About Amazon

Amazon is an American multinational technology and retail company headquartered in Seattle, Washington, USA. Founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos as an online bookstore, it has since expanded into e-commerce, cloud computing through Amazon Web Services (AWS), digital streaming, advertising, consumer hardware (Kindle, Echo, Fire TV), and artificial intelligence (Alexa). It is one of the largest internet companies in the world by revenue and one of the largest private employers globally, with over 1.5 million employees worldwide across retail operations, fulfilment, and technology businesses. In India, Amazon operates major engineering centres in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Gurugram, and Pune, hiring across AWS, Alexa, Prime Video, retail technology, and Amazon.com businesses. Indian fresher hiring is concentrated in SDE-1 and SDE-intern roles, with structured campus and off-campus pipelines for software-engineering, data-engineering, and applied-science positions. Notable Indian initiatives include Amazon India's marketplace business, Prime Video India originals, the Hyderabad-based Alexa Shopping group, and AWS regional infrastructure. The company also runs the Amazon Future Engineer programme for computer-science students, and recurring early-career hackathons (Amazon WoW, HackOn) that double as fresher hiring funnels.
