Gaming company to create 100 new jobs

Gaming company Swrve has announced plans to add 100 jobs to its workforce in Ireland over the next two years.

The firm, one of the world’s leading mobile gaming businesses, will create the jobs on the back of funding worth $6.25m (€4.9m) led by Atlantic Bridge Partners and Intel Capital.

Swrve is already used by some of the world’s largest games publishers - handling the data of more than five million players every day.

Hugh Reynolds, Swrve chief executive, said: “This funding round puts us in an outstanding position for growth.

“Our team in Dublin already consists of the brightest and best – we just need more of them. A lot more.”
