Frontend Engineer II, 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 II on the Ground Control Console team, you'll play a crucial role in developing and maintaining the operational tooling systems that are essential for the mission's success.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of space technology and software engineering. You'll be responsible for building performant applications that support critical mission functions, from launch operations to constellation automation. The role requires strong technical skills in frontend development, particularly with JavaScript frameworks, and the ability to create scalable, reliable systems.

The team culture emphasizes operational excellence and continuous improvement. You'll collaborate with engineers across ground and space systems, contributing to an integrated solution that powers Kuiper's mission. While space systems experience is beneficial, it's not mandatory - what's most important is your software engineering expertise and ability to handle complex systems.

The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location, plus additional benefits including equity and sign-on payments. This is a unique opportunity to join Amazon's space initiative and work on technology that will literally expand the boundaries of global connectivity.

The position requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to export control regulations. You'll be based in Redmond, WA, working with a team that prioritizes building systems that are not just functional, but scalable, reliable, adaptable, and performant. If you're passionate about frontend development, interested in space technology, and want to work on systems that will help bridge the digital divide, this role offers an exceptional opportunity to make a significant impact.
