Kainos is a FTSE 250 digital technology company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, operating across 18 countries with over 3,000 employees. The company delivers digital transformation solutions spanning cloud engineering, AI and data solutions, user-centred design, and managed services. As a leading Workday partner, Kainos specializes in Workday deployments alongside its broader digital services portfolio, serving clients in financial services, healthcare, government, and other sectors.
The company's technical domains center on end-to-end digital transformation infrastructure: cloud engineering, AI solutions, data platforms, and managed services that handle ongoing operations post-deployment. Kainos combines this technical stack with user-centred design methodologies, positioning itself at the intersection of enterprise software implementation and custom digital service delivery. The scale is substantial - the company reports positively impacting over 60 million people through its client work, though the mechanisms of that impact measurement aren't detailed.
Under CEO Brendan Mooney, Kainos operates as a publicly traded entity with a stated focus on combining technical expertise with what it describes as a people-first culture emphasizing diversity, sustainability, and continuous innovation. The company's positioning targets organizations looking to modernize operations through cloud-native architectures and enterprise platforms like Workday, with particular traction in regulated industries where digital transformation carries compliance and security weight.
