The company has stated it will also be deepening its investment in local talent and ongoing university partnerships.
US software development company MongoDB has today (23 April) announced plans to significantly invest in its Ireland-based operations. The organisation plans to invest €74m into its engineering, AI development and operational growth activities, a move that will generate 200 new jobs.
Established in 2007 MongoDB is headquartered in New York and has a presence in more than 100 countries and teams in 31 global locations. It has been in operation in Dublin since 2013.
The expansion will enable the company to grow its Irish hybrid workforce by more than 50pc by 2027, creating new roles in engineering, product development and customer-facing teams.
MongoDB said because the company is “anchored by its international headquarters in Dublin and a new office in Cork, the company is deepening its investment in local talent and ongoing university partnerships under the leadership of newly appointed vice-president of product and technology, Donal Walsh.”
Commenting on the announcement, CJ Desai, the president and CEO of MongoDB, said: “As organisations move from experimentation to building agentic AI applications in production, they need a data platform that can handle the complexity of real-world data and deliver highly accurate retrieval when the stakes are high. This investment in Ireland advances our mission to do exactly that, building the unified data platform our customers need for modern, multi-cloud and AI applications.”
“The investment expands engineering and customer teams in Ireland that build and support MongoDB’s modern data platform, used by organisations worldwide. These teams help customers develop secure AI-powered applications on a flexible data foundation that runs across cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments, while supporting their efforts to meet Europe’s evolving regulatory requirements around data protection, security and the EU AI Act.”
The Minister for the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke TD, added, “Ireland’s focus on innovation, skills development and regional growth continues to resonate with companies operating at the forefront of digital transformation. MongoDB’s ongoing commitment to Ireland, supported by IDA Ireland, highlights the depth of our talent pool and the strength of our collaboration between industry, government and higher education.”
