Data management company NetApp has announced that it will create more than 60 new software development jobs at its international headquarters in Cork.
The investment comes as growth in artificial intelligence (AI) drives demand for data infrastructure and hybrid cloud services.
The new software engineering roles will be split across NetApp's data services, enterprise storage, cloud, and shared platform teams, serving customers in industries such as finance, pharmaceuticals and the public sector.
"The world is experiencing technological change at a scale never witnessed before," said James McGowan, Senior Director, NetApp.
"NetApp is creating these roles in Cork to help our customers adapt to this change and solve the challenges posed by increased AI adoption and rapid data growth," he said.
"We want the best software developers and technologists to join us and lay the foundations for the AI systems that will transform business and society the world over," Mr McGowan said.
NetApp opened its international headquarters in 2022 on Navigation Square within Cork's Docklands where it runs global commercial, support and technology operations.
It currently employs around 300 people in the city and is actively recruiting for roles in areas such as cloud architecture, technical support, sales, business development and accounting.
