Amazon on West Coast hiring spree
Amazon is looking to bolster the IT team in one of its expanding technology hubs.
Coinciding with the expansion of its San Diego Tech Hub, the online giant plans to open a new 85,000-sq.-ft. office in University Town Center in San Diego, California. The new facility will create more than 300 new high tech jobs in software development, machine learning, cloud computing, and digital entertainment. The new facility is expected to more than double its tech workforce in the area, according to Amazon.
The teams in San Diego are tasked with developing software systems that power AmazonFresh, Prime Now, Amazon Web Services (AWS), supply chain tech, and prevent fraud and abuse on Amazon. San Diego-based engineers and scientists recently played a key role in the launch of Whole Foods Market pickup and delivery via Prime Now, Alexa features for grocery shopping, and data-driven and machine learning innovations to further protect Amazon customers.
Additionally, the Amazon Game Studios team located in San Diego is in the process of creating a new game world that will harness AWS’s cloud computing services and Twitch to connect players worldwide.
Amazon’s San Diego Tech Hub is one of 17 tech labs outside of Seattle that employs over 17,500 people across North America. All associates are tasked with inventing and building new products and services for Amazon customers.
Together with its customer fulfillment facilities, Amazon has created more than 39,000 jobs in California. Since 2011, the company has invested over $19 billion in the state, including infrastructure and compensation to its employees, according to Amazon.
Amazon recently announced it was recruiting new talent for two other tech hubs in North America. In May, the online retailer said that it would create 2,000 new technology jobs focused on machine learning, speech science, cloud computing, and robotics engineering, coinciding with the expansion of its Boston Tech Hub.
In addition, Amazon also planned to fill 3,000 jobs focused on e-commerce technology, cloud computing, and machine learning at it expands its Vancouver Tech Hub in Canada.
