Digital payments company PayPal has announced plans to add 100 new data science positions at its Dublin office to reinforce its commitment to the future of digital commerce.
A news release from IDA Ireland, the country’s agency for attracting foreign investment, announced the government is backing the expansion to create new roles for a growing AI team that will work closely with other PayPal technology hubs.
“As we shape the next generation of digital payments, the talent and innovation coming from Ireland will play a critical role. This expansion reflects both our confidence in the local ecosystem and our ambition to build an AI-driven, data-powered future that embeds trust and safety in every transaction. We are proud to deepen our commitment to Ireland and to invest in highly skilled roles that will help shape the future of PayPal globally,” PayPal’s Aaron J. Webster said in a statement.
The new jobs will span a range of specializations, including data science, AI engineering, software development, risk modeling and cybersecurity.
