--- title: 'Tech & AI jobs in Ireland' canonical: 'https://feeny.ai/location/ireland' type: 'location' --- # Tech & AI jobs in Ireland > Ireland became a European tech base largely because the multinationals came first: Google, Meta, Apple, and Stripe (founded by two Irish brothers) all run large Dublin operations. That drew a talent pool the local startups now tap, with BrowserStack, Wayflyer, and Intercom (Irish-founded) building here.

Feeny is tracking about 965 open tech roles in Ireland, from roughly 184 companies hiring. Each one comes from a company's own careers page, so a listing is a live role rather than a stale repost. Nearly all of it sits in Dublin, which is effectively the country's tech hub. Filter by discipline to narrow it down. ### Which cities in Ireland have the most tech jobs? In practice, Dublin is the tech scene in Ireland. It's where the big multinationals set up their European operations and where the local startups grew up around them, so the vast majority of listings land there. Other cities have some activity, but nothing that changes the picture. Across the 1 we index, Dublin is where the search begins and mostly ends. ### What companies are hiring for tech roles in Ireland? Ireland became a European base because Big Tech arrived first: Google, Meta, and Apple all run large Dublin operations, and Stripe was founded by two Irish brothers. That gravity seeded a local startup scene, with BrowserStack, Wayflyer, and the Irish-founded Intercom all building here. So you get both the multinationals and homegrown companies in one city. Feeny lists roles from about 184 companies, so the current set is worth a direct look. ### What kinds of tech roles are common in Ireland? The mix leans big-tech engineering, fintech, and enterprise SaaS. Because Google, Meta, and Apple run major operations here, there's steady demand for engineers who can work inside large, established organizations. Stripe and Wayflyer add fintech roles, and Intercom brings a SaaS product base. It's a market shaped by the multinationals that anchored it. ### What is it like to work in tech in Ireland? Dublin has one of the most foreign-heavy tech workforces in Europe, so as a newcomer you won't feel like the only outsider in the room. The pay is strong thanks to the multinationals, and everything runs in English. The catch is cost: Dublin housing is genuinely expensive and tight, and it's the thing most people complain about. The honest trade is a great job market squeezed by a hard rental market. ### Can international candidates get a work visa to work in tech in Ireland? The Critical Skills Employment Permit is the main fast route for in-demand tech roles, and it leads toward residency, which makes Ireland attractive for a longer move. EU citizens can work freely without a permit. For a qualified engineer with an offer at one of the many hiring multinationals, the path is well established. Dublin's heavily international workforce is proof the system works at scale. --- _Source: https://feeny.ai/location/ireland_
