Origina opens Dublin headquarters, adding 350 jobs
Origina has opened a new global headquarters in Dublin, a move set to support 350 new roles.
The expansion will bring the Irish technology company's workforce to 750. The new jobs will span software engineering, security, data and AI. The headquarters, at the Termini Building in Sandyford, will serve as a centre for product development, security work and collaboration across its international operations.
Origina provides independent software support and maintenance for enterprise software used by large organisations. Its customers include Sainsbury's, Liberty Mutual, Canon and Capital One, and it works with software environments linked to vendors such as IBM, HCL and VMware.
The Dublin expansion comes as the company grows its business across Europe, North America and other markets. The new base is expected to contribute up to €28 million a year in direct economic activity in Ireland.
Growth Plans
Founded in Dublin in 2012, Origina has steadily expanded its presence in Ireland while building an international customer base. The latest hiring plan marks a significant increase in headcount and a larger operational footprint in its home market.
Enterprise Ireland is supporting job expansion, positioning the project within a broader push to grow Irish-owned technology businesses with international reach.
Chief executive Tomás O'Leary said the new site reflects the company's recent growth.
"When we began this project, the goal wasn't simply to move offices. It was to create a headquarters that reflects the scale, ambition and momentum of Origina as a global company. Origina has experienced extraordinary growth. Our customer base has expanded across continents, our teams have grown significantly, and the impact of the work we do for organisations around the world continues to increase. This new headquarters represents that journey, and more importantly, where we're going next," O'Leary said.
The company operates in a market that has attracted large corporate IT buyers seeking alternatives to software vendors' own maintenance contracts. Its business centres on supporting existing enterprise software estates rather than requiring customers to move immediately to new versions or vendor-led upgrade cycles.
Irish Base
Ireland remains a focal point for technology investment, supported by a large pool of technical workers and a concentration of multinational and domestic software businesses. Origina's decision to expand its Dublin presence adds to that trend while underlining the role of Irish-founded firms in the sector.
The new headquarters reinforces the company's long-term commitment to Ireland and will also serve as a base for developing technology talent as it scales internationally.
Enterprise Ireland chief executive Jenny Melia linked the jobs announcement to the agency's support for Irish exporters and technology firms.
"Origina, announcing 350 new jobs, is a great example of an ambitious Irish company growing its customer base through continuous innovation. I commend the company on the launch of its new predictive security product, and we look forward to continuing to support its growth journey," Melia said.
The office fit-out was designed and managed by Calibro Workspace, which was selected for the refurbishment as part of the move into the new premises.
Beyond the relocation, the expansion signals a period of increased recruitment for technical and specialist roles. Security, software engineering and data remain among the most competitive segments of Ireland's technology labour market.
For Origina, the headquarters investment also deepens a strategy focused on serving large enterprises that want to keep core systems running longer. That model has helped the company expand outside Ireland while keeping Dublin as its central base.
The business says it now serves enterprise customers across Europe, North America and other regions, with the new headquarters intended to coordinate that international work from Sandyford.
