Amazon Eyes Alexa Team Hiring In Santa Barbara

Amazon is in a major expansion in Santa Barbara, with plans to hire as many as 300 people in a new, three story downtown location, all working as part of the Amazon Alexa team. Amazon's new space, at 1001 State Street, is expected to draw workers from UC Santa Barbara, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and other local universities, as well as from the region's existing supply of technology companies. Amazon's Alexa technology powers the many, voice-powered devices that connect into Amazon. (Image: some of the devices powered by Amazon Alexa).
