Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. LSA (Leo Security Assurance) encompasses key functions that support compliance, audit readiness, and operational efficiency. It ensures compliance through scalable programs, tested controls, and continuous monitoring, while embedding compliance into services. It enables successful audits by supporting audit planning, evidence management, and stakeholder engagement. Additionally, it enhances efficiency through GRC tooling, workflow automation, and scalable reporting to support ongoing assurance activities. Our team is at the forefront of enabling security and compliance at scale across Amazon Leo. We work directly with Leo’s service teams to embed security, governance, and audit-readiness into their products and operations. As a Software Engineer on the LSA team, you will play a pivotal role in scaling Leo’s Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) capabilities through tooling, automation, and data integration. We are a multidisciplinary group of security specialists, software engineers, and program managers focused on solving complex compliance challenges. Our mission is to design and implement solutions that meet the stringent expectations of external regulators and our most security-conscious customers. This role is open for Redmond, WA and Arlington, VA locations.
