Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites aimed at providing high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Software Engineer in the Builder Operations and test systems team, you'll be at the forefront of developing critical software for satellite operations ground support.
The role combines embedded systems development with cloud computing, requiring expertise in device software, TCP communications, and system-level programming using C++/Rust, alongside AWS cloud services. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing launch support equipment software that's crucial for Kuiper's mission success.
Working in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary environment, you'll engage with various engineering teams to build low-latency, highly scalable systems. The position offers competitive compensation ($129,300-$223,600 based on location) plus comprehensive benefits including equity and medical coverage.
This is an exceptional opportunity to join Amazon's space initiative and make a meaningful impact on global internet connectivity. The role requires strong technical skills, experience in full software development lifecycle, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment. Due to export control requirements, candidates must have appropriate U.S. work authorization.
