Sr. Software Dev Engineer, Leo OISL

Description

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. Amazon 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.

You'll architect and deliver mission-critical tools and services that power network operations for our dynamic space-based laser link infrastructure. Working in an environment where ambiguity meets innovation, you'll transform complex, evolving requirements into elegant, scalable solutions while mentoring and leading a team of engineers to execute your vision.

Design and develop sophisticated multi-layered services that collect real-time telemetry from our satellite constellation, analyze network topology, and intelligently correlate data to identify and resolve faults. Your systems will automatically trigger remediation runbooks, elevate issues to appropriate teams, and leverage machine learning and generative AI to detect anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and predict customer impact before it occurs.

You bring proven experience architecting and delivering complex, distributed systems in production environments. As a senior software engineer, you possess both the technical depth to build clean, maintainable back-end services and the product sensibility to create intuitive, actionable visualizations that operators can trust and understand at a glance.

You excel at breaking down ambitious technical roadmaps into actionable milestones and have a track record of successfully onboarding and elevating junior engineers. Deep expertise in distributed cloud services and infrastructure-as-code principles is essential, as is the ability to thrive in high-ownership, high-accountability environments where your decisions directly impact mission success.

Your work will be the operational nervous system of our space network—enabling seamless connectivity, ensuring reliability, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in space-based communications.

• Lead end-to-end automation initiatives as a team leader, developing sophisticated tools and services that address complex network operations, debugging, and troubleshooting challenges while guiding team efforts and priorities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze network architecture, stakeholder requirements, and customer needs; architect and implement software solutions that deliver measurable business value.
• Design and implement AI/ML solutions utilizing AWS services to enhance space network operations and problem resolution.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship as a team leader to software/network engineers through effective task delegation, project management, and onboarding programs to optimize team productivity and development cycles.

As Senior Software Engineer, you begin your day by reviewing satellite network data, identifying anomalies, and formulating mitigation plans. You then analyze the performance metrics of the team's software tools/services, using these insights to guide your decision-making. Drawing on your deep expertise in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and Dev Ops, you lead cross-functional discussions to collaboratively design scalable architectures that automate data collection, analysis, and issue resolution.

Throughout the day, you mentor junior engineers, align stakeholders, update project plans, showcasing your technical prowess, problem solving skills, exceptional leadership to ensure the reliable operation of complex space satellite network.
