Senior Software Dev Engineer, Simulation Foundations

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to revolutionize global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). As a Senior Software Dev Engineer in the Simulation Foundations team, you'll be at the forefront of bringing fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide.

The role focuses on designing, implementing, and operating globally available distributed systems that enable Kuiper to operate within realistic virtual environments at scale. You'll work with cutting-edge AWS technologies and follow industry-best software engineering practices to build critical infrastructure.

Your work will directly impact the development of cloud services and APIs that facilitate and orchestrate simulation of software on Kuiper devices, including satellites, ground gateways, and customer terminals. The systems you build will be crucial for delivering high-quality internet service to customers worldwide.

The team is responsible for developing cloud systems and APIs for constellation-wide simulations, enabling experimentation to inform business decisions and ensure high-quality software deployment on hardware. You'll be working in a dynamic environment where your expertise in distributed systems and cloud architecture will be essential.

This is an exceptional opportunity for experienced engineers who want to contribute to a project with global impact. You'll have the chance to mentor junior engineers, drive engineering excellence, and work with a team dedicated to solving complex technical challenges in space technology.

The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $151,300 to $261,500 per year, depending on location, plus comprehensive benefits including equity and sign-on payments. Join Project Kuiper to be part of a mission that's literally reaching for the stars while helping bridge the digital divide on Earth.
