US software giant Tricentis is to significantly expand its operations in Ireland with the company moving to a new Cork office as it grows its headcount.

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, with 26 offices globally, Tricentis provides AI-powered solutions to automate testing and improve software quality.
Its Cork operation to date has focused on consolidating international finance and building various functions such as payroll, accounts payable, projects, revenue, legal, data analytics, and more.
The new job roles will expand further across several key areas such as sales, engineering, finance, business operations, and customer growth, Tricentis said.
"This investment highlights Ireland's appeal as a hub for innovation and technology, supported by the strategic efforts of IDA Ireland," said Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
Visiting Tricentis at its Austin-headquarters this week, Mr Martin added: "During my meeting with the Tricentis team in Texas, I learned that the team in Ireland has led several initiatives to optimise Tricentis’ international business operations. We look forward to the positive impact this project will have."
Minister for Enterprise Tourism and Employment Peter Burke said: “I welcome the news that Tricentis is expanding its team in Cork, creating 50 new roles. This development exemplifies the type of projects we aim to attract and secure under Ireland’s National AI Strategy: ‘AI – Here for Good’.
The project is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland, with CEO Michael Lohan noting that Tridentis' decision to locate in Cork City "highlights the South West region’s highly skilled and talented workforce."
"Securing new name investments such as this is central to our new strategy. I wish Tricentis every success and assure them of IDA Ireland’s continued support.”
In 2024, Tricentis generated over $425m (€392m) in annual recurring revenue (ARR), and growth of approximately 27% year-on-year.
Kevin Thompson, Tricentis CEO, stated: “Ireland plays a crucial role in our vision to drive Tricentis revenue over $1bn and cement ourselves globally as the leader in software quality.
"The majority of our executive team has already been building and managing teams within Ireland for many years, so we know from experience what an incredible advantage we gain from closer ties with such a business-friendly country and highly talented workforce.
"We look forward to continuing our journey and contributing to the vibrant tech ecosystem in Ireland."
