File data services leader Nasuni Corporation will fill up to 55 new senior engineering roles at its new innovation centre in Cork over the next three years.
The IT security and risk management company, which has its headquarters in Boston and two more offices in Marlborough, Massachusetts and Cary, North Carolina, will also establish operations in London, Germany and the Benelux region as part of its global expansion efforts.
Nasuni has hired former Forcepoint, McAfee, Intel and Apple engineer Derek Murphy as its vice president of engineering for Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The company is supported by the government through IDA Ireland.
"We are looking for the right talent to fill senior, ‘greenfield development’ positions, cloud and analytics focused. This is high-value work, crucial to our business, and we are convinced we will find the right candidates in Ireland,” Murphy said.
Paul Flanagan, CEO of Nasuni, said the company was "committed to Ireland," praising the county for its "well-educated software talent pool" and volume of technology hubs, and confirmed that Nasuni had already incorporated Nasuni Ireland Ltd.

"Together with the strong support and relationship with the IDA and the diversity of the region, Ireland has a track record as a place to invest, and one that yields results," Flanagan added.
"This will complement the success that Nasuni has in its centres of innovation and offices across the globe, continuing to offer the same level of trusted file data services in the region. Our vision is to expand the team to over 55 people over the next three years."
Welcoming the announcement, Taoiseach Michéal Martin said: "This announcement is great news for Cork and indeed Ireland.
"With up to 55 jobs planned, Nasuni is placing a significant vote of confidence in Cork and further demonstrates our competitive position in attracting foreign direct investment. I am delighted that Nasuni chose to locate its innovation centre in Cork as part of its global expansion.”
IDA Ireland CEO Martin Shanahan said: “Nasuni’s investment comes at the right time, as remote work continues to create unprecedented challenges and cyber security is more important than ever for enterprises.
"The establishment of the EMEA Innovation Centre for Nasuni is a testament to the region’s highly-skilled and talented workforce and reinforces IDA Ireland’s mission to boost jobs and investment for regional locations. I welcome Nasuni to Ireland and wish the team every success with this expansion.”
Nasuni said the enterprise benefits of its services are cost-efficient, multi-site primary file storage capacity, standard file sharing protocols, and the ability to recover files systems after ransomware attacks in minutes.
The firm has a hybrid working arrangement in place across all its offices and that it expects its Cork site will also support hybrid working, with plans to open a physical facility in the near future.
