The new positions span a number of the company’s divisions, including AWS, Alexa, Amazon Advertising, AmazonFashion, OpsTech and Amazon Fresh.
Amazon will invest $1.4 billion in expanded and new offices for these positions, which will include roles from cloud infrastructure architects and software engineers to data scientists, product managers and user experience designers.
The cities targeted are Dallas, Detroit, Denver, New York City, Phoenix and San Diego.
“We look forward to helping these communities grow their emerging tech workforce.”
Amazon acquired the the Lord & Taylor Fifth Avenue Building in Manhattan from WeWork for more than $1 billion, and will open a new 630,000-square-foot office there. This office space will be used for 2,000 of the new positions offered by Amazon.
This is in contrast to other major tech companies, like Google and Facebook, that are allowing employees to work remotely until July 2021.
