Role overview
As OpenText accelerates its AI transformation, we are investing in Ireland as a strategic R center for advanced AI engineering, applied AI platforms, sovereign cloud, cybersecurity, and trusted enterprise innovation.
We’re looking to welcome a Principal AI Developer, who will be a senior technical leader responsible for designing and delivering scalable, production-grade AI systems with strong ownership of quality and performance.
This role is central to OpenText’s AI transformation and to the growth of OpenText’s Ireland R capability. You’ll help build the next generation of sovereign AI for Europe and play a founding role in standing up OpenText’s EMEA Centre of Excellence for Agentic AI& Sovereign Cloud, working at the forefront of multi-agent AI orchestration in regulated environments.
You’ll own delivery end-to-end and work across the full AI stack rather than within a siloed team, giving you a direct line to enterprise-scale impact. Just as importantly, this is real ownership of foundational IP, not just services: you’ll contribute to core IP in agentic AI, data sovereignty, and cybersecurity, helping shape the technology rather than simply deploying existing tools.

- Leading technical design and architecture decisions
- Ensuring systems are scalable, observable, and cost-efficient
- Owning production readiness: monitoring, logging, incident response
- Mentoring junior engineers and enforce engineering standards
- Implementing LLMOps/MLOps practices (CI/CD, versioning, evaluation)
- Optimizing systems for latency, throughput, and cost
Basic qualifications
- 6-8 years of experience with distributed systems and cloud platforms
- Expertise in AI/ML frameworks, APIs, and production deployment
- Experience with vector DBs, retrieval systems, or LLM frameworks
- Strong debugging, performance tuning, and system design skills
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or related technical discipline.
