Viatel is looking to fill 50 new job roles over the next 18 months following plans to expand its security portfolio.
The company, which has offices in Dublin, Limerick and Dundalk, has a workforce of 275 people who support over 5,000 enterprise customers.
The new roles will span software engineering, systems development, network engineering, technical support, and sales.
Leo Varadkar, the Taoiseach of Ireland, said: “It’s good to see that jobs are being created in the tech sector and that companies are still recruiting, notwithstanding the fact that so many companies are downsizing.
“Both Government and companies like Viatel have a crucial role to play in ensuring that Irish businesses and Irish citizens are not left behind in the digital transition.”
Group CEO, Paul Rellis, added: “we are preparing to launch our new security platform and the jobs are as a result of those plans.”
