Bloomberg has doubled the headcount at its Dublin office to 190, with plans to double it again over the next three years. It gives data and technology operators a dated headcount target for an engineering hub that is now the company’s largest in the EU.

Bloomberg is a New York-headquartered financial data and technology company. Its Dublin teams are central to the Enterprise Data business, building products such as DL+ that deliver multi-asset data and analytics to financial institutions worldwide.

The growth is supported by IDA Ireland. Amanda Brady joins as director for Ireland and Richard Norton as head of engineering for Ireland, both from Bloomberg’s New York headquarters, to lead the next phase.

The company opened its office at One Charlemont Square in late 2025, consolidating two previous sites into a single purpose-built hub. Michael R. Bloomberg and then finance minister Paschal Donohoe opened it.

Cundall, the building services engineer, reported that the fit-out combined the two workspaces and that the office has achieved LEED Gold and WiredScore Platinum, with a building management system installed to optimise indoor air quality.

Norton said: “Relocating to Dublin to lead our engineering team was an easy decision. The engineering and technology talent in Ireland is exceptional, and the work being done here sits at the core of Bloomberg’s data and technology offering. We are investing significantly in teams here because the problems we are solving in Dublin make a material difference to our clients globally.”

Brady said: “We’re seeing an increasing demand for the services and the innovative solutions we provide. Ireland’s depth of home-grown engineering and STEM talent has made Dublin a natural home for our operations, and I’m really excited about our long-term plans for Dublin and beyond.”

Taoiseach Micheál Martin welcomed the announcement as evidence of Ireland’s offering in technology, data and STEM. IDA Ireland chief executive Michael Lohan said the investment will strengthen Bloomberg’s engineering, product development and enterprise data capabilities from Dublin.

For the sector, consolidating two sites into one engineering hub and then doubling its headcount signals that data providers are concentrating product development where teams and clients can be supported at scale.
