The nation’s lone satellite radio operation is moving forward with a new technology facility in Ireland’s biggest city. As SiriusXM sees it, Dublin-based employees are expected to play a critical role in the audio entertainment company’s continued digital transformation, and will function as a center of excellence for SiriusXM’s Product and Technology organization.
SiriusXM is supported by the Irish government through IDA Ireland, and its Dublin workforce will primarily focus on software development, automotive technology and engineering, adtech, data science, and analytics. Talent based in the new technology hub will be charged with developing and implementing best-in-class standards for high-quality, scalable software deliveries for SiriusXM’s streaming and in-vehicle audio entertainment platforms.

He said, “Our team had the pleasure of meeting the SiriusXM management team recently, and I am pleased that they are opening a new Technology Centre of Excellence in Dublin and availing of the wealth of professional talent available here.”
Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland, said, “SiriusXM’s decision to establish a new Technology Centre of Excellence in Dublin highlights Ireland’s attractiveness as a destination for global expansion. This investment is a testament to Ireland’s pro enterprise economy and to the specialised and skilled workforce that we have in Dublin and across the country. I’d like to wish SiriusXM every success in their expansion into Ireland.’’
