900 jobs to be added at new Boston office, says Amazon

At least 900 jobs will be added at a Boston office that's set to open next spring, said Amazon.

Amazon signed a lease on Sunday for a 14,000 sq meter space in a building along Fort Point Channel.

It is intending on hiring people to work on its Alexa voice-activated technology, logistics and other business lines as well.

The company also said that it has space in the Boston's Back Bay as well as in the Cambridge Kendall sqaure neighbourhoods.

Its new office is currently under construction near General Electric's new world headquarters.

General Electric has bought 2.5 acres in South Boston from Procter & Gamble as announced by it.
