Amazon is to add 500 new jobs in Ireland over the next two years. The roles include data centre technicians, software engineers and customer support staff among others. This investment is supported by the Dept of Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation through IDA Ireland.
Amazon’s first appointments in Ireland were data centre technicians and networking staff. Since then, Dublin has also been a location for engineering new technologies to support a number of Amazon’s businesses including its retail operations, devices and Amazon Web Services.
“We have already exceeded our previous talent growth targets for Ireland set in 2014, which is testament to the abundance of expertise we have been able to find in the country,” said Jeff Caselden, general manager, Amazon Ireland.
“We’ve been an active member of the Irish technology community for over a decade now and Ireland’s creative culture and the diverse set of technical skills we’re able to recruit for here, make it an ideal location for our rapidly expanding business. Some of our most exciting creations we have at Amazon stem from the work we do here for our customers.”
The highly skilled new roles currently being recruited include software development engineers, network development engineers, data centre engineering, support engineers, systems engineers, optical deployment engineers, security specialists, Big Data specialists, DevOps engineers, and a range of technical management positions.
Amazon employs 1,700 staff across sites in Dublin and Cork.
