Irish technology company nearForm has announced 100 new technology jobs as it officially opened its new headquarters in Tramore, Co Waterford. Founded in Waterford in 2011, by Cian Ó Maidín and Richard Rodger, nearForm is a world leader in revolutionary internet technologies Node.js and microservices. These technologies empower teams of software programmers to build faster, more stable, more versatile business platforms for large enterprises. Without any external investment to date, nearForm has already expanded to a staff of 35 people, with clients including Qualcomm, Intel, Universal, littleBits, DPD and Condé Nast. The company is now looking to bring a greater engineering discipline to software in order to improve reliability and design. “It’s a really proud day for us to announce these high-end jobs for Tramore. We were strongly urged by many parties to relocate to the U.S. Our growth to 35 staff over the last three years has vindicated this decision. We look forward to growing in Tramore and hiring local and international expertise to share in our journey,” said Ó Maidín, nearForm chief executive officer. Co-founders Ó Maidín and  Richard Rodger were among the first in the world to identify the beginnings of a new era in internet technology that would revolutionise the way business is done online. “The key elements of the technology that we specialise in are Node.js and microservices. These technologies empower teams of software programmers to build faster, more stable, more versatile business platforms for large enterprises. nearForm has established itself as a global expert in driving the adoption of these Silicon Valley technologies by large enterprises,” said nearForm’s chief technology officer, Richard Rodger. nearForm is an international thought leader on Node.js and has hosted a number of conferences worldwide on the subject. Next month, the company will hold the first ever conference in the One World Trade Centre in New York.
