Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide. As a Software Development Engineer on the Kuiper Secure Communications Team, you'll be responsible for the critical security aspects of satellite communications. The role involves developing software using Python, C++, or Rust, and working with cross-functional teams to design and implement secure communication solutions between satellite functions.
The position requires strong software development skills and experience in system architecture, with opportunities to work on high-impact software that will help bridge the digital divide. You'll be part of a team that owns the entire stack of secure communication between satellite functions, participating in all phases of development from requirements through implementation and testing to operations.
This is an excellent opportunity for engineers interested in space technology and secure communications to make a significant impact on a project that aims to provide internet connectivity to millions of people. The role offers competitive compensation, including equity, and comprehensive benefits. Due to export control requirements, candidates must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or have refugee/asylum status.
