Cerner, which supplies health and care technology and services, has said it will create 50 jobs at its Dublin hub for research and development.
With the support of IDA Ireland, Cerner said the new roles will focus on research and development and the improvement of data intelligence and population health management for its European clients.
The company are looking for software engineers, software architects, designers and data visualisation developers, with different levels of knowledge and experience, for the new Dublin jobs.
Minister for Business, Enterprise & Innovation Heather Humphreys said the company's expansion will enhance the country's capability in the healthcare IT sector.
She also said it reaffirms the company's commitment to invest and contribute to the country's growth by developing local expertise and creating a research infrastructure that can then be leveraged for future projects.
Matthew Pickett, General Manager for Cerner Ireland, said the company has had a permanent presence in Ireland since 2007.
"When seeking a European location in which to further build upon Cerner's rapidly growing capabilities in Population Health Management, the expansion of our existing Dublin team was a natural step," he added.
Mary Buckley, IDA Ireland's executive director, said the investment by Cerner is ambitious in scope and addresses pressing future challenges in healthcare.
"It will enrich Ireland's capability in the key technology areas of big data management and processing. This investment also provides an excellent reference point for IDA Ireland in convergence technologies," she added.
