While Ovate isn't an Amiga-related company as such, it was founded by Amiga people and does still employ Amiga people. We like to think that we develop with an Amiga-inspired approach to efficiency, extensibility and quality, and we want more people who think the same way we do!

While Ovate isn't an Amiga-related company as such, it was founded by Amiga people and does still employ Amiga people. We like to think that we develop with an Amiga-inspired approach to efficiency, extensibility and quality. It will come as no surprise that all the leading-edge technologies from AmigaSoc such as the postcode-based user group locator and Aminet Hunter are all derived from Ovate technology. We see our future goals being very compatible with those proposed by Amiga (in fact we already have our SDK!). All our deployment goes on UNIX machines (specifically, Solaris).

Ovate is a commercial research and development centre, focussing on the Internet and emerging technologies.

We formulate technical strategies targeting gaps in the market and provide end-to-end implementation of the chosen solutions.

Ovate delivers innovative concepts and scalable back-end solutions across a diverse range of industries. Our clients recognise the value of cutting-edge technology and the competitive advantage it can bring to their business.

We believe that we are offering a competitive and attractive package including a salary, substantial share options, and health insurance. We are a small company that provides a pleasant and flexible working environment and great opportunities for career and personal development.
