OpenAI to triple workforce at Dublin European headquarters to 350 - Reuters

OpenAI announced plans to more than triple its workforce at its European headquarters in Dublin to 350 employees over the next two years. The company currently employs over 100 people at the Dublin office, which serves as its European headquarters. The expansion will involve hiring 250 additional staff in engineering and support roles. The Dublin office is currently the company's only European office, according to the announcement.

The plan was reported by Reuters on July 27, 2026. The hiring is expected to take place over two years, though no quarterly targets were given.

OpenAI's Dublin office expansion is one of several recent moves by AI companies to bolster their European operations amid growing regulatory scrutiny. The company has not commented on whether the new hires will focus on compliance or on core product development.
