Ireland’s financial sector is facing a shortage of technologists
In contrast with most other sectors in Ireland, if you work in technology you’re likely to have no shortage of new job options available to you. Ireland’s growing reputation as a centre for research and development means that announcements from IT companies expanding are appearing on a near weekly basis. In the last couple of [...]
The growing demand for hedge fund administrators in Dublin
Most people working in Irish hedge fund administration have been sitting tight this year, but with new players coming to Dublin, firms will have to work harder to keep hold of their experienced talent. Deutsche Bank has just announced its intention to move its European hedge fund administration business to Dublin, which will create up [...]
Why Scotland, Ireland…and Bournemouth are increasingly desirable locations for financial technologists
With more financial services firms ‘nearshoring’ IT functions, the prospect of a move to Ireland, Scotland or even Bournemouth for technologists seems like an increasingly attractive option. Fidelity Investments has just unveiled plans to create 100 tech jobs in its Dublin and Galway offices – entry to management level positions for Java, .Net and database [...]
Bye-bye London, hello Belfast, Dublin and Glasgow
Because it’s traditionally been where the jobs (and the money) are, technologists working within investment banks have obviously gravitated towards the City. But, with more development work being ‘nearshored’, is there an argument for moving to a more provincial location? Examples of relatively highly-skilled development work being carried out beyond the confines of the square [...]
Fund accounting – one reason to stay in Ireland
If rumours are to be believed, Irish financial services professionals are leaving the country in their droves to pursue opportunities in more buoyant markets. But is this really the case, and is their an argument (from a career perspective) for staying put?

Irish tech firm plans up to 50 development hires
Capital markets technology firm First Derivatives is set to add another 40-50 development staff in Dublin, Belfast and Newry after kick-starting a new R&D project. The Newry-based company has been on an aggressive recruitment spree for some time now, having added 142 new jobs over the last year. A fresh injection of cash from Invest [...]
The quietly booming financial IT sector in Ireland
Global technology budgets within financial services have shrunk this year, which ironically has worked to Ireland’s advantage. A focus on buying in cheaper third-party systems (rather than building in-house) has provided a boon to the country’s financial software vendors, while banks have also begun to view Ireland as a development hub. Part of the reason [...]
Still jobs to be had at Irish financial tech vendors
With all the gloom surrounding the Irish economy at the moment, it’s surprising to see an industry that seems to be doing comparatively well and still has an appetite to hire – financial technology providers. Shrinking IT budgets in the banking sector would suggest software vendors in this space shouldn’t exactly be thriving, and when [...]
Frozen pay and smaller bonuses for Irish financial sector
Irish financial sector workers will face a year of static salaries and shrinking bonuses in 2009, according a new salary survey. The survey, the latest from recruiters Brightwater, understandably paints a quite different picture to this time last year, when those in financial services were experiencing rapid pay hikes as firms tussled over a limited [...]
