Global payroll, tax, and payments platform transitioning to serverless AWS infrastructure
CluneTech operates a multi-company suite handling payroll, tax compliance, and cross-border payments for multinational clients across 30 countries. The tech stack is heavily AWS-native (Lambda, EventBridge, Step Functions, DynamoDB, Aurora), with active momentum toward serverless and event-driven architecture — evidenced by projects focused on migrating legacy systems, establishing Infrastructure-as-Code standards (Terraform, AWS CDK), and building scalable data pipelines. The engineering-forward hiring mix (3 of 8 open roles) and pain-point focus on deployment automation and compliance frameworks suggest a company modernizing operational delivery while managing regulatory complexity at scale.
CluneTech is a suite of interconnected businesses providing corporate financial solutions — global payroll administration, tax return preparation and compliance, international payments, and promotional management — to large multinational enterprises. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Kilkenny, Ireland, the group employs over 1,200 people across 30 countries. The technology platform runs on AWS infrastructure and serves use cases spanning income tax refunds, VAT compliance, dividend withholding tax recovery, and tuition fee processing. The company combines in-house service delivery with cloud automation to handle regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
CluneTech runs primarily on AWS, with services including Lambda, EventBridge, Step Functions, DynamoDB, Aurora, Glue, Athena, API Gateway, and Cognito. Infrastructure is managed via Terraform and AWS CDK.
Active projects include serverless migration of legacy systems, establishing unified Infrastructure-as-Code strategy, implementing event-driven architecture, building scalable data processing platforms, and automating release and change approval workflows.
