Ericsson plans to hire 250 people at its current research and development center in Ireland to help develop cloud native products designed to support its 5G products and services.

The infrastructure giant said the jobs will be at its campus in Athlone, Ireland. The open positions include software developers, data scientists, architects, and cloud and mobile communication engineers. Roles will be for cloud native engineers that have specific experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, and HCP, and core programming languages such as Java, C++, JavaScript, Python, and Golang.

That Ireland facility currently employs 1,200 people and is Ericsson’s global research and development headquarters for its Digital Services Operations Support Systems (OSS). The facility develops platforms for Ericsson’s OSS and cloud radio access network (RAN) portfolio. Ericsson employs a further 200 people at its base in Dublin.

The new hiring plan is supported by the Irish government’s IDA Ireland project, which is focused on driving foreign investment into the country. Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced last year that it was hiring 150 new employees at its sites in Galway and Kildare, Ireland. Those positions were focused on cybersecurity, software development, global research and development, and cloud consulting.

Ericsson’s move comes on the heels of a broader corporate restructuring that was announced as part of its most recent earnings release. That move altered leadership positions and merged some of its operating units with a focus on boosting Ericsson’s presence in the cloud and enterprise markets.
