Job description

Description

Amazon Leo is Amazon's Low Earth Orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

Key Job Responsibilities

Write clear documentation for your team's software, train new team members on how it is constructed and operated, and drive root-cause resolution for operational issues. A day in the life You might start your morning reviewing a pull request from a teammate, suggesting improvements to a mobile app design pattern and performance. After standup, you pick up a new feature that doesn't have a clear precedent yet, sketching out an approach with your product manager before writing code. In the afternoon, you pair with a designer to refine interaction details for an upcoming launch, then dig into an operational metric that looks off, tracing it to a rendering edge case you fix before it reaches customers.

We are part of the Amazon Leo Commerce engineering organization, building the e-commerce experience for a global satellite connectivity customer base. Our team works closely with backend commerce services, product, marketing, and business partners to launch new experiences from scratch.
