SITA, the leading IT provider to the air transport and communications industry, are significantly expanding their Agile DevOps teams in Letterkenny to develop the next generation of its highly successful SITA AT AIRPORTS portfolio.
Deputy Joe McHugh, said the planned expansion highlights the company’s continued commitment to Ireland and the North-West.
“I am really pleased with the news that SITA is expanding in Letterkenny, creating 55 new jobs over the next two years.”
The new roles to be created include software engineers, test engineers, UX designers, scrum masters and product owners.
“I wish to commend the leadership of Vincent Kennedy and his team in ensuring that the company continues to progress.
“I was glad to officiate at the formal opening of their new state of the art offices in 2015 and I saw first-hand the optimism and confidence within the team.
“Letterkenny has established itself as the FinTech capital outside of Dublin and continues to grow from strength to strength.
“Part of this growth will rely on continued infrastructural investment by the Government. Letterkenny’s official ‘City status’ designation in 2018 will ensure that this investment will continue on a sustainable basis.
“Last week’s urban fund investment of just over €18 million in Letterkenny is proof that the designation is showing dividend,” Deputy McHugh said.
David Lavorel, CEO SITA AIRPORTS & BORDERS, said that Ireland, and Letterkenny in particular, had in recent years established itself as an important hub for software development.
“Through the support of the Irish government, Letterkenny is recognised as a vital hub for software innovation, making it an obvious choice as a strategic location for the development of our SITA AT AIRPORTS portfolio.”
