Frontend Engineer, Ground Control Console

Project Kuiper is an ambitious initiative by Amazon to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites, aimed at providing high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Frontend Engineer on the Ground Control Console team, you'll play a crucial role in developing and implementing operational tooling essential for executing the Kuiper mission. The position involves working with cutting-edge space technology while focusing on creating performant applications and driving operational excellence.

The role requires expertise in frontend development, particularly with JavaScript frameworks, and strong computer science fundamentals. You'll collaborate with engineering teams across ground and space systems, building and maintaining frontend tooling used for critical mission functions including launch operations, on-orbit demonstrations, and constellation automation.

The Ground Control Console team is responsible for operational tooling systems that support all aspects of Project Kuiper's mission. They prioritize building scalable, reliable, and adaptable systems that the mission depends on for success. While space systems experience is beneficial, it's not mandatory - what's most important is strong software engineering skills and the ability to work effectively in a complex, mission-critical environment.

This position offers competitive compensation ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location and experience, plus comprehensive benefits. Due to export control requirements, candidates must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or have refugee/asylum status. The role is based in Redmond, WA, where you'll be part of a team working on technology that will literally change global connectivity.

If you're passionate about frontend development, interested in space technology, and want to work on systems that will have a global impact, this role offers an unique opportunity to combine these interests while working with cutting-edge technology at Amazon.
