The company is looking to hire in a number of areas, such as software development, automotive technology and engineering.
US audio entertainment company SiriusXM has today (14 November) announced the creation of 200 new jobs in Ireland, to be filled over the next few years. The news was unveiled on Monday at the grand opening of the platform’s new Dublin-based technology centre. Headquartered in New York, SiriusXM was founded after a merger in 2008 and has more than 33m subscribers worldwide.
With continued support from IDA Ireland, the company is looking to hire roughly 200 professionals in the area of software development, automotive technology, engineering, adtech and data science analytics, many of whom will be responsible for the development of scalable software for SiriusXM’s streaming services and entertainment platforms.
Michael Lohan, the CEO of IDA Ireland, welcomed the news, stating, “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.”
This was echoed by Joe Inzerillo, the EVP and chief product and technology officer at SiriusXM, who noted the region’s suitability as a hub of innovation and expansion.
“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. 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 said.
Earlier this autumn, IDA Ireland also supported Cara Partners, a bulk pharmaceutical manufacturer, which announced a €130m investment into the Little Island facility in Cork and an expansion of the workforce.
