Amazon is looking to hire 55,000 staff globally for corporate jobs and roles in robotics, research and engineering.
About 40,000 jobs will be in the US, with 2,500 in the UK and the remainder mostly in India, Germany and Japan, reports BBC.

Chief executive Andy Jassy said Amazon needed more staff to keep pace with expansion of its retail, cloud computing and advertising arms.

“Amazon continues to grow quickly, and relentlessly invent across many areas,” he said in a statement.
