SoftwareDevelopmentEngineer,LeoAutopilot

Build the software that operates a constellation of thousands of satellites delivering internet to Earth. Leo AutoPilot is the orchestration platform through which every satellite command, lifecycle decision, and fault recovery flows — and it is scaling 10x. As a Software Development Engineer on the AutoPilot team, you will design and build the distributed, safety-critical infrastructure that keeps the Kuiper constellation healthy and serving customers. The problems are hard, the stakes are real, and the feedback loop is measured in satellite uptime and customer connectivity. 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. Key job responsibilities - Design, build, and operate distributed platform services that run 24/7 supporting a global satellite constellation - Own features end-to-end — from requirements and design doc through implementation, testing, deployment, and operational health - Participate in on-call rotation for mission-critical production systems; respond to and resolve operational issues with urgency and rigor - Collaborate with flight directors, and network operations teams to deliver solutions that work at the interface of software and hardware - Author and review technical design documents and contribute meaningfully to architecture decisions A day in the life Your morning might start with code reviews on open pull requests, followed by a design discussion with a satellite software engineer who needs a new capability built into the platform. In the afternoon you are deep in an implementation — building an API, working through a distributed systems problem, or writing tests for a service that cannot afford to fail. You collaborate regularly with flight directors and operations teams to translate real-world operational needs into platform require
