Amazon Planning Technology Expansion In Austin, Texas

Seattle-based Amazon.com is reportedly eyeing a new, technology center in Austin, Texas, as the company looks to broaden its access to technology talent, according to a report today. According to the Austin American Statesman, the local paper in Austin, Amazon is looking to hire around 200 technical staffers in Austin. Amazon has been a big employer nationwide as it has expanded its network of distribution centers, however, those hires have dwarfed expansion of the company's core technology development. The report cited "sources familiar with the company's plans" for details on the center, which has not yet been announced by Amazon.
