Description For Senior Systems Dev Engineer, Kuiper Enterprise Technology

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of more than 3,000 satellites in low Earth orbit. The Enterprise Technology team plays a crucial role in building the software, services, and infrastructure that enable the program to design and engineer future LEO Satellite-based broadband services.

As a Senior Systems Dev Engineer, you'll join a high-output hybrid team of Sys Devs, SDEs, and Sys Engineers supporting Kuiper's enterprise applications. You'll work directly with key business and tech stakeholders to design and implement service infrastructure meeting satellite production needs. This position offers a unique opportunity to be an instrumental member of a team supporting a business goal from the beginning.

The role involves working with AWS technology, managing cloud infrastructure, and driving operational excellence. You'll be responsible for provisioning and managing AWS infrastructure, designing cloud environments, and implementing automation solutions. The position requires expertise in AWS services, infrastructure as code, and strong programming skills.

Amazon offers competitive compensation ranging from $136,100 to $235,200 per year based on location, plus equity and comprehensive benefits. The company strongly values diversity and inclusion, operating under 16 Leadership Principles that emphasize seeking diverse perspectives and earning trust.

This role requires US citizenship due to export control requirements and offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology that will help bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide. Join a team that combines technical excellence with meaningful impact, supported by Amazon's robust infrastructure and resources.
