Software Dev Engineer II, Software Defined Network Controller, Amazon LEO

Amazon Leo Network Architect

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.

Key job responsibilities:

Do you want to put code in space? 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 resource allocation problem at global scale?

For this role, you will:

• Take responsibility for designing and delivering a modern, flexible, scalable, high throughput, low latency network architecture
• Implement workflows to orchestrate on orbit payload activities
• Implement highly-available software that will drive networking control plane operation on physical and virtual 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

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 network and deliver a high quality service to our customers. You will be responsible to build the best network for our customers.

About the team:

The Software Defined Network (SDN) controller 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.

Our team will design, implement and operate the control plane that provides a high throughput telecom service comprised of Low Earth Orbit satellites, customer terminals, gateways, Cloud services and terrestrial network infrastructure that connects into public and private networks.
