Description
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. Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) is developing secure, high-performance satellite communications technologies that support US National and International security and defense.
This role is responsible for designing, building out, and maintaining foundational software that extends Leo capabilities to US Government customers such as NASA, DoD, other National Security customers, and International Government customers. You will develop brand new software services for mission critical space safety and sustainability applications which will automatically coordinate with external systems and organizations rapidly, reliably, and at scale.
You'll work in a fast-paced, high-impact environment, tackling complex challenges in secure satellite communications. This role requires deep expertise in high-assurance, fault-tolerant software and proficiency in modern programming languages such as Rust. You'll collaborate closely with hardware, security, systems, and product teams to develop scalable, real-time solutions tailored for government customers.
This role is based in Redmond, WA, with U.S. relocation benefits available. Due to the sensitive nature of the ALG projects, onsite work is required five days a week.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a US Government security clearance of TS/SCI.
