DENVER: Amazon has announced plans to enlarge its Denver tech appearance by producing hundreds of new jobs and adding a downtown Denver office.
The Seattle-based company will add 400 high-tech jobs in areas like software engineering, hardware engineering, cloud computing, and promotion.
The new jobs will be in fields like hardware and software technology, cloud computing and advertising.
“We’re excited to continue to grow and invest in the Denver area,” said Dave Wood, site lead for Amazon’s Denver tech hub, in a declaration. “Our new office will offer our teams the convenience of a downtown location with an array of outdoor adventures just up the road.”
With its current customer fulfillment and retail facilities, Amazon said its currently established 3,500 full-time jobs across the state and invested more than $1.5 billion over the last three years.
“I’m so excited that Amazon is adding 400 more jobs in Colorado. We have a terrific workforce that continues to attract the ideas and businesses that thrive in a knowledge-based economy, and we are a great place to do business,” Governor Jared Polis(D-Colorado) said. “Amazon’s current Colorado presence spans from distribution centers to robotics, corporate and operations. It’s wonderful to see their continued investment in our community.”
The Denver office will be a part of a community of 17 development centers across North America, along with the company’s most essential headquarters in Seattle, Washington, and its future next headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. These hubs use more than 20,000 in total, based on Amazon.
