Your Impact:
As OpenText accelerates its AI transformation, Ireland has become a key strategic R&D hub for advanced AI development, applied AI platforms, sovereign cloud, cybersecurity, and trusted enterprise innovation.
As part of this investment, we’re seeking a Senior AI Developer - a software developer contributing to AI application development with a strong focus on quality, delivery, and continuous improvement.
This role sits at the heart of both OpenText’s global AI strategy and the expansion of our Ireland R&D capability. You will contribute to building the next generation of sovereign AI for Europe, supporting the development of our EMEA Centre of Excellence for Agentic AI and Sovereign Cloud. Working alongside experienced developers on multi-agent AI orchestration in regulated environments, you’ll gain exposure to how enterprise AI is built and operated on a scale.
You’ll work across the AI stack - spanning platform, orchestration, and application layer, rather than operating within a silo, gaining hands-on experience contributing to enterprise-scale outcomes.
Crucially, this is not just about applying AI - it’s about learning how it is created. You will support the development of foundational intellectual property in agentic AI, data sovereignty, and cybersecurity, contributing to the technology and development standards that will power OpenText’s future.
You’re great at:
Implementing features, scripts, and integrations within AI applications.
Writing unit and integration tests.
Supporting debugging and issue resolution.
Maintaining clear and comprehensive technical documentation.
Collaborating with senior developers and cross-functional teams to deliver AI solutions.
Continuously learning and applying AI development practices, tools, and frameworks.
What you need to succeed:
Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical discipline
Minimum 3 years of experience in Software Development, DevOps, SRE or Cloud Engineering.
Minimum 1 year of experience in AI agent development, including exposure to multi-agent architectures and orchestration patterns.
Strong coding fundamentals.
Experience developing software using Python or similar programming languages.
Familiarity with Git, CI/CD and Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) practices.
Familiarity with AI application frameworks, LLM APIs and prompt engineering concepts.
Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
Strong problem-solving skills.
Strong collaboration skills with a willingness to learn from experienced developers.
