Datavant, the data collaboration platform trusted for healthcare, has officially opened its state-of-the-art global research and development centre at Bonham Quay in Galway. The company also announced that it has already hired 100 employees in Ireland, putting it ahead of its target to fill 125 roles by the end of next year.
The new space can accommodate up to 160 workspaces with bespoke environments for company-wide town hall meetings, team meet ups, ideation sessions and recreational activities. The design and fit out of the space will ensure that Datavant Ireland team members work in an environment that facilitates collaboration and innovation.
The team at Bonham Quay owns some of Datavant’s most crucial roadmap items, focusing on advancing platform enhancements, automated record retrieval, security and privacy practices and product development. The impact of the Irish office will have a profound effect on the company’s mission, incorporating work from a wide range of business units and use cases across the organisation.
The company announced its intention in March last year to open its Global R&D Centre in Galway with the company operating from the PorterShed since then while the fit-out of Bonham Quay was being completed. Datavant Ireland is fully integrated into the company’s global operations.
The company continues to recruit for a range of engineering roles, with a focus on experienced software professionals. Visit the Datavant Ireland careers page.
Kyle Armbrester, CEO of Datavant, said: “The global healthcare industry is undergoing a profound shift with AI accelerating demand for comprehensive, accurate, patient-consented health data. Through our investments over the years, Datavant has become the digital connector of health data across the entire healthcare ecosystem and the team in Galway is a big part of helping make this vast amount of data actionable to improve health outcomes and reduce costs.
“Our Galway technology centre is a core part of our strategy to follow the sun and work on solving healthcare’s most complex challenges 24/7. Galway is an amazing, culturally diverse city and the team here is building some of the most complex products and tech suites that we have across Datavant. We have already witnessed huge innovation coming out of Datavant Ireland that is a testament to our fantastic team. I am delighted to celebrate the opening of our Bonham Quay office with our team and excited about all that we will be able to achieve together.”
Datavant has executive headquarters in New York and boasts nearly 10,000 employees.
