Commenting on the company’s growth in Northern Ireland, Richard McLaughlin, Senior Director Software Engineering and Site Lead at Optiva said: “We are not waiting for the future of telecoms; We are helping to make it happen and our presence in Belfast is paramount in helping us make it happen.
“Since we settled here 18 months ago, we have been delighted with the progress our team has made in Belfast. While we looked at other locations across Europe, Northern Ireland was a logical choice for our first center of excellence given its reputation as a thriving technology hub and concentration of global software companies, universities and talent.”
Invest Northern Ireland have worked with Optiva since 2020 and have provided on-site advice, assisted in locating suitable office space and offered support in creating the new positions, 21 of which already exist and recruitment for all positions is continuing.
Richard continued, “We are now growing rapidly and are actively recruiting across a range of software development roles to achieve our goal of becoming a global leader in providing mission-critical, cloud-native monetization solutions to CSPs worldwide. We are grateful to Invest NI for their continued support and advice and look forward to expanding our team here.”
