Anthropic offers EUR €355,000 AI roles in Dublin push

Anthropic has advertised 18 new roles for its Dublin office, with pay bands reaching €355,000 for some engineering positions, as the US artificial intelligence company builds its Irish operation and recruits senior staff from established technology groups.

The hiring round spans sales, product support, finance and engineering. Almost all roles offer six-figure salaries, and more than half list pay between €205,000 and €355,000.

Anthropic develops the Claude large language model. Led by chief executive Dario Amodei, it has been expanding its European presence, with Dublin and London positioned as key hubs.

The latest adverts suggest a focus on mid-level appointments rather than senior leadership. Several engineering roles carry the highest pay ranges. One staff engineer post lists €295,000 to €355,000, while two other engineer roles list €235,000 to €295,000. The job specifications indicate these are not management positions.

Sales hiring

Several roles are in the Dublin sales team, including account executive positions. A number list pay of €155,000 to €205,000. A team manager role is listed at €255,000 to €300,000.

The sales figures are described as "on target earnings", which typically combine base salary with commission and bonus payments.

Support roles list lower salary ranges than sales and engineering. Two product support positions offer €85,000 to €125,000, the lowest ranges among the new Dublin adverts.

Finance and tax

Anthropic is also recruiting for finance positions in Dublin. Newly listed roles include a European tax lead, with a salary range of €170,000 to €220,000.

The company's broader European expansion has combined business operations hiring with technical recruitment. Dublin has become a base for legal, finance, sales and support as Anthropic grows its regional footprint.

Dublin build-out

Anthropic has hired close to 85 people in Ireland in less than a year, drawing heavily from multinationals with Irish operations. Those hires include senior figures from Stripe, Meta, Google, Square and Etsy, who have taken leading roles in the Dublin office.

Ronan Davy, a director of Anthropic Ireland Limited, joined as associate general counsel in 2024. He previously served as chief compliance officer at Etsy and was promoted to head of regulatory legal in December.

Joe Morley joined as head of channels and alliances for Europe from Square, where he was head of EU. He previously held senior positions in Meta's Irish office.

Anthropic has also hired Liz West, formerly Google's head of recruiting for its cloud business, as head of international recruiting. Finance hires include Lesa McDonagh, who led finance and strategy for international sales at Salesforce's Dublin office and joined Anthropic as head of finance and strategy EMEA.

Dublin has also served as a base for building out legal functions. Recent hires include Aisling Keenan, a former director at Dropbox and counsel for Facebook; Broc Cocoman, who most recently led Stripe's global commercial legal team; and Niamh O'Connor, formerly a director and assistant general counsel at Etsy.

Anthropic has framed its European expansion around demand for Claude among businesses and consumers, as well as the region's regulatory and policy environment. In earlier corporate updates, it said it planned to create more than 100 roles across Europe-primarily in Dublin and London-spanning sales, engineering, research and business operations.

Guillaume Princen, Anthropic's head of EMEA, previously worked at Stripe, where he helped build and scale the payments group's European operations. He later served as chief executive of Mooncard, an expense management platform.

In a statement about the European expansion, Princen highlighted demand and hiring plans.

"Our expansion across Europe and the UK comes at a critical moment when businesses need advanced AI capabilities that also prioritize security and privacy," said Guillaume Princen, Head of EMEA at Anthropic. "European organizations are increasingly choosing Claude for its intelligence, speed, and industry-leading coding abilities, while consumers-particularly the tastemakers-are drawn to its certain je ne sais quoi in conversation and thoughtful design. To meet this remarkable demand, we're creating over 100 new roles this year dedicated to supporting our growing European customer base and ensuring our approach to responsible AI development continues to align with the region's high expectations."

Anthropic has also disclosed plans for additional European offices and a wider international expansion alongside growth in Dublin and London, with further recruitment expected across commercial, research and operational roles.
