Amazon Alexa senior vice-president and head scientist Rohit Prasad said: “We’ve created more than 4,500 corporate and tech jobs at our Boston Tech Hub, and we’re excited to welcome 2,000 of these employees to their new office.

“Our teams in the Boston area are working on exciting innovations for our global customers—from artificial intelligence and machine learning to Cloud computing and robotics engineering.

“We’d like to thank the city of Boston, and Massachusetts, for giving us the opportunity to build the future here. We look forward to continuing to invest and create more jobs across the Commonwealth.”

Amazon has created more than 20,000 jobs in Massachusetts and invested more than $10bn across the Commonwealth since 2010.

In March this year, the company announced an investment of more than $100m to develop its first fulfilment centre in Istanbul, Turkey.

The facility is scheduled to open later this year and is intended to address an increase in customer demand in the country.

It is expected to generate 1,000 local jobs during its first year of operations.
