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.
About the Team
Builder Operations, Systems & Services (BOTS) owns the developer experience, CI/CD infrastructure, and production services that power satellite software delivery. We build the platforms that every engineer depends on to compile, test, sign, and deploy software to orbit and ground — at scale, with five-nines availability.
About the Role
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer with experience designing and operating large-scale backend services, a strong security mindset, and deep knowledge of AWS cloud infrastructure (IAM, Lambda, CloudWatch, API Gateway, S3). Experience with Agentic AI development (Bedrock, AgentCore) and proficiency in TypeScript, Python, or GoLang is highly valued.
You will participate in all phases of software development — from requirements through implementation, test, and operations. This includes designing scalable solutions using the AWS stack, partnering with embedded software systems, and architecting software distribution and deployment infrastructure for satellites. You must be comfortable operating in ambiguity, designing flexible solutions to novel problems, and thriving in an open, collaborative environment.
Basic Qualifications:
Experience designing and operating large-scale distributed backend services
Deep understanding of AWS cloud services and infrastructure patterns
Proficiency in at least one of: TypeScript, Python, or GoLang
