No one really needs to be told, at this stage, that software engineering is a hot career area right now. If you’re a software engineer, all these companies are currently hiring in Ireland.
Engineering as a larger umbrella area has always been one that promises good career options, because related roles are always in demand. That is especially true these days of software engineering.
Pretty much every facet of modern life is moving towards digital, or at least branching into digital aspects, be it shopping, medicine, communications or media. I’m sure there are many people who are cursing themselves for not getting into software engineering or, better yet, are eyeing up a career pivot.
If you are a software engineer, you may be interested to know that these 12 companies are all offering jobs in Ireland right now.
Liberty IT
Liberty IT develops specialist and enterprise-scale applications and websites to serve the business needs of its parent company, Liberty Mutual Insurance. It has a number of software engineering roles available right now.
BD
Medtech giant BD has a long history, both in general and in Ireland. The company was first founded in 1897 and has had a presence in Ireland since 1964 when it first set up a plant in Drogheda, Co Louth.
The company recently opened its new state-of-the-art facility in Limerick, where it just last week announced that it is taking on 85 employees, including software engineers.
Jaguar Land Rover
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is the marriage of two of Britain’s best-known luxury car brands. Recent announcements by the firm indicate that it is putting its foot on the gas and speeding towards new frontiers, and Ireland is to play a vital role.

To support its AV ambitions, the automobile giant is seeking candidates for a number of roles in Shannon, including software engineers.

Now having the capacity, Zendesk has expressed its intention to grow its headcount and will require innovative software engineers to join the team.
Crowley Carbon
Crowley Carbon deploys energy-efficiency solutions and renewable energy technologies such as solar panels and biomass with the aim of reducing consumption for its industrial and commercial clients (topical, given Ireland’s recent decision to divest from fossil fuels). It announced recently that it will take on 187 new hires in Wicklow and Kilkenny as part of an expansion of its services, and is currently seeking applicants for software engineers, among others.

eShopWorld
Consumers are increasingly reliant on online shopping for everything from groceries to last-minute weddings outfits. This has opened the door for businesses to scale quickly through reaching a global customer base.

This is where eShopWorld comes in, and it needs software engineers to make its vision possible.
