About us

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

    His job is similar to a modern-day Willy Wonka 🍫 Shane started at Amazon 13 years ago as a seasonal employee. Now he: - works in a team that impacts thousands of people - makes six figures a year - and gets to give people a behind-the-scenes look at Amazon We met Shane while filming the Career Ladder at Amazon’s biggest innovation event of the year — one of many jobs I had to guess that day. I thought it’d be easy since I already know the company… but I was so wrong. Amazon’s job range is wild — from robotics and fulfilment centres to solar panels. I can’t wait to share more about the incredible jobs that make Amazon work. But in the meantime… Can you guess what Shane does before the time runs out? AD Amazon #DeliveringTheFuture

    New multi-year, strategic partnership with OpenAI will provide our industry-leading infrastructure for them to run and scale ChatGPT inference, training, and agentic AI workloads. Allows OpenAI to leverage our unusual experience running large-scale AI infrastructure securely, reliably, and at scale. OpenAI will start using AWS’s infrastructure immediately and we expect to have all of the capacity deployed before end of next year-- with the ability to expand in 2027 and beyond. https://lnkd.in/gBKEPqg2

    Project Rainier is now online—the world’s most powerful operational AI supercomputer. Built hand-in-glove with Anthropic, Project Rainier features nearly 500,000 Trainium 2 chips, delivering over five times the compute power Anthropic used for its previous models. Anthropic is already using Project Rainier to train and run inference for Claude, its industry-leading AI model. By year’s end, Claude is expected to be running on more than 1 million Trainium 2 chips across Anthropic’s direct usage and Amazon Bedrock. Watch the video below for a behind-the-scenes look at how a Project Rainier UltraServer comes to life—from delivery to full deployment.

    Our new Echo Dot Max and redesigned Echo Studio, purpose-built for Alexa+, are available starting today. Both sound incredible. Echo Studio is 40% smaller but still fills the room with rich, immersive sound and Dolby Atmos support. Echo Dot Max brings our first two-way speaker system to Dot, with nearly 3× the bass of the last generation. They even adapt to your space — analyzing your room’s acoustics and tuning automatically. And under the hood, our custom AZ3 silicon powers the most advanced Echo experience yet. I’m so grateful to the teams who obsessed every detail to bring these to life. Can’t wait for you to try them. https://lnkd.in/gW_BiXVS

    I’m delighted to announce Amazon’s inaugural 2025 Culture and Creative Industries Impact Report, which underscores how we are helping bring local stories to global stages. In addition to my day to day responsibilities, I’m an avid reader -- I always have my Kindle on me. I’ve also engaged in the creative industries as a novice movie producer, investing in films made by artists I respect who want to tell important stories. I’ve witnessed firsthand how digital innovation empowers the creative community across creation, distribution, and consumption, globally.
