Software Development Engineer, Simulation Foundations

Project Kuiper is an ambitious initiative by Amazon to launch a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) to provide global broadband access. As a Software Development Engineer on the Simulation Foundations team, you'll be instrumental in building cloud-based systems and APIs that enable constellation-wide simulations for Kuiper devices including satellites, ground gateways, and customer terminals.

You'll be working on creating low-latency, highly scalable architectures that are crucial for delivering high-quality internet service to customers worldwide. The role involves designing and implementing distributed cloud-based services using cutting-edge AWS technologies while adhering to best-in-industry software engineering practices.

Key responsibilities include:

• Building systems leveraging latest AWS technologies
• Designing and implementing distributed cloud-based services and APIs
• Working with Docker and containerization
• Developing tools for test execution across multiple environments
• Creating systems for continuous integration and release
• Mentoring junior engineers and promoting engineering excellence

The position offers competitive compensation ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 per year based on geographic location, plus equity and comprehensive benefits. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a groundbreaking project that aims to bridge the digital divide by providing internet access to underserved communities globally.
