80 Dublin Jobs In Software Firm Expansion

As many as 80 new staff are expected to be hired as part of software provider Guideware Software's expansion of its Dublin centre.

The company is expanding its operations in Ireland with the leasing of additional office space. Guidewire anticipates hiring 60-80 new staff in 2015/2016.

The firm already employs over 150 people at its Global Services and Development Centre in Dublin. The additional staff will provide consultancy support and product development resources.

The positions are supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland, the Government agency responsible for the attraction and development of foreign investment in Ireland.

"We have been very pleased with the quality of talent and output from our Dublin office, and I regard our decision to start operations in Ireland as one of the best we have made in the last several years," said Marcus Ryu, chief executive officer, Guidewire Software. "We intend to build on that success with a significant increase in our hiring plans and a deeper integration of our Dublin-based personnel into the career progression opportunities of the company, especially in Europe."

Dan Lonborg, engineering director and head of the European Development Centre, added: "It's a great vote of confidence in the team and the outstanding work they have done that we've decided to increase our investment in the European Development Centre. This expansion will allow us to take on bigger, more complex and new types of projects in Dublin."
