File data services specialist Nasuni has announced it is planning to open a newly established Innovation Centre in Cork, Ireland, with as many as 55 senior engineering jobs on offer over the next three years.
The innovation facility adds to Nasuni’s headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, and additional offices in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and Cary, North Carolina.
The company said it’s also expanding its presence in Germany, Benelux and London amid its global expansion.
“This announcement is great news for Cork and indeed Ireland,” said Taoiseach Michéal Martin TD. “With up to 55 jobs planned, Nasuni is placing a significant vote of confidence in Cork and further demonstrates our competitive position in attracting Foreign Direct Investment. I am delighted that Nasuni chose to locate its Innovation Centre in Cork as part of its global expansion.”
Alongside the announcement, the firm also hired Derek Murphy as VP of engineering, EMEA at the Cork centre. Murphy has 15 years of experience in engineering, having served at multinational enterprise companies including Forcepoint, McAfee, Intel and Apple.
“We’re looking for the right talent to fill senior, ‘greenfield development’ positions, cloud and analytics-focused,” said Murphy. “This is high-value work, crucial to our business, and we are convinced we will find the right candidates in Ireland.”
Nasuni, supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland, said it aims to offer the highest standards of file services with security and risk management at heart to the region.
‘‘Nasuni is committed to Ireland, and we have already incorporated Nasuni Ireland Ltd,” added Paul Flanagan, CEO of Nasuni. The country is known for its well-educated software talent pool, as well as the number and variety of its technology hubs. Together with the strong support and relationship with the IDA and the diversity of the region, Ireland has a track record as a place to invest, and one that yields results.”
