Amazon Is Apparently Hiring An Esports Manager

An interesting job posting popped up on LinkedIn this week as Amazon is looking to hire an Esports Manager for the company. The job will be working with Twitch, but by the way the job is described, it sounds like it will be more of an Amazon position rather than one for Twitch directly. You can read the listing here, and we have the qualifications for you below. It looks like an interesting gig, and we're a little curious how it will play into Amazon's gaming side of things in the long run. But if you're looking for a job in gaming, this is a cool opportunity.
