Druid Software Graduate Software Engineer |Location: Bray, County Wicklow About Druid Software Founded in 2000, Druid Software is based in the seaside town of Bray Co. Wicklow.

We started with 2G and now we deploy the most cutting edge of 5G networks. We focus specifically on private cellular networks as opposed to public networks, so we work with our hardware and system integrator partners to deploy private networks for enterprises.
