US audio entertainment company SiriusXM said it plans to create 200 jobs over the next few years in Ireland.
The announcement coincides with the opening of the company’s new technology centre in Dublin.
SiriusXM said its Dublin-based team will be pivotal to its continued digital transformation, serving as a centre of excellence for its Product and Technology organisation and fostering innovation and collaboration among its growing international team.
Focusing on key areas such as automotive technology, adtech, data science and engineering, workers at the Dublin hub will drive the development of high-quality, scalable software solutions for SiriusXM’s streaming services and in-vehicle entertainment platforms, it added.
The expansion is supported by IDA Ireland.
“Dublin is a globally recognised hub for technology expertise, and we are excited to have opened our new space here and expand our roster of leading technologists,” said Joe Inzerillo, EVP, Chief Product & Technology Officer at SiriusXM.
“Our team in Dublin will work alongside our global team of experts to continue to innovate and expand on our portfolio of audio entertainment and adtech products,” he added.
Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland, said that SiriusXM’s decision to expand in Ireland and hire 200 people is a strong vote of confidence in the country’s technology ecosystem.
“With access to a highly skilled talent pool, Ireland continues to be an attractive destination for innovative companies looking to invest in cutting-edge solutions,” he added.
