Global leader in financial technology, Fidelity National Information Services Inc. (FIS®) has today announced plans to hire 100 technology professionals over the next two years in Dublin. This investment is supported by the Irish government through IDA Ireland.
A leader in providing solutions to financial institutions, businesses, and developers, FIS intends to build a team that will centrally align, develop and manage selected new products and platforms. Roles to be hired are expected to include data scientists, product analysts, portfolio managers and software engineers, in addition to a number of management support roles.
Bob Toohey, Chief People Officer, FIS said: "FIS is committed to investing in the future of fintech and believes Ireland is the ideal home for hiring quality technology talent. With the Irish government's partnership, we can build a world-class innovation engine that unlocks financial technology to the world across the money lifecycle - whether it's at rest, in motion, or at work.
Additionally, Ireland's position within the European Union presents a unique strategic advantage for FIS. By building a team in Dublin, FIS will benefit from direct exposure to EU regulations and data governance models, allowing us to design globally scalable technology solutions from the ground up, all this coupled with a highly skilled AI and data talent market.”
Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, Niamh Smyth said: “Today’s announcement by FIS is testament to our thriving financial services and fintech sector here. These plans speak to Ireland as a location of choice for investment in cutting-edge research and innovation as well as to the strength and expertise of the Irish financial services sector. I congratulate FIS on this announcement.”
Michael Lohan, CEO at IDA Ireland said: “AI and Digitalisation have been identified by IDA Ireland as strategic drivers of economic growth and today’s announcement reflects the real opportunity for companies in this area. We very much welcome the decision by FIS to choose Ireland for this investment and we look forward to partnering with them into the future.”
