SDE II - Space & Ground Network Observability

Amazon Inc.; Redmond; On-site; AUD 210,000 - 284,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC in Redmond, WA is seeking a Software Development Engineer II to design, build, and operate network observability and analytics for a global telecom service spanning space and terrestrial networks.

You will build high-scale telemetry processing, dashboards, APIs, and analytics tooling, collaborating with network engineers, scientists, and software engineers to ensure reliable, observable systems across satellite and ground infrastructure.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
• 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience
• 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Responsibilities

• Design and develop highly scalable network observability, telemetry, and analytics systems spanning space and terrestrial infrastructure.
• Build real-time and near-real-time pipelines that ingest and correlate high-volume network telemetry, events, traces, and health signals.
• Develop algorithms and services that provide end-to-end network visibility, including failure detection, localization, correlation, and impact analysis.
• Build tools and platforms that enable engineers to quickly understand network health and diagnose complex, multi-hop failures.
• Design distributed systems capable of processing large volumes of telemetry while maintaining high availability, durability, and low latency.
• Develop APIs, services, dashboards, and analytical tools that expose network health and operational insights to internal customers.
• Work closely with network engineers and scientists to translate complex networking problems into robust software solutions.
• Establish metrics, service-level indicators, and automated detection mechanisms for critical Leo network components.
• Design systems that remain resilient in the presence of intermittent connectivity, partial failures, delayed telemetry, and unreliable network paths.
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle, including architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, operational readiness, and on-call support.
• Drive technical decisions across team boundaries and contribute to engineering standards for observability, reliability, and operational excellence.
• Mentor other engineers and contribute to a culture of high-quality, secure, and maintainable software development.
