“We’re proud to be creating more than 3,000 new jobs over the
next several years at our Boston Tech Hub,” said Rohit Prasad, Vice
President & Head Scientist for Alexa at Amazon. “Much of the
technology that makes Alexa smarter every day is invented in
Boston. Our teams here play a key role in driving Amazon’s
innovations – from Alexa to AWS to Amazon Pharmacy – and help us
keep delighting customers around the world. We look forward to
continuing to be a strong community partner, helping to grow and
diversify the local economy, and create new opportunities for
Boston and its residents.”
The 3,000 jobs that Amazon plans to create in its Boston Tech
Hub will include technology roles in software development,
Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, along with non-tech
corporate roles in product management, HR, finance, and more.
Amazon already employs more than 3,700 people in its Boston Tech
Hub.
“Our administration welcomes Amazon's continued efforts to
invest in our communities,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “This
expansion is significant and will create thousands more jobs for
our highly skilled workforce in different regions of the
Commonwealth.”
“By further expanding its Boston Tech Hub, Amazon is continuing
to create new economic opportunities in our City,” said Boston
Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “This expansion will grow our technology
workforce and support a strong pipeline of diverse talent and a
range of new jobs and opportunities for Boston residents."
To accommodate its growing teams in Boston, Amazon leased a new
17-story office tower located at One Boston Wharf Road in the
33-acre Boston Seaport project. Owned and developed by Boston-based
development company WS Development, the 630,000 square foot
location will include working space, innovation labs, and mixed-use
common areas for Amazon employees. Set for completion in 2024, One
Boston Wharf Road will also feature a community dog park,
ground-floor retail space and a new performing arts center for
Bostonians to enjoy with two live performance venues consisting of
a 500-seat theater and a 100-seat black box theater, which together
will add significant state-of-the-art capacity for the performing
arts in Boston.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with Amazon in
Boston’s Seaport, a neighborhood that has grown to serve
forward-thinking employers, residents, and retailers and that is
now a global hub of innovation and talent,” said Jeremy Sclar,
Chairman and CEO of WS Development.
This is Amazon’s second full-building lease in Boston’s Seaport
after securing a 430,000-square foot building at 111 Harbor Way.
Now under construction by WS Development, this office will be
completed later this year and will host 2,000 Amazon employees.
Using our Scale for Good in Massachusetts
Amazon continues to support the communities in which it operates
in Boston and Massachusetts. Amazon Future Engineer, our
comprehensive childhood-to-career program designed to inspire,
educate, and prepare children and young adults from
underrepresented and underserved communities to pursue computer
science, supports more than 20 schools in the Boston area, and more
than 60 across the state of Massachusetts. The program provides
local schools with high quality computer science education
curriculum and teacher professional development. Amazon has also
provided grants of more than $1.5 million to St. Mary’s Center to
support women, children and families in need facing
homelessness.
Since 2010, Amazon has created more than 20,000 jobs in
Massachusetts and invested more than $6.2 billion across the
Commonwealth, including infrastructure (from fulfillment centers to
retail locations to our Boston Tech Hub) and compensation. These
investments have contributed an additional $5.3 billion to the
Massachusetts economy and have helped create an additional 13,400
jobs on top of those that the company directly employs – from jobs
in construction and logistics to healthcare and professional
services. Additionally, more than 34,500 independent authors and
small and medium businesses in Massachusetts are currently growing
their businesses with Amazon.
