AOL said today it is to create a further 20 new software engineering jobs at its development centre in Dublin.
The majority of the new positions are with AOL’s media technology division and will focus on developing its global media channels which includes over 80 individual brands.
The jobs are for experienced professional software engineers and are suitable for candidates with Java qualifications.
“This is a very exciting time for AOL, and particularly for our expanding operations in Dublin. We have a very clear goal to become the leading web services company in the world, and our Irish operations will play a crucial role in our success,” said Aengus McClean, head of AOL global operations.
AOL has operated from Dublin for the past 10 years and employs 133 people. Dublin is its development base for Europe and alongside centres in San Francisco, Dulles, New York, Bangalore and Frankfurt.
The jobs are in addition to the 50 positions announced in June of this year.
The company recently announced it is moving to new headquarters in Dublin city centre from its base at Citywest.
