Hiring covers engineering, research, development, quality, and technical operations roles. Cisco's Galway office is a major engineering centre, with teams working on core networking technologies, security products, and collaboration platforms. The Galway operation has a long history, having evolved from the IronPort and Sourcefire acquisitions.
The seniority profile includes mid-level and senior engineering positions, reflecting Galway's role as a deep engineering hub rather than a sales or support office.

Cisco's Galway presence is one of the most significant technology engineering operations in the west of Ireland, providing high-quality engineering careers outside Dublin. The office's focus on networking infrastructure and security products means engineers work on technology that forms the backbone of global internet and enterprise communications.
Cisco's scale as a $50B+ revenue company combined with its Galway location makes it a cornerstone employer for the region's tech ecosystem. The company consistently invests in R&D and has a strong track record of retaining engineering talent in Galway.
For networking, security, and software engineers in Galway, Cisco offers careers with one of the technology industry's most established and respected companies. The company provides top-tier compensation including equity (RSUs), comprehensive benefits, generous paid time off, and world-class engineering culture. Cisco's Galway campus is a genuine centre of engineering excellence — not a cost-centre — making it one of the most attractive technology employers in the west of Ireland.
