Amazon makes Boston tech jobs move

Amazon is set to expand its Boston Tech Hub and create an additional 2,000 jobs in fields including machine learning, speech science, cloud computing and robotics engineering. 

The e-commerce giant’s teams based in the area focus mainly on Alexa, Amazon Web Services and Audible. To accommodate the new job creation, the company will be expanding into 430,000 square feet in WS Development’s Seaport project – a 7.6 million square feet development at the waterfront of Boston – and plans to open the doors of its new office in 2021.
