Open Amazon Jobs in Arlington Passes 300

Amazon is now listing more than 300 open positions in Arlington on its jobs website.

The top job categories listed are mostly technical in nature, including:

  • 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)
