Software Dev Engineer II, Software Defined Network Control Plane, Project Kuiper

Project Kuiper is an ambitious initiative by Amazon to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites aimed at providing high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Software Dev Engineer II on the SDN Control Plane team, you'll be at the forefront of developing the core wireless and networking infrastructure for this advanced global telecom service.

The role involves tackling complex multi-dimensional resource allocation problems at a global scale. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing the network control plane that enables high-throughput telecom services across a sophisticated system of LEO satellites, customer terminals, gateways, cloud services, and terrestrial network infrastructure.

The SDN Control Plane team is building the brain that drives the Kuiper Network. Innovation is fundamental to the team's DNA as they tackle the challenging problems presented by a dynamic network at global scale. The team's mission is to ensure exceptional network performance and deliver an outstanding customer experience.

Key responsibilities include designing scalable network architectures, developing visualization tools for network topology monitoring, implementing highly-available control plane software, and establishing automated processes for development and maintenance. You'll work closely with satellite ground control services, customer engagement systems, and monitoring services to continuously optimize network performance.

This is an opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking project that combines space technology with advanced networking solutions. The role requires strong software development skills, system design expertise, and the ability to work with complex distributed systems. The position offers competitive compensation ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location, plus additional benefits including equity, sign-on payments, and comprehensive medical coverage.
