Description For Software Engineer, Project Kuiper - Software and Business Services

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to revolutionize global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The mission is to bridge the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to underserved communities worldwide. As a Software Engineer in the Field Services Management (FSM) team, you'll play a crucial role in developing systems that enable Kuiper's customer installations. The FSM team manages everything from technician hiring and training to territory management, scheduling, and workforce management. You'll be working on integrating these systems with Kuiper's customer-facing applications and websites.

The position is part of the Software and Networking organization, which handles all software, services, and infrastructure needed to securely operate Kuiper's satellite constellation, manage ground infrastructure, and deliver highly available network services globally. This is an opportunity to work on industry-changing technology that has real-world impact, helping connect communities that currently lack reliable internet access.

The team values collaborative problem-solving and incremental delivery, fostering a culture that is empathetic, inclusive, and diverse. You'll be expected to write maintainable, efficient code while making pragmatic design decisions that balance immediate needs with long-term sustainability. The role requires strong technical skills combined with the ability to think strategically about system architecture and resource optimization.

The position offers competitive compensation including base pay ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 depending on location, plus equity and other benefits. This is an in-person role based in Redmond, WA, requiring U.S. person status due to export control regulations. Join us in building the future of global connectivity through cutting-edge satellite technology and sophisticated software systems.
