About The Position

Amazon Leo is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Leo will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity. This role of a Software Engineer who will design, implement, and operate globally available distributed systems geared towards giving Leo the ability to operate within realistic virtual Leo environments at scale. You’ll build systems using the latest AWS technologies, leveraging best-in-industry software engineering practices. This role is for a Software Development Engineer who will build new cloud services and APIs that facilitates and orchestrates simulation of software on Leo devices such as satellites, ground gateways, and customer terminals. You will be building low-latency, highly scalable architecture that are critical to getting high quality internet service to customers. We build the cloud systems and APIs for constellation wide simulations for experimentation to inform business decisions and software running on Kuiper devices to run simulation to achieve high quality software ultimately deployed onto hardware.
