The company is recruiting for 40 hybrid roles, adding to its 700-strong international IT workforce across five markets including Ireland, the UK, US, Romania and New Zealand.

Welcoming the investment, which is supported by Invest Northern Ireland, Economy Minister Conor Murphy said: "The software and cyber sector is one of the north’s most innovative, productive and export-orientated sectors. Ergo's investment recognises the benefits of establishing operations in the north, it capitalises on our high-quality IT skills base and world-class IT graduates.

"Investments like Ergo's will help to grow the sector by creating high-quality jobs that support economic growth. With salaries well above the private sector median, these roles will contribute almost £2.4 million annually into the local economy.

"I also welcome Ergo's commitment to equality and inclusivity, aligning with my vision of providing Good Jobs for all."
