Description
OpenAI Ireland, the Irish subsidiary of US artificial intelligence company OpenAI, announced plans to create 250 jobs as part of the expansion of its European Union headquarters in Dublin’s Docklands. The roles will span go-to-market operations, engineering, user operations, human resources, finance, privacy, legal and workplace functions and will be created over the next two years.
The move is driven by rapidly growing demand from users, customers and developers across the European region, reinforcing OpenAI’s commitment to support innovation and collaboration in Ireland. The new positions will be based in Dublin, adding to the existing workforce of more than 100 employees currently based there. Taoiseach Micheál Martin and IDA Ireland welcomed the investment along with IDA Ireland.
