OpenAI announced 200 additional jobs in Dublin and a new Applied AI Lab at its European Union headquarters on Monday, bringing its hiring commitment in Ireland to at least 450 roles. The company currently employs over 120 people in Ireland.

The lab will draw on engineers who help customers develop and deploy AI applications, alongside solutions and privacy engineers. The hiring plan also includes sales and user operations positions.

The additional jobs build on 250 roles announced in July 2026. They will be based at Tropical Fruit Warehouse, which OpenAI plans to occupy from December 2026.
