About the employer

Citi is a major global financial institution providing banking, lending, payments, markets, securities services, and wealth management to individuals, businesses, governments, and institutional investors. Headquartered in New York, the company operates across many countries and has a substantial technology and operations presence in Ireland, particularly in Dublin. Citi uses large-scale digital platforms to support international transactions, risk management, customer services, and financial markets. Its technology teams work on cloud adoption, cybersecurity, data, application engineering, and modern banking infrastructure.

Working in Ireland

Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, financial technology, cybersecurity, data, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and multinational business services. Dublin is the main employment hub and has an international, youthful culture, though Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford also offer growing technology markets. Irish workplaces are generally collaborative and informal, while English is the primary business language. The lifestyle combines lively cities, historic towns, coastal scenery, music, sport, and easy access to countryside; housing, especially in Dublin, can be expensive and competitive. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens generally do not need an employment visa. Most other nationals need an employment permit, commonly a Critical Skills Employment Permit for eligible technology roles, followed by immigration registration after arrival. Candidates should arrange accommodation, tax registration, banking, healthcare access, and private health cover where appropriate before relocating.
