MongoDB, Inc. is expanding its Irish operations through a €74 million investment in engineering, AI development, and operational growth.As part of this expansion, the company plans to grow its Irish hybrid workforce by more than 50% by 2027, creating approximately 200 new roles across engineering, product development, and customer-facing teams. Ireland’s focus on “Applied AI” aligns closely with MongoDB’s role in helping 65,200+ global customers move from AI experimentation into real-world production. Anchored by its international HQs 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.

“Ireland is an important market for MongoDB, home to exceptional talent, great customers, and the right environment to scale our global business. Our teams here are central to how we innovate for and serve our world-class customer base,” said CJ Desai, president and CEO, MongoDB.

As organizations 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 organizations 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.

”I warmly welcome MongoDB’s decision to expand its Irish operations through a €74 million investment, creating 200 high-quality jobs and establishing a new office presence in Cork. This announcement is a strong endorsement of Ireland’s ability to attract and grow global technology leaders in areas such as engineering and applied AI,” said Minister Peter Burke, department of enterprise, tourism and employment, Government of Ireland. “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. I wish MongoDB every success as it continues to expand its footprint here.”

“I would like to congratulate MongoDB on this significant investment of €74 million in Ireland, which will result in 200 new jobs, and the opening of a new office in Cork. Ireland is now a recognized European location for companies seeking to build their applied capabilities in AI, a key growth driver in IDA’s strategy. We are delighted to support MongoDB’s innovation goals and look forward to a continued partnership in the years ahead,” said Dónal Travers, Executive Director, IDA Ireland.

“I want to congratulate MongoDB on the announcement of its €74 million expansion in Ireland. This significant investment, with its strong focus on AI, underscores Ireland’s position as a hub for advanced engineering, innovation, and next-gen technologies, and highlights the strength of the country’s deep and collaborative talent ecosystem. It also reflects the continued confidence of US companies in Ireland as a location for high-value investment and growth. US companies already employ hundreds of thousands of people across Ireland, and recent AmCham surveys point to sustained confidence among members, with many planning further investment in areas such as AI, R&D, and digital transformation. This announcement is a clear example of how that confidence is translating into real investment and job creation,” said Paul Sweetman, Chief Executive, American Chamber of Commerce Ireland (AmCham).
