Tech firm LogMeIn to triple its workforce in Dublin

LogMeIn, a company that gives users access to their home and work computers from anywhere, is to triple its workforce in Ireland with the creation of 90 jobs over the next three years.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny announced the new jobs at the opening of the company’s newly-extended headquarters in the Bloodstone Building at Sir John Rogerson’s Quay. TripAdvisor is also a tenant in the distinctive looking building.

The investment is supported by the Government through IDA Ireland.

The new roles will span technical roles, sales, marketing, finance, HR and IT.

LogMeIn established its Dublin office in 2012 and at the end of last year had 45 full-time staff. It provides remote log-in services, data back-up and file sharing to clients.

“Dublin provides an excellent base for LogMeIn’s presence in this thriving market and has quickly become our international hub for attracting and supporting our rapidly expanding user and customer base,” said Michael Simon, the company’s co-founder & chief executive.

“The location is also a key advantage to attracting innovative thinkers and new talent to help us capitalise on some of today’s most transformative market opportunities. The ongoing investment and office expansion in Ireland is a testament to our recognition of Dublin as one of the best markets in the world for attracting top high-tech talent,” he added.
