Amazon

In Romania, Amazon presence was first established in 2005, in Iasi, by opening Amazon’s Development Center, Amazon’s first R&D facility in Eastern Europe. It plays a major role in the city’s burgeoning tech industry, employing skilled experts who are inventing exciting new technologies in the fields of Cloud Computing, Information Security, Machine Learning and Data Analysis. The Center hosts Compliance Operations, Retail Business Support, Creative Ops & Production, Imaging Support, Customer Behavior Analytics, Information Security & Privacy, Compliance Tech, AWS Global IT and Content Creation Tools. In 2017 a second corporate presence was established in Romania’s capital. The Amazon Development Center Bucharest is home to Speech and Language Solutions for Alexa, Alexa Product Testing, as well as Amazon Web Services (AWS) teams working on key technologies for the Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2) service. In 2021, Amazon Development Center’s story continues with the latest office in Timisoara, which focuses on the Amazon Devices line, (including Ring security devices) and Amazon Compliance Operations.

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. Amazon strives to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, Earth’s best employer, and Earth’s safest place to work. Although Amazon’s business has evolved over the years, one constant is the passion for delighting customers which drives constant innovation on their behalf. Working backward from customer needs, Amazon teams are constantly seeking to improve their services, add benefits and features, and invent new products.
