DENVER — Amazon will expand its Denver Tech Hub, creating 400 new high-tech jobs in fields like software and hardware engineering, cloud computing and advertising, the company announced Tuesday morning.
Amazon plans to open a new office in downtown Denver to accommodate the new positions. This comes in the wake of the company opening a new office in Boulder in the fall of 2018.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said he’s excited the company chose to add 400 new jobs here.
“We have a terrific workforce that continues to attract the ideas and businesses that thrive in a knowledge-based economy and we are a great place to do business,” he said. “Amazon’s current Colorado presence spans from distribution centers to robotics, corporate and operations. It’s wonderful to see their continued investment in our community.”
The new office, which will span 98,000 square feet, will be located in Invesco’s 1515 Wynkoop LEED Platinum building in Denver’s LoDo neighborhood.
Currently, Amazon has more than 350 employees in the Denver area and more than 3,500 full-time jobs in the state. It has invested more than $1.5 billion in the state since 2016.
