Web Summit plans to create 100 new positions at its Dublin headquarters during the coming year.
This is on top of 73 jobs created during 2015 which doubled the company's workforce.
In a blog post, co-founder Paddy Cosgrave said the positions are in "sales, engineering, data science and more" and that all of the vacancies will be based in Dublin.
The statement also welcomed Giuseppe Vitulano, Google’s former head of sales in EMEA, to the company. He will lead its growing sales teams.
