Electronic commerce company Groupon is to create 100 jobs with the opening of a new research and development centre in Dublin.
Groupon currently employs 100 staff at its offices in Dublin.
The e-commerce giant today announced that it is expanding its Irish base, with the establishment of an international engineering and marketing centre.
The US multinational, which was established in 2009, serves 500 markets in 48 countries.
Its website offers discounted vouchers that can be used at local or national retailers.
Groupon said today it was seeking highly-skilled staff for its new research and development hub, bringing its total Irish workforce to 200 within the next two years.
It is hiring experienced professionals for roles in software engineering, data analysis and digital marketing.
The expansion is supported by IDA Ireland.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton met the company to discuss potential expansion opportunities on two recent IDA investment missions to the US.
