[Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/) has [more than doubled its headcount in Dublin over the last 12 months to 190](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/), and it now has [ambitions to further double its current headcount by the end of the decade](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/), [with support from IDA Ireland](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/). The plan centres on [a significant expansion of its software engineering and data operations in Ireland](https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2026/1020/1596037-bloomberg-workforce-ireland/), and the target is [almost 400 staff](https://www.irishtimes.com/technology/2026/10/20/bloomberg-plans-to-double-irish-staff-number-in-pursuit-of-growth/). For [Metaintro](https://www.metaintro.com) readers who write code, work with data or support financial software, this guide covers how fast the team is meant to grow, which teams sit in Dublin, what a live Dublin engineering listing asks for, what benefits the office offers and where to apply.

## What Exactly Did Bloomberg Announce for Dublin?

The announcement on [October 20, 2026](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/) has three parts. The first is the headcount. Bloomberg has [doubled the headcount at its Dublin office to 190](https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-41926151.html), and that growth makes Dublin [Bloomberg's largest EU office](https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-41926151.html).

The second part is the type of work. The expansion covers [software engineering and data operations](https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-41926151.html), and the company describes the wider investment as one in [engineering, technology, product development, and data capabilities](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/).

The third part is leadership. Two senior hires, a [Director for Ireland and a Head of Engineering for Ireland](https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2026/1020/1596037-bloomberg-workforce-ireland/), will lead the next phase of growth.

No investment figure and no count of open roles appears in [the Bloomberg press release](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/). The doubling is [an ambition](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/), not a count of open vacancies.

## How Fast Is the Dublin Headcount Meant to Grow?

Bloomberg is [aiming to have 250 people in Dublin by the end of next year, with the remaining staff coming on board in the following two years](https://www.irishtimes.com/technology/2026/10/20/bloomberg-plans-to-double-irish-staff-number-in-pursuit-of-growth/). That matches [plans to double the Dublin headcount again over the next three years](https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-41926151.html).

The pace so far has been quick. The office has [more than doubled its staff numbers in Dublin over the last 12 months](https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2026/1020/1596037-bloomberg-workforce-ireland/), and the firm has [already secured additional space in its building in Charlemont Square](https://www.irishtimes.com/technology/2026/10/20/bloomberg-plans-to-double-irish-staff-number-in-pursuit-of-growth/) to make room.

> We are investing significantly in teams here because the problems we are solving in Dublin make a material difference to our clients globally, Head of Engineering for Ireland Richard Norton said, according to [the Bloomberg press release](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/).

## Which Teams Will the New Dublin Roles Go To?

The majority of Dublin employees [work in Engineering and Product](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/), alongside colleagues in [User Support, Finance, News, Corporate Functions, and teams supporting other Bloomberg products](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/).

The expansion leans the same way. "This investment will [strengthen Bloomberg's engineering, product development, and enterprise data capabilities from Dublin, creating highly skilled roles](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/)," said IDA Ireland chief executive Michael Lohan. Bloomberg continues to [invest in and expand](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/) its [engineering and product talent locally](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/).

No breakdown of the planned roles by team appears in [the company announcement](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/).

Open roles already show the mix. Bloomberg's Dublin job search lists [15 results](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs/?1845=%5B162465%5D&1845_format=3996&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=12), including [Database Platform Engineer](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs/?1845=%5B162465%5D&1845_format=3996&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=12) and [Senior Platform Engineer](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs/?1845=%5B162465%5D&1845_format=3996&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=12) roles on Data License Plus, a Data License Plus [Product Specialist](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs/?1845=%5B162465%5D&1845_format=3996&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=12) post for EMEA, a [Senior Security Incident Manager](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs/?1845=%5B162465%5D&1845_format=3996&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=12), a [Senior iOS Engineer](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs/?1845=%5B162465%5D&1845_format=3996&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=12) and a team leader for [Sustainable Finance Data Governance & Controls](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs/?1845=%5B162465%5D&1845_format=3996&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=12). Several of these sit outside pure coding, in product, security and data governance.

## What Is Data License Plus, and Why Is It Built in Dublin?

Many of Bloomberg's Dublin teams work on [Data License Plus (DL+)](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/), a core offering within the company's Enterprise Data business that delivers [high-quality, multi-asset data and analytics solutions to financial institutions around the world](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/).

In plain terms, DL+ is [a fully managed service that hosts, aggregates, organizes and links](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644) a client's Data License data [into a unified model designed for immediate use](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644). It can also publish licensed data straight into a client's cloud platform, [such as Snowflake, Databricks, AWS RedShift, Google GCP](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644).

The DL+ engineering group has [three distinct groups](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/). A Technology Infrastructure team runs compute, storage, networks and databases, a Platform team provides [job scheduling, file storage services, data manufacturing pipelines and persistent data services](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/), and an Applications and Content team owns the [web application, API, cloud delivery](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/) and data fulfilment work.

The work is not new to the city. Bloomberg has been [innovating on data processing in Dublin for over 20 years](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644). In a [DL+ team profile dated December 02, 2025](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/), a DL+ manager named one of the biggest challenges as the need [to fill the large number of open positions that we have](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/). DL+ Engineering has [people from 21 different countries](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/), and its manager [runs the team out of Dublin](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/), with team members as far away as [London, New York, and Singapore](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/).

## What Does a Dublin Engineering Listing Ask For?

The [Senior Software Engineer, Data License Plus role](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644) is listed for Dublin in the Engineering and CTO business area, and it asks for these skills.

- [Software engineering experience in production environments](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644)
- [Demonstrated experience working with an object-oriented programming language (ideally Java or Python)](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644)
- [Broad knowledge of data structures and algorithms](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644) and [a thorough understanding of systems architecture](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644)
- [An understanding of modern design patterns and proven experience applying them](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644)

The nice-to-have list in this role is a good study guide. It includes [experience in implementing APIs in a Microservices Architecture](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644), [familiarity with a relational database like Oracle or Postgres, and NoSql databases such as ElasticSearch](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644), [big data file formats such Avro, Parquet or data lake technologies like Apache Iceberg or Delta lake](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644), and [messaging and streaming technologies such as RMQ or Kafka](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644).

The team's stack is spelled out in the same posting. It runs on [Java, Python, SpringBoot, Oracle, Postgres, Elastic Search, RabbitMQ, Kafka, ValKey, Zookeeper, Spark](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644) and other standard components.

No salary appears in [this Dublin listing](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644), so ask about pay early in the process. Dublin applicants who need [a reasonable adjustment or accommodation to apply](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs/?1845=%5B162465%5D&1845_format=3996&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=12) can email EMEA_recruit@bloomberg.net, the address for applications in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Where given, [years of experience are a guide](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644), and Bloomberg will consider applications from all candidates who can show the skills the role needs.

## Can Graduates and Career Changers Apply?

Yes, there is an early-career route. For students and recent graduates, an [entry-level software engineering or intern role at Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/what-we-do/engineering-cto/) may not be tied to a single team or department, because the company wants to learn about your skills through the interview process and then help you find the right team.

You do not need to come from computer science to be considered. Candidates [not from a computer science background](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/what-we-do/engineering-cto/) are still welcome to apply. Students [looking for an internship](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/) and graduates [seeking a full-time position](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/) are also invited to apply.

The internship can lead somewhere. One engineer on the DL+ Manufacturing and Storage Services (MASS) team, who started in Dublin and now works from London, found the firm through his university's [internship program](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/), and the team he joined tries [to take on an intern every year](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/stories/meet-the-team-data-license-plus-engineering/), with every intern on that team given a mentor.

Experienced hires go through a different process. For experienced candidates, the interview is [customized to the role](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/what-we-do/engineering-cto/) and typically starts with [one or two phone interviews, followed by in-house interviews](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/what-we-do/engineering-cto/).

## What Benefits Does Bloomberg List for Dublin Staff?

The Dublin benefits are [designed locally and delivered through leading Irish providers](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/). The highlights on [Bloomberg's current Dublin careers page](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/) are listed below.

- Healthcare through [Laya Healthcare, with company-paid premiums](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/)
- A retirement savings plan from [Irish Life, including company contributions](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/)
- [Up to 26 weeks of paid parental leave](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/) for primary caregivers
- Fertility and family planning support through [Carrot](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/)
- [An on-site gym and wellness resources](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/) at the Dublin office

Staff also get [mental health support, tuition reimbursement for professional development, commuter programs and a range of employee discounts](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/). No amounts for the tuition or pension support appear on [the Dublin careers page](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/), so raise those at the offer stage.

## Who Are the Two New Leaders Running the Expansion?

Amanda Brady joins as [Director for Ireland](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/). A Donegal native, she [joined Bloomberg earlier this year after previously holding global leadership roles across a range of financial services firms in the US, Australia and the UK](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/), and she will also lead DL+ globally.

Richard Norton becomes [Head of Engineering for Ireland](https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2026/1020/1596037-bloomberg-workforce-ireland/). He is [a 20-year Bloomberg veteran and Engineering leader](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/) who relocated to Ireland this year, and he will also lead the engineering side of DL+ globally.

Both roles tie the city to the product. Brady and Norton will serve as [global leaders of the company's enterprise data delivery platform](https://www.siliconrepublic.com/jobs-news/bloomberg-to-double-dublin-headcount-by-2030-data-engineering-product). Norton pointed to earlier investment too, saying, "[Last year we made a number of investments here in the team in Ireland, particularly in engineering](https://www.irishtimes.com/technology/2026/10/20/bloomberg-plans-to-double-irish-staff-number-in-pursuit-of-growth/)."

> We are now the largest in the EU. London will always be the flagship, Director for Ireland Amanda Brady told [The Irish Times](https://www.irishtimes.com/technology/2026/10/20/bloomberg-plans-to-double-irish-staff-number-in-pursuit-of-growth/).

## Where Is the Office, and What Is It Like?

The team works from [One Charlemont Square](https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-41926151.html), where Bloomberg opened its office in late 2025, bringing [two previous sites into a single purpose-built hub](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/). It was opened by Michael R. Bloomberg and [Paschal Donohoe, the then-Minister for Finance](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/bloomberg-expands-irish-operations-and-appoints-new-dublin-leadership-team/).

The building is part of the [184,000 sq ft (17,094 m²) Charlemont Square development](https://www.cundall.com/projects/bloomberg) in the city's central business district, and the office has [achieved LEED Gold and WiredScore Platinum](https://www.cundall.com/projects/bloomberg). [Cundall's building services engineering work](https://www.cundall.com/projects/bloomberg) included [an intelligent lighting control system with integrated daylight-harvesting dimming functionality](https://www.cundall.com/projects/bloomberg).

## Why Do Companies Like Bloomberg Keep Choosing Dublin?

Brady said Bloomberg is [seeing an increasing demand for the services and solutions it provides](https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2026/1020/1596037-bloomberg-workforce-ireland/) and said "[Ireland's depth of home-grown engineering and STEM talent has made Dublin a natural home for our operations](https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2026/1020/1596037-bloomberg-workforce-ireland/)."

The founder made the same case in an op-ed quoted by IDA Ireland, writing that [nearly 40 percent of Ireland's undergraduates pursue degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math](https://www.idaireland.com/latest-news/insights/how-ireland%E2%80%99s-educated-workforce-enables-rapid-growth) and that, per capita, Ireland has [the highest STEM graduation rate in the EU](https://www.idaireland.com/latest-news/insights/how-ireland%E2%80%99s-educated-workforce-enables-rapid-growth).

The Taoiseach tied the plan to the wider economy. Micheál Martin said "[digital and technological services are crucial for future-proofing our economy](https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2026/1020/1596037-bloomberg-workforce-ireland/)", and he called the plan [evidence of the strong economic offering Ireland has in technology, data, and STEM](https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-41926151.html).

Bloomberg's plan follows [OpenAI's latest Dublin jobs plan](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/openai-200-more-dublin-jobs-applied-ai-lab-450-roles) and [Stripe's planned Dublin engineering jobs](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/stripe-dublin-200-engineering-go-to-market-jobs).

## What This Means for Job Seekers in Ireland, and What Should You Do Next?

Bloomberg wants to go from [190 to almost 400 staff](https://www.irishtimes.com/technology/2026/10/20/bloomberg-plans-to-double-irish-staff-number-in-pursuit-of-growth/), and the majority of its Dublin employees [work in Engineering and Product](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/). If you build backend systems, data pipelines or cloud infrastructure, this plan is worth tracking closely.

- **Watch the right portal.** Live roles are on [Bloomberg's Dublin job search](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs/?1845=%5B162465%5D&1845_format=3996&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=12), including [this Dublin DL+ listing](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644), and the [Working at Bloomberg in Dublin page](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/global-roles/working-at-bloomberg-in-dublin/) explains which teams are based there.
- **Learn the DL+ stack.** The listed tools include [Java, Python, SpringBoot, Oracle, Postgres](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644) and streaming tools like Kafka. It also helps to know the client cloud platforms DL+ delivers into, [such as Snowflake and Databricks](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644).
- **Show production work.** The senior listing's first requirement is [software engineering experience in production environments](https://bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobDetail/Senior-Software-Engineer-Data-License-Plus/20644), so lead your [software engineer resume](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/how-to-write-a-software-engineer-resume) with systems you have shipped and run.
- **Graduates, apply broadly.** Entry-level engineering roles [may not be specific to a team or department](https://www.bloomberg.com/company/what-we-do/engineering-cto/), so do not hold back because you have not picked a specialism.
- **Do not wait for the full doubling.** The nearest step is [250 people in Dublin by the end of next year](https://www.irishtimes.com/technology/2026/10/20/bloomberg-plans-to-double-irish-staff-number-in-pursuit-of-growth/), so new seats are planned to open over the next few years, not only at the end of the decade.
