About The Position

Amazon 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.

Have you wanted an opportunity to develop the core wireless and networking for an advanced global telecom service spanning both space and terrestrial networks? Have you wondered what it takes to solve a multi-dimentional routing problem at global scale? Amazon LEO's SDN team will design, implement and operate LEO's network control plane. This service will enable a high throughput telecom service using a system of LEO satellites, customer terminals, gateways, cloud services, and terrestrial network infrastructure that connect into public and private networks.

This is an opportunity to be at the heart of the design, building and operation of a massive satellite constellation and terrestrial network. We interact with the satellite ground control services, the customer engagement systems and monitoring services to constantly fine-tune our network and deliver a high quality service to our customers. You will be responsible to build the best network for our customers.

The SDN Control Plane team is building the brain driving the LEO Network. Innovation is in our DNA and we tackle the problems presented by a dynamic network at global scale. It is our responsibility to ensure that the network works and our customer has a one-of-a-kind experience using our service.
