OpenAI will create 250 new jobs in Ireland as it expands its European headquarters in Dublin, adding office capacity to support demand from users, developers and enterprise customers across Europe.
The company has leased 88,000 square feet of space in the Tropical Fruit Warehouse in Dublin. OpenAI currently employs around 100 people in Ireland and said the new roles will span engineering, legal, privacy, finance, human resources and user operations.
The expansion strengthens Dublin’s role as a major European base for global artificial intelligence and technology companies. The Irish capital already hosts regional headquarters for major technology groups including Meta, Apple and Alphabet, while AI startup Anthropic is also expanding locally.
OpenAI is the company behind ChatGPT and other generative AI tools used by consumers, developers and businesses. Its larger Dublin footprint reflects the company’s continued buildout of regional operations as AI services are adopted across enterprise and consumer markets. A bigger European base also gives OpenAI more local capacity for customer support, product operations and privacy and legal work at a time when companies deploying AI tools in the region are navigating European data protection requirements and emerging AI regulation.
