The US tech firm Biller Genie is creating 100 new jobs in Northern Ireland.

The company has established a new office in Belfast and the roles will be filled over the next three years.

Biller Genie, based in Florida, provides a cloud-based accounts receivable platform that "automates bill presentment, follow up, online payments and reconciliation".

The company says it chose Northern Ireland following a rigorous evaluation of several global locations including Orlando, India, and South America.

Thomas Aronica, Founder and CEO of Biller Genie said they were "thrilled" to announce the opening of the new office in Belfast and said it marked a "major milestone" for the company.

"Northern Ireland stood out for its exceptional talent pool, world-class universities, and thriving tech community making it the perfect environment for innovation," he said.

The Economy Minister Caoimhe Archibald described the jobs as "a vote of confidence" in the workforce and thriving tech sector.

The minister added the jobs will have an average salary of £65,000 and "will provide excellent opportunities for local talent, while hybrid working arrangements will help ensure greater regional balance and accessibility".

Twenty of the new roles are already in place with future jobs on offer including software architects, senior developers, engineering managers and business analysts.
