MongoDB, a United States database platform company, is expanding its Irish operations through a €74 million (£62.8 million) investment in engineering, AI development and operational growth, according to PR Newswire.

The company plans to grow its Irish hybrid workforce by more than 50 per cent by 2027, creating approximately 200 new roles across engineering, product development and customer-facing teams. Ireland's focus on applied AI aligns closely with MongoDB's role in helping 65,200+ global customers move from AI experimentation into real-world production.

Anchored by its international headquarters in Dublin and a new office in Cork, the company is deepening its investment in local talent and ongoing university partnerships under the leadership of newly appointed Vice President of Product and Technology, Donal Walsh.

CJ Desai, president and chief executive officer of MongoDB, said: "Ireland is an important market for MongoDB, home to exceptional talent, great customers, and the right environment to scale our global business. Our teams here are central to how we innovate for and serve our world-class customer base."

The investment expands engineering and customer teams in Ireland that build and support MongoDB's modern data platform, used by organisations worldwide. These teams help customers develop secure AI-powered applications on a flexible data foundation that runs across cloud, hybrid or on-premises environments, whilst supporting their efforts to meet Europe's evolving regulatory requirements around data protection, security and the EU AI Act.

Paul Sweetman, chief executive of American Chamber of Commerce Ireland, said the significant investment underscores Ireland's position as a hub for advanced engineering, innovation and next-generation technologies, highlighting the strength of the country's deep and collaborative talent ecosystem.
