The posting
Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.
Developer Experience organization owns the entire path from commit to satellite. This is a unique opportunity to offer this scope to platform engineers. We will build a unified platform that empower Leo engineers to see their code affect satellite operations within days not weeks, months or a quarter. We will also provide a one-stop view enabling stakeholders to evaluate releases across all dimensions (acceptance, performance, security), reducing manual intervention, accelerating approval, and providing end-to-end traceability.
We are looking for a strong engineer, who are passionate about building solution in a green field, and are excited about building solutions that enhance automation, stability, and release processes across multiple systems. You will be responsible for developer experience across the entire Leo, CICD and production services. You will work closely with Sr. Engineers and principal engineers and Sr. Principal Engineers, application teams, identify and address common issues, drive solutions, and improve overall release quality, reliability and operational excellence. You will join a start-up team to build self-serve platform, automation, tools that enable Leo engineers to ship high quality software to space and ground, rapidly, securely and at scale.
Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Key job responsibilities Our team vision is to build self-service platform that empower developers to ship the high-quality software to space and ground at the speed of code, reliably, rapidly and at scale. A successful engineer in this role is : • Highly analytical: You solve problems in ways that can be backed up with verifiable data. You focus on driving processes, tools, and statistical methods which support rational decision-making. • Team obsessed: You help grow your team members to achieve results. You foster the creative atmosphere to let engineers innovate, while holding them accountable for making smart decisions and delivering results. • You’re ambitious, yet humble: You recognize that there’s always opportunity for improvement and use introspection and feedback from teammates and peers to raise the bar for your team. • Engaged by ambiguity: You're able to explore new problem spaces with unique constraints and thus non-obvious solutions; you’re quick to identify any gaps in the team and the right person to fill them to best deliver value to customers.
A day in the life You will work with Sr. Engineer, Principal Engineer and Sr. Principal Engineer side by side. You will have opportunity to collaborate with partner teams to understand the business use case. The room for invent and simplify and think big is large.
