SINGAPORE: Amazon Web Services (AWS) is expanding its workforce in Singapore, with more than 100 job openings across its cloud business and corporate functions.
The new hires – including in software engineering, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), data science and solutions architecture – will add to the 2,500 workers it currently employs here, the technology giant said at the opening of its new 360,000 sq ft office at IOI Central Boulevard Towers in Marina Bay.
The new AWS Asia-Pacific Hub is part of the firm’s plans to invest an additional S$12bil in cloud infrastructure in Singapore from 2024 to 2028. The firm declined to commit to a hiring timeline. The investment is one of the largest in AI in Singapore, in addition to the government’s S$1bil investment in AI announced during Budget 2024.
The new investment will bring the total sum poured in by AWS in Singapore to S$23.5bil since it first set up shop here in 2010. Speaking at the hub’s official opening on Feb 12, AWS Asean managing director Jeff Johnson said the new sprawling space was designed with collaboration in mind. — The Straits Times/ANN
