The e-commerce giant's new Culver City offices will bring space for new jobs in a wide variety of roles, including creative, technical, marketing and legal.

"We are very excited about being a part of 100 years of movie and TV history at The Culver Studios," said Albert Cheng, head of Amazon Studios. "Most importantly, this new LA-based office will give us the much needed space for our team to work and grow so we can keep bringing Prime Members the very best in series and movies."
