MongoDB announces 200 new Irish jobs and €74m investment as hybrid workforce expands by 2027

US database software company MongoDB has announced the creation of 200 new jobs at its Irish operation as part of a €74 million investment, with plans to increase its hybrid Irish workforce by more than 50% by 2027. The announcement is relevant to HR and talent professionals tracking high-volume technology hiring and hybrid workforce expansion strategies in Ireland.

RTÉ reported that the roles will span engineering, product development, and customer-facing teams across MongoDB's Dublin international headquarters and its newly opened Cork office.

CJ Desai, president and chief executive of MongoDB, said Ireland is an important market for the company, noting that organisations are moving from experimentation to building agentic AI applications in production and require a data platform capable of handling real-world complexity. Desai added that the Irish investment advances the company's mission to build a unified data platform for modern, multi-cloud, and AI applications.

The announcement was welcomed by Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke, who said it represents a strong endorsement of Ireland's ability to attract and grow global technology companies in engineering and applied AI.

Dónal Travers, executive director at IDA Ireland, said Ireland is now a recognised European location for companies seeking to build applied AI capabilities, describing this as a key growth driver in IDA's strategy.

The investment reinforces Ireland's position as a preferred European base for US technology companies scaling hybrid workforces, with MongoDB joining a growing cohort of firms committing to significant headcount growth and physical expansion outside Dublin into regional centres such as Cork.
