Zinkworks

An Irish technology company specialising in network automation, Zinkworks has 13 open positions in Ireland. Zinkworks develops AI-driven network automation software that helps telecommunications companies and enterprises manage their network infrastructure more efficiently using intent-based networking and closed-loop automation.

Hiring covers software engineering, DevOps, AI/ML, testing, and technical consulting roles. Zinkworks' team works on cutting-edge network automation platforms that use artificial intelligence to predict, detect, and resolve network issues before they impact customers.

The seniority profile includes mid-level and senior software engineering and AI positions, reflecting the technically demanding nature of network automation work. Key skills include Python, Java, Kubernetes, machine learning, network protocols (5G, NFV, SDN), and CI/CD pipelines.

Zinkworks operates in a niche but rapidly growing market — as telecommunications networks become more complex (5G, edge computing, network slicing), the need for AI-driven automation to manage this complexity is accelerating. The company's solutions help telecoms operators reduce costs, improve service quality, and accelerate the deployment of new services.

As an Irish-founded company, Zinkworks offers something different from the multinational tech employers that dominate the Dublin market. Employees work closely with company leadership, contribute directly to product strategy, and see the impact of their work on the company's growth.

For software engineers, DevOps specialists, and AI/ML professionals in Ireland, Zinkworks offers careers at the intersection of AI and telecommunications with a growing Irish technology company. The company provides competitive compensation, the intellectual challenge of working on complex network automation problems, and the opportunity to help build a company from its growth stage. Zinkworks's focus on a specific, high-value technical domain means employees develop deep expertise that is highly valued in the global telecoms and network automation market.
