This week's read
There are 126 open Solutions Engineer roles in Ireland right now, spread across 54 companies. A role stays open for a median of 36 days. New postings in the last 30 days hit 80, up from 45 in the prior 30 days, a 78% rise.
Look week by week and the picture shifts. Postings rose steadily from early September, peaked at 19 new roles in the week of 5 October, then eased to 13 by the week of 26 October. That is a 32% drop from the peak week, so the pace has cooled even though the monthly total is still up.
Salesforce leads with 17 open roles, followed by EY and Notion at 11 each, then McKesson and Microsoft at 9. The top 8 employers together hold 54% of all open roles, so a handful of names account for more than half the market.
If visa sponsorship matters to you, 41% of open roles sit at employers with recent filings on Ireland's employment permits list, including Notion, Microsoft, Stripe and Workday. On experience, the median minimum asked is 5 years, and 1 in 5 roles ask for 10 or more. AI and machine learning appear in 32% of postings, ahead of Python at 22% and Azure at 20%.
Only 7% of roles are remote, so most of this hiring expects you in an office. Pay is rarely stated too: just 30% of postings list a figure, not enough to say what the market pays overall.
What this means for you
Three things you can act on this week
- Monthly growth, weekly cooldown
Postings are up 78% over 30 days, but the weekly count has dropped 32% since the 5 October peak. Don't assume the fastest pace is still happening now.
- Check visa sponsor history
41% of open roles sit at employers with recent visa filings on Ireland's employment permits list, among them Notion, Microsoft, Stripe and Workday. Worth checking before you apply if sponsorship matters to you.
- Experience bar is real
The median minimum years asked is 5, and 1 in 5 roles want 10 or more. If you are earlier in your career, look closely at which roles actually state years before assuming you don't qualify.

Momentum
New Solutions Engineering roles each week
Last 30 days: 80 new roles, against 45 the 30 days before (+78%). Each week counts the same companies, and a role counts as new only in the week it was posted, so a careers site we start reading never shows up as growth.
