Amazon set to create 2,500+ corporate and tech jobs in California

Amazon has announced plans to create more than 2,500 corporate and technology jobs over the coming years in multiple cities across California.

It will expand its Tech Hubs in San Diego and the Los Angeles area, including Irvine and Santa Monica, as it seeks to recruit local talent beyond its headquarter locations in Washington state’s Puget Sound region and Arlington, Virginia.

“Communities across California have welcomed Amazon over the past decade and have seen firsthand how our investments can unlock new opportunities for their neighbours and local economies. We’ve created more than 170,000 jobs across the state and are committed to continue investing here,” says Holly Sullivan, Amazon’s Vice President of Worldwide Economic Development.

“These 2,500 new jobs include roles building cloud infrastructure, improving the Alexa experience, and designing cutting edge video games. They’re a fantastic opportunity for Californians of all backgrounds to join Amazon and build a successful career.”

Amazon’s expansions in California will support various teams across the company, including retail, Amazon Games, Amazon Web Services, and operations.

“Economic development, especially job creation, is critical to our city’s growth. Amazon’s expansion of its tech hub in Irvine is a testament to the fantastic talent pool and high quality of life our city has to offer,” says Farrah Khan, Mayor of Irvine.

“Investments like Amazon’s act as a vote of confidence for Irvine and these 800 new corporate and tech roles will continue to unlock economic opportunity for our community.”

"Job creation and economic development is essential to a sustainable and vibrant city,” says San Diego City Council member Chris Cate.

“I am excited to see how Amazon's expanded presence in San Diego will drive new investments in our region and bring 700 new tech and corporate jobs, boosting economic growth for years to come.”

“San Diego is the perfect place for Amazon to bring cutting edge innovation and technology to reality."
