The new positions will most likely work across the four divisions that operate in Dublin area for Microsoft.In a statement to the Irish Times, managing director of Microsoft Ireland, Cathriona Hallahan describes the type of employees the company is hoping to acquire through its newly established job hunt.

The type of people we are looking to attract should be creative thinkers with a growth mindset, passionate about technology innovation, customer-obsessed, and interested in working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. The roles that we’re recruiting for are diverse and demonstrate the breadth of opportunities available when working with a technology leader. In particular, our engineering roles span Windows, Office, Dynamics and Azure Cloud Services.”

In addition to the new jobs, Microsoft is also investing roughly134 million into building a new centralized campusfor its employees. The news Microsoft’s Ireland job hunt stands juxtaposed to many of its more recent actions of cutting jobs and shuffling of management to keep the company lean and driven. Perhaps, Microsoft is taking a pause on job cutting and looking to re-establish its international presence.
