PressReader has officially opened it new office in Dubiln, where it plans to fill 65 jobs.
The Canadian company is seeking to hire a team of developers to round out its machine-learning capabilities.
PressReader is a global platform that allows people to read, share and talk about stories from over 7,000 publications online or via an app.
Speaking of the company’s plans for the new office Alex Kroogman, CEO, PressReader, said: “We see a lot of great things happening in the tech sector in Ireland and we’re excited to be another large force that’s pushing the industry forward. Now that we’ve opened our Dublin office we’re starting our search for top Irish tech talent. Our first goal is to hire developers to help build and enhance PressReader’s machine learning capabilities. Initiatives like CETA, the Canada-EU trade agreement, make it possible for us to find the very best people to fill these high-skill positions and compete on a global scale.”
