NetApp to create 60 new jobs in Cork 

NetApp, the intelligent data infrastructure company, has announced that it will create more than 60 new jobs in Cork.

The roles, primarily in software engineering, will be located at NetApp’s international headquarters in Cork's Docklands, where the company currently employs more than 300 people.

It said investment in the new roles comes as growth in AI drives demand for data infrastructure and hybrid cloud services.

The new positions will support NetApp customers as they deploy AI to accelerate innovation and transform operations.

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.

NetApp is seeking candidates with skills in Applied AI (model development and fine-tuning), as well as proficiency in C and C++ programming language.

Senior Director at NetApp, James McGowan said: “The world is experiencing technological change at a scale never witnessed before.

“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.

“AI runs on data, and data runs on NetApp.

“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," he added.

“NetApp’s presence in Ireland has grown rapidly in two years and the entire company is excited for the next chapter in the story.

“Cork and the wider Munster area is home to some incredible talent and has provided a warm welcome to team members that have relocated here.” 

NetApp opened its offices in Cork in 2022 on Navigation Square, where it now runs global commercial, support and technology operations.

The company is also actively recruiting in other diverse disciplines including cloud architecture, technical support, sales, business development, and accounting.
