Open Amazon Jobs in Arlington Passes 300
Amazon is now listing more than 300 open positions in Arlington on its jobs website.
After hovering in the double digits for much of the year since hiring began in April, the number has been quickly increasing, though it includes both jobs at Amazon’s new, temporary HQ2 in Crystal City and at an existing office in Ballston.
The top job categories listed are mostly technical in nature, including:
- Software development (113 jobs)
- Sales, advertising and account management (54 jobs)
- Systems, quality and security engineering (28 jobs)
- Project/program/product management-technical (22 jobs)
- Solutions architect (22 jobs)
Amazon has repeatedly said it is hoping to hire 400 people to work at its new headquarters by the end of the year. There seems to be no shortage of interest — thousands attended an Amazon job fair in September and a poll found that three-quarters of IT workers in the region would consider jumping ship to Amazon.
