The Opportunity

As part of our continued investment in Ireland, KKR is launching a Technology & Engineering Centre of Excellence in Dublin. This new hub will play a central role in building the world’s first technology platform engineered to manage over one trillion dollars in alternative AUM (assets under management). Designed from the ground up for scale, security and speed, this is the infrastructure for the future of global finance. Areas of focus include investment technology, portfolio construction and management, liquidity solutions, risk analytics, and advanced data platforms.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a growing team within one of the world’s leading investment firms. You will contribute to high-visibility, strategic initiatives that are critical to the success of KKR’s business, working alongside a talented group of professionals.

We’re committed to attracting and developing top-tier technology talent in Ireland. We’re looking for exceptional engineers who are passionate about innovation, thrive in collaborative environments, and want to work on some of the most interesting challenges in financial technology.

Over the coming weeks, we will be meeting with outstanding engineers across the region to introduce KKR’s technology vision and identify candidates whose interests and skills align with our teams. Our goal is to ensure you are matched with a role and team where your contributions will have the greatest impact — and where you will be supported to grow and succeed.

We look forward to welcoming our global technology leadership team to Dublin in early August to meet with selected candidates in person.
