Software Development Engineer, Simulation Foundations

Project Kuiper, an ambitious Amazon initiative, is revolutionizing global connectivity through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit. As a Software Development Engineer in the Simulation Foundations team, you'll be at the forefront of building cloud systems and APIs that enable constellation-wide simulations crucial for delivering high-quality internet service worldwide.

The role involves designing and implementing distributed systems that allow Kuiper to operate within realistic virtual environments at scale. You'll leverage cutting-edge AWS technologies and industry-best practices to create low-latency, highly scalable architectures. Your work will directly impact the mission of bringing fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities globally.

Key responsibilities include building cloud-based services, developing simulation tools for various testing environments (from virtualized hardware to on-orbit testing), and mentoring junior engineers. The position offers competitive compensation ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location, plus comprehensive benefits including equity and sign-on bonuses.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a groundbreaking space technology project while working with state-of-the-art cloud technologies. You'll be part of a team that's not just building software, but helping bridge the digital divide and transform global connectivity. The role requires strong technical expertise in distributed systems, cloud architecture, and a passion for solving complex engineering challenges at scale.
