Description For Senior Systems Dev Engineer, Kuiper Enterprise Technology

Project Kuiper, an ambitious Amazon initiative, is building a constellation of over 3,000 satellites to provide global broadband access. As a Senior Systems Dev Engineer in the Kuiper Enterprise Technology team, you'll play a crucial role in developing the infrastructure that powers this revolutionary space technology program. The position combines DevOps expertise with cloud architecture, focusing on AWS technologies to create scalable solutions.

You'll work in a hybrid environment with a diverse team of system developers, SDEs, and system engineers, supporting Kuiper's enterprise applications. The role offers a unique opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking project from its early stages, directly impacting the future of global internet connectivity. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing critical infrastructure components, managing AWS resources, and ensuring smooth operations of the entire system.

The position requires expertise in cloud technologies, particularly AWS services, and strong programming skills in languages like Python, Go, or Java. You'll be working with cutting-edge technologies while building and maintaining the backbone of a satellite production system. The role combines technical leadership with hands-on development, requiring both strategic thinking and practical implementation skills.

Amazon offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and the chance to work on technology that will literally reach space. The team culture emphasizes Amazon's Leadership Principles, particularly customer obsession, ownership, and innovation. As a U.S. citizen (required due to export control regulations), you'll be part of a team that's making history in space technology while solving complex technical challenges.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a senior engineer who wants to combine cloud infrastructure expertise with space technology, working on a project that aims to bring internet connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. The role offers significant technical challenges, growth opportunities, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on global internet accessibility.
