Amazon is in the process of laying off 18,000 employees, the largest job cuts in the company's 29-year history. But even as the internet giant jettisons staff amid a slowing economy, Amazon is still seeking to add hundreds of new workers to its payroll and expand in certain businesses.

The company has posted new job listings, or updated existing job listings, in several select areas of the business in the weeks since it announced the layoffs earlier this month. These groups include the Ring doorbell business, as well as Amazon's entertainment business and its pharmacy business, with job openings advertised for engineers, supply chain managers, and sales representatives among others.
