Amazon to Create 2,000 New Jobs in Texas

AUSTIN, TX – Amazon announced plans to create more than 2,000 corporate and tech jobs in Austin, Texas, over the next few years, further expanding the company’s Austin Tech Hub.

These new roles will support teams growing in Operations Technology, Amazon Retail, Amazon Business, and Amazon Web Services, and include positions such as senior data engineers, senior technical program managers, user experience designers, and financial analysts.

“Our continued investment in Austin is a testament to the amazing talent and amenities that this city has to offer,” said Doug Gray, site lead for Amazon’s Austin Tech Hub. “With more than 3,000 jobs already created and more than 1,000 corporate and technology roles currently available, we’re looking forward to continue offering exciting career opportunities to local residents.”

To accommodate its growth in Austin, Amazon has signed a lease for 330,000 square feet of space at a new building developed by Cousins Properties at The Domain in Austin. The new office space is expected to open for employees in early 2024. 

Amazon currently has more than 3,000 tech and corporate employees working in its Austin tech center. This latest investment will join Amazon’s three existing Austin locations in The Domain, which provides access to local shopping, dining, entertainment and more.

This investment in Amazon’s Austin Tech Hub is part of an expansion in several U.S. cities. The company plans to create 3,000 jobs in Austin, Chicago and Phoenix over the next few years. In the last 18 months, the company has also announced the expansion of its offices in Houston (150 new jobs) and Dallas (600 new jobs).
