Our take
The Adaptavist Group is a leading player in the Atlassian ecosystem, which provides software for software developers. The Adaptavist Group helps companies develop modern, adaptive approaches to development, deployment, and application lifecycle management to augment the Atlassian experience.
With Atlassian itself being founded in 2002, and The Adaptavist Group following soon after in 2005, the company firmly established itself as a key player as Atlassian went on to become a titan in the software development industry. Adaptavist’s reach is correspondingly global, and it services over 75% of the Fortune 500.
The Adaptavist Group is leveraging the global boom in software development. Its strategic expansion into the growing DevSecOps market, for example, through partnering with Sonatype, sees it unlock involvement in an industry expected to reach a $6.5 billion valuation by 2025. With this expansionist approach, The Adaptavist Group has aligned brands including Agility, Gravity Works and Veniture under its umbrella and has been consistent in its launching of tools. Its reputation as a leading industry player propels a dynamic and hugely lucrative upwards trajectory.

It's our people who make our success, and we believe that a diverse community—one where everyone feels respected, included, and valued—makes us stronger, more innovative, and more creative as a whole.
- We have created an environment that accommodates and supports people from all backgrounds, offering flexible ways of working and workplace benefits that are genuinely helpful, as well as keeping an open dialogue and welcoming feedback on these topics.
- Whether you've worked in tech for your whole career or this is a brand new direction for you, your experience and skills are valuable to us. We need fresh perspectives, forward thinkers, and problem solvers. We see the whole person, and we hire people who we believe will make a positive contribution to our community.
- We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, and particularly those who are often underrepresented in our industry, such as women and people of colour.
