IT Salaries in Ireland Are on the Move – Here's Why

After a turbulent few years, the IT market in Ireland is roaring back—with a 30% increase in job opportunities expected in 2025​. From AI and cybersecurity to DevOps and data science, demand is rising fast, and so are salaries.

One of the key takeaways from the latest FRS Recruitment IT Insights Report is that salaries are becoming more fluid, driven by:


  • Growing internal mobility as IT professionals become more confident in changing roles
  • A strong push to retain top talent amid intense competition


What Can IT Professionals Expect to Earn in 2025?

The salary guide on pages 9–10 of the report provides a clear benchmark across core roles:



Role Entry Level Mid-Level Senior
.NET Developer €40k €55k €75k
Python Developer €45k €65k €95k
AI Engineer €40k €70k €120k
DevOps Engineer €45k €65k €120k
Data Analysts €40k €50k €70k

Project Manager €50k €55k €75k

In Dublin, where demand is highest, professionals can expect to earn at the upper end of these ranges​.


What's Fuelling the Demand in Dublin?

Dublin continues to lead the tech charge in Ireland. As the report notes, roles in AI, software engineering, and data science are especially in demand​. At the same time, there’s been a gradual shift away from fully remote roles, with many employers pushing for hybrid models​.


This shift is pushing talent to reconsider not only where they work but also how much they’re willing to accept for greater flexibility.
