Citi, formally Citibank and part of Citigroup Inc., is a major global financial services company headquartered in New York. It provides consumer banking, commercial banking, investment banking, markets, securities services and wealth management to individuals, businesses, institutions and governments. Citi operates across numerous countries and has a significant presence in Ireland, particularly in Dublin, where it employs professionals in technology, operations, finance, risk, compliance and financial markets. Technology is central to the bank’s strategy, supporting secure digital products, large-scale transaction processing, data management and regulatory requirements.

Citi also offers structured career development, opportunities to work with global teams and exposure to complex banking platforms.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, banking technology, cybersecurity, data, finance, pharmaceuticals and multinational technology companies. Dublin is the main employment hub, while Cork, Galway and Limerick also have growing technology and business communities. Irish workplaces are generally collaborative and relatively informal, with direct communication and good emphasis on work-life balance. The lifestyle includes lively cities, coastal scenery, music, sport and easy access to countryside, although Dublin accommodation and living costs can be high. Non-EEA nationals normally need an employment permit; technology professionals may qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit if their occupation, salary and employer meet current requirements. EEA and Swiss citizens can work without a permit. Relocating usually involves arranging accommodation, tax registration, a Personal Public Service Number and suitable health and transport arrangements. Public transport is strongest in Dublin, while a car may be useful outside major cities.
