s talents. We mastered our craft as software engineers on ground-breaking technology projects and quickly began developing our own ideas. Through the years we have innovated and broadened our capabilities. Today you'll find us transforming how genomics will inform the future of healthcare, streamlining back office functions for big names all over the world, and transforming how entire countries administer everyday tasks to millions of citizens. 

With over 37 years of innovation behind us, we’re now 2,900+ strong, operating in over 22 countries. We look for talented people who are good at solving problems and want to change the world through technology.  

These are exciting times for us. As we expand globally, we face a multitude of new opportunities. When you join us, you'll harness the disruptive power of emerging technology along with your own proven talent. And we’ll give you all the support and development you need to make that happen. 

Our People 

At Kainos, our people write our story - they are at the heart of everything we do. They drive our ambition, create our unique culture, and constantly excite us with their ingenuity, vision, and creativity, allowing us to do outstanding work that has a positive impact on the world around us. 

Throughout our journey of growth and change, our commitment to our people remains the constant. We give them all they need to unleash their creativity, reach their full potential and be part of a nurturing environment where they can be themselves and be their best. Here, your ideas aren't optional. They're expected. Your voice isn't just heard. It's amplified. And your potential isn't just pie in the sky. It's just waiting to be written, read and realised. Each of us has a role in shaping the next extraordinary chapter of the Kainos story. 

In short, this is where you just don't go to work. This is where you come to life. 

 Our Culture & Values 

Our people tell us that they have never worked anywhere like this. Because we put people first, we look after our customers by championing and caring for each other. Here there is an open inclusive culture where people are empowered, connected and supported to succeed. And they're backed up by our active approach to embracing diversity, promoting personal fulfilment and driving development.

We're a global workforce. So, we insist our team proudly represent the diversity that comes with being the best place for talented people to make an impact. Being people-first gives us all the power to encourage self-determination in every way, whether supporting colleagues experiencing menopause, championing Pride or ensuring people can confidently declare their pronouns. 

We don't just talk the talk when it comes to engaging with our people, we walk the walk. Using Workday's Peakon Employee Voice we listen to our people, understand what matters most, and take action. Listening and understanding are key to helping our people thrive and excel. It allows us to continuously improve and tailor our initiatives, ensuring they have a meaningful impact on health and wellbeing, fostering diversity and inclusion and identifying future leaders.
