The job listings were discovered by The Information, which reports that at least four ads are live seeking applicants for an upcoming New York-based Amazon Go store.

The company is seeking a manager and assistant manager, as well as someone to manage learning and development. The company is also looking for a training lead associate.

The listings appeared late yesterday and Amazon has since confirmed their existence, saying that it will be eventually launching a store in New York. The job listings follow a very recent third store launch in Seattle, where a total of three Amazon Go locations are available.

Amazon is expected to also open additional Amazon Go stores in San Francisco and Chicago. Earlier this year, Recode claimed Amazon may be opening up to another half a dozen Amazon Go stores throughout the US by the end of 2018; it's unclear whether the New York location could be counted among them.
