Hiring steadily

Software Development Seattle, WA Watching 2,500 of ~779,575 employees Updated as of Jun 23

The read

Among 2,500 cached profiles observed, Amazon posted a net gain of 7 roles over 90 days, with operations absorbing the bulk of new hires — now the second-largest function behind sales. The company brought in manager-level talent across product, realty, sales, and GenAI programs, while two senior engineers (a Software Development Engineer 2 and a Principal Data Engineer) departed for Microsoft, alongside a Sr. Finance Manager and internal moves to AWS. Promotions clustered in research science and operations leadership, suggesting investment in technical depth and program-management capacity even as the senior engineering bench thins.
