IBM's €25m software lab expansion to create 100 new jobs

IBM IS to create 100 new jobs in an expansion of its Irish software labs in Dublin, Cork and Galway.

The company has already begun recruiting for the positions and expects to have as many as 50 per cent of the vacancies filled before the end of the year.

The jobs require skilled software developers and the roles will involve working on projects such as cloud computing collaboration software for business customers, as well as IT systems management tools and data warehouse software with analysis features.

IBM is investing €25 million over three years in the latest expansion with the support of IDA Ireland.

It currently has about 500 staff in its software labs between the three sites and this will expand to 600. In all, IBM employs close to 4,000 staff in the Republic, making it one of the largest multinational technology companies here.

The move comes just months after IBM moved its high-end server manufacturing from its Dublin operation to Singapore with the loss of 120 jobs.
