The jobs will be filled on a rolling basis over the next 18 months, according to Dimply’s head of talent. The roles will be hybrid, as the fintech has employees in several different countries.
Dimply, an Irish fintech founded in 2020, has said it plans to create 20 new jobs over the next 18 months.
It was founded by Alan Quinlan, Colm McLoughlin and Johnny Kane. Speaking to SiliconRepublic.com, Quinlan said the company already employs 14 or 15 people, and that number is growing gradually, albeit steadily.
He added that the hiring plans were made possible thanks to Dimply’s recent funding success, as well as a number of large clients coming on board.
The Business Post reported that the fintech increased its headcount following a €1m increase in recent months. This brings Dimply’s total funding to date to more than €3 million.
Its backers include Hostelworld founder Ray Nolan, as well as Delta Partners, Enterprise Ireland and several angel investors.
Dimply helps financial companies build customer engagement. It uses AI-powered behavioral personalization. When it comes to recruiting, the startup mostly centers its efforts around product.
Eoin O’Shea, head of talent at Dimply, told SiliconRepublic.com that the company has recently hired several front-end developers, and will look to hire back-end developers and product designers.
“We’re a true product-first company, so our product designers are pretty strong about what we actually do.
So increasing our capacity will probably always be one of our priorities,” he said, adding that other teams will be added as the business continues to scale.
The company operates on an external-first model, with Quinlan and O’Shea saying they hire from anywhere in Ireland, or further afield.
Currently, Dimply has a presence in six different countries, including Australia. Its Irish offices are in Dublin’s Dogpatch Labs, while it also has a hub in Brighton in the UK.
“It’s nice to have a geographically dispersed team, but it’s also nice to be able to get together up in Dublin when we can,” O’Shea said.
Both are also keen to focus on building a diverse team, and Quinlan observes that he has seen a bit more diversity in the candidate pool in recent months.
“The more diverse your team is, the more diverse your product will be,” O’Shea agreed.
They also plan to be careful when adding new team members, with O’Shea pointing out that “the dynamic of a team changes with each person who joins.”
“People always ask me what the culture is like in a small team. Every single person who joins, the culture changes. Each vote adds a new element to the culture. So it’s about getting the balance right.”
