IT Infrastructure Salary Guide 2025

Introduction

2024 showed similar market movement to 2023, with 11.5% of candidates changing jobs (down from 12% the previous year). Not surprising as companies continue to struggle with a candidate shortage for senior hires, and hiring timelines continuously exceed 60 days to make the right hire. Our clients have found the help of our specialist IT Infrastructure Recruiters invaluable.

The Irish Infrastructure and Cloud jobs market in 2025 is entering a phase of stability and transformation, following a slow market in early 2024. As the Irish tech industry is beginning to mature from its post covid “boom”, and subsequent fall, our Cloud workforce continues to grow whilst employers combat the market’s need for hybrid working as one of the most significant developments in 2025 is the solidification of hybrid work models.

While some large employers are pushing for more on-site work, the resistance from a workforce accustomed to the flexibility of remote work is palpable. The companies that thrive in this environment are those that embrace hybrid models, offering a balance that appeals to both urban and non-urban Engineers. Flexibility is no longer just a perk; it’s becoming a critical factor in talent attraction and retention, and this is true even more in the Cloud and DevOps space, where top resources remain sparse.

Looking Ahead

As before, the 2025 Cloud and Infrastructure jobs market is projected to see continued high demand for skilled AWS, Azure and GCP Engineers and Architects with remote working still at the top of the list for candidates in Ireland.
