AOL creating 40 software engineering jobs in Dublin
AOL Ireland said today that it is planning to create 40 new software engineering roles over the next 12 months at its Dublin Development Centre.
The 40 new positions are within AOL Networks, a team that is leading the delivery of AOL’s programmatic advertising solutions for brands and publishers globally. AOL Networks brands include Adtech, Advertising.com, The AOL On Network, Be On and Pictela.
The open roles include junior and senior positions. Candidates, who need industry experience, will work with programming languages such as Java, Erlang and C++.
“AOL is a globally recognised brand and the choice of Dublin for these roles is a vote of confidence in the quality of the Irish workforce,” said Barry O’Leary, CEO, IDA Ireland. “This investment by AOL involves significant levels of innovation and will lead to the Dublin operation becoming a centre of excellence for a strategic growth segment for AOL.
“The research and development aspect of the investment will provide the basis for deeper engagement with research centres in Ireland and the successful completion of this project will result in the positioning of the Irish centre to drive the future direction of digital advertising at AOL.’’
“I am delighted to announce these 40 new positions as part of our global investment in programmatic advertising solutions,” said Aengus McClean, SVP, Global Advertising Technologies at AOL Ireland. “The new talent will help us expand our current suite of market leading products in display advertising into a comprehensive, world-class offering that extends across the whole digital ad ecosystem and will set a benchmark for others to follow.”
AOL has been based in Dublin for 16 years and currently employs 170 people. The Dublin office is the development engine for Europe and works alongside sister development centres in Palo Alto, Dulles, New York, Baltimore and Frankfurt.
AOL Ireland will be launching its 2014 Technology Graduate Programme in August 2013.
