Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. 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-dimensional 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. Key job responsibilities - Take responsibility for designing and delivering a modern, flexible, scalable, high throughput, low latency network architecture - Implement Routing and Forwarding, Traffic Engineering, and SDN technologies to deliver the best-in-class broadband network services for our customers - Implement highly-available software that will drive networking control plane operation on physical and remote nodes - Define and automate processes used for software development, implementation, testing, and maintenance - Provide operational excellence for control plane services, to including enabling tools and definition/refinement of operational processes Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. A day in the life 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 ne
