Dell is to locate a new Commerce Services R&D Centre in Dublin, resulting in the creation of more than 50 highly skilled jobs.

The company has begun recruiting for software engineers, technical programme managers and test engineers to help roll out the first phase of the new R&D centre.

The company said the team that will be located at the new centre will play a pivotal role in the evolution of Dell’s online offerings, making it easier for customers and partners to do business with Dell online.
