The California-headquartered firm, Cohesity, an artificial intelligence-powered data security and management, announced the opening of its operations in the WeWork building located in Cariari Canton in Heredia Province.

With an investment of $8 million in Costa Rica, specifically for headcount expansion and office space, the company will provide a workspace to foster collaboration, creativity, and employee well-being.

Cohesity helps organizations defend against cybersecurity threats with comprehensive data security and management capabilities, including immutable backup snapshots, AI-based threat detection, monitoring for malicious behavior, and rapid recovery at scale. 

“Costa Rica reflects the values we cherish at Cohesity: integrity, respect, innovation, and a customer-centric culture. With its local talent, highly skilled workforce, thriving economy, and growing technological ecosystem, it is the ideal place for Cohesity's success, " said Pablo Arce, Cohesity's Costa Rican Director. " From here, we can not only offer our technology to local organizations but also contribute to bringing our solutions to clients worldwide.” 

The firm plans to enhance its Costa Rican team further, to increase its employee headcount by 20% by 2024.

Currently, the company has 25 open positions, targeting bilingual professionals with intermediate or advanced English proficiency. These job opportunities span various areas, from software architecture, customer service, and finance to sales representatives, marketing directors, and graphic designers.  Those interested should visit the firm jobs website.

 

It has additional offices in the United States, India and Ireland.

Cohesity is one of many U.S. firms hiring in Costa Rica.  Last week, the Sunnyvale, CA. USA-based, industrial supply company R.S. Hughes opened its operations in Alajuela Province.

However, Costa Rica's unemployment remains at 7.3%, according to the National Employment Survey. Data recorded from Oct. to Dec. 2023 shows more than 164,000 people without registered jobs. Of these, 95,000 are men, making up 58% of the unemployed people in the country.
