BANK of Ireland has announced plans to recruit for 100 tech roles across the island of Ireland.

The positions, including technical architects, software developers, engineers, specialised project managers, scrum masters and data analysts, will be open to applicants across the island.

Bank of Ireland said the new roles will work from a combination of home and central office locations, including Belfast, and with access to a network of 11 remote working hubs in the Republic.

Eimear Harty, HR director for technology and customer solutions, said the bank has experienced rapid change in recent years.

“Last year alone, our mobile app log-ins grew 63 per cent compared with 2020. We processed 244 million contactless transactions, up 43 per cent. And 94 per cent of our everyday product applications are now digitised,” she said.

“These new roles will further support our progress and momentum as we build a world-class, diverse technology team.”
