About The Position

Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver
fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing
networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and
government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in
locations without reliable connectivity.

Are you passionate about building and operating networks at unprecedented scale?
Join our Terrestrial Network team to shape the future of a global Service
Provider network supporting 3,236 satellites and terrestrial infrastructure.
You'll be at the forefront of ensuring reliable connectivity that directly
impacts customer experience across our constellation.

You'll work at the intersection of space-based and terrestrial networking,
tackling unique challenges that few engineers ever encounter. Your day might
include analyzing network telemetry from thousands of satellites, collaborating
with hardware teams on next-generation designs, or developing automation that
prevents issues before they impact customers. You'll have the autonomy to
identify problems, propose solutions, and drive them to completion while working
with talented engineers across the organization.

Our Terrestrial Network team designs, builds, and operates the earthbound
portion of one of the most complex networks in existence - connecting ground
stations, data centers, and a constellation of satellites to deliver seamless
connectivity. We're a collaborative group of curious problem-solvers who thrive
on technical challenges and are committed to operational excellence. We value
innovation, encourage experimentation, and believe the best solutions come from
diverse perspectives and rigorous technical debate.
