Amazon.com plans to open a major office in Austin, according to a report in the Austin American-Statesman.
The report, based on unnamed sources in the local real estate scene, said that the company could be bringing up to 250 tech jobs to work in a 76,000-square-foot office at Domain 7 at 11501 Alterra Parkway, but that a lease has not yet been signed. Once the ink is dry on the contract, according to the paper, Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) could open the new Austin office by the middle of 2015.
Seattle-based Amazon's interest in the Austin-area workforce is not new. It already has a small office in the area, and in April a report from technology industry news website Gigaom.com detailed how the company was beefing up its microprocessor design office in Austin, hiring many former workers from now-shuttered local chipmaker Calxeda Inc.
There are more than 20 Austin-area job openings that Amazon currently is hiring for in Austin. Job titles range from software development engineer to CPU architects to technical recruiters.
