Amazon.com opened its virtual doors on the World Wide Web in July 1995 and seeks to be Earth's most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online. Amazon.com is much more than an online retailer. Technology is the backbone of our business, with sophisticated and robust high performance distributed systems enabling us to provide a superb customer experience globally 24x7. Our technology teams have built a world class e-commerce platform, upon which Amazon has launched numerous stores both for our-selves and for our partners around the world.

Opened in Iasi, since 2005, Amazon Development Center in Romania works on developing new and innovative web site features to help Amazon's customers find and discover anything they want to buy online, along with building tools and technologies that enable Amazon Retail and other Amazon web sites to merchandise effectively across multiple channels.
