Dublin and Galway to get 160 tech jobs boost

Two technology companies are to create 160 jobs over the coming years as they set up their first Irish bases.

DocuSign is an e-signature company that allows companies to sign documents online rather than in paper format. It is to create up to 100 sales and technical support staff roles in Dublin.

The expansion comes after what the company describes as a breakout year in 2014 which saw its customer base swell to 100,000.
