In a posting on the job networking and employer assessment site Glassdoor, Amazon is recruiting for a senior development manager for its VR program that requires 15-plus years of "relevant engineering experience" and a proven team-building track record.
The post, which was first reported by VR-news site Upload, notes that "the future will not be limited to passive 2D experiences. The (Amazon) Virtual Reality team will explore and create the platform and interface for immersive storytelling. This will include an ingestion and playback platform for Virtual Reality experiences."
Amazon may well start creating content in VR, but given the company's core mission, it is as likely to use the technology to enhance the purchasing experience.
"Amazon ultimately is all about shopping, getting you into their (online) store and keeping you there," says Peter Csathy, CEO of business consulting and legal services firm Manatt Digital Media. "The promise of VR immersive shopping is very significant and potentially massive, and Amazon can play in a way no one else can.
Besides, said Csathy, Amazon may want to offer content that complements all the VR-related gear for sale.
