One of Amazon’s most senior engineers has resigned in protest after staff who raised concerns over warehouse working conditions were fired.

Tim Bray, who was a vice president and distinguished engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS), went public after leaving his role on Friday (1 May), forfeiting an estimated $1m (pre-tax) in shares and salary.
