Sr. Software Dev Engineer, Amazon Leo OISL

Opportunity

You'll architect and deliver mission-critical tools and services that power network operations for our dynamic space-based laser link infrastructure. Working in an environment where ambiguity meets innovation, you'll transform complex, evolving requirements into elegant, scalable solutions while mentoring and leading a team of engineers to execute your vision.

What You'll Build

• Design and develop sophisticated multi-layered services that collect real-time telemetry from our satellite constellation, analyze network topology, and intelligently correlate data to identify and resolve faults.
• Your systems will automatically trigger remediation runbooks, escalate issues to appropriate teams, and leverage machine learning and generative AI to detect anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and predict customer impact before it occurs.

What We're Looking For

• You bring proven experience architecting and delivering complex, distributed systems in production environments.
• As a full-stack engineer, you possess both the technical depth to build clean, maintainable back-end services and the product sensibility to create intuitive, actionable visualizations that operators can trust and understand at a glance.
• Your meticulous attention to detail manifests in every layer of the stack—from elegant API design and robust data pipelines to thoughtful UI/UX that transforms complex telemetry into clear operational insights.
• You excel at breaking down ambitious technical roadmaps into actionable milestones and have a track record of successfully onboarding and elevating junior engineers.
• You have deep expertise in distributed cloud services and infrastructure-as-code principles is essential, as is the ability to thrive in high-ownership, high-accountability environments where your decisions directly impact mission success.

About The Team

The Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL) organization is responsible for the design, development, and manufacturing of critical hardware and software that makes laser links between satellites possible. We are rapidly expanding and developing a new Network Automation team. We are looking for a senior software engineer to join and lead our new team to develop novel software services that can automate fault finding based on satellite data, automate workflows and operational procedures, and use ML/AI to find and correlate anomalies in the space network, identify root causes, and predict customer impacts.
