RxSense Opens First European Office in Dublin
US health-tech company RxSense has officially launched its first European office in Dublin, announcing plans to create 75 full-time tech roles over the next two years. This strategic expansion aims to leverage Ireland's renowned talent pool and innovation ecosystem to drive the company's growth and scale its US operations.
Engineering and Product Focus
The new Dublin-based team will primarily consist of cross-functional squads including scrum, delivery, product, UI/UX, and full-stack engineers. Approximately 70% of the hiring will focus on engineering roles, with key positions such as a director of software engineering.
AI-Powered Healthcare Solutions
RxSense provides technology solutions to pharmacies and health systems to improve margins, while also powering discount cards and digital marketplaces to deliver lower-cost prescriptions to consumers. The Dublin team will play a crucial role in developing new products and advancing the company's AI-powered innovation.
Impact and Endorsements
In 2023, RxSense saved 11 million patients an average of $76 per prescription, while gathering around 35 million data points daily on wholesale and retail pricing for business clients.
Rick Bates, founder and CEO of RxSense, stated: "Ireland has a well-earned reputation for excellence in technology, and many US companies have found tremendous success expanding here. Dublin offers talent density, innovation-driven culture, and alignment with our US roots."
Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke, TD, welcomed the investment: "This is a strong vote of confidence in Ireland's world-class talent and thriving innovation ecosystem. RxSense's presence will strengthen our position as a global leader in healthcare technology."
Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland, added: "This decision to create 75 high-value jobs is a strong endorsement of Ireland's reputation as a global hub for technology and innovation. Our pro-business environment and highly skilled talent pool make Ireland ideal for European expansion."
Broader Tech Expansion in Ireland
This announcement follows recent expansions by other tech companies in Ireland, including DocuSign's plan to grow its Dublin engineering team by 20% and healthcare software company Dedalus creating 100 new roles over the next four years.
