Frontend Engineer II, Ground Control Console

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites, aimed at providing high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Frontend Engineer II on the Ground Control Console team, you'll play a crucial role in developing the operational tooling systems that power this revolutionary space mission.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of frontend development and space technology. You'll be responsible for building and maintaining the frontend tooling system used across Kuiper for critical mission functions, including launch operations, on-orbit demonstrations, and constellation automation. The role requires expertise in frontend technologies like JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, combined with a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals.

Working with cross-functional teams across ground and space systems, you'll create performant applications that ensure the successful execution of mission objectives. The role demands attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to maintain composure under pressure. While space systems experience is beneficial, it's not mandatory - what's essential is your capability to design and implement solutions for complex systems.

The compensation package is competitive, ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location, plus additional benefits including medical coverage and financial benefits. The position is based in Redmond, WA, and due to export control requirements, candidates must be U.S. citizens, nationals, permanent residents, or legally admitted refugees/asylees.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a frontend developer looking to make a meaningful impact on a project that aims to bridge the digital divide globally. You'll be part of a team that prioritizes scalability, reliability, and performance, working on systems that are crucial to the mission's success. The role offers the perfect blend of technical challenges, mission-critical responsibility, and the chance to contribute to a project with significant societal impact.
