Amazon Leo will help close the digital divide by serving a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

We're offering exciting opportunities to:

• Build and own core customer-facing web experiences, starting with the Leo consumer website, at global scale
• Invent and build with AI: leverage generative AI throughout the development lifecycle to accelerate delivery while maintaining high engineering standards
• Shape customer experience: work directly with designers, product managers (PMs), and business stakeholders to define and deliver a great customer experience
• Drive high-impact work: your code directly serves customers globally, improving reliability, performance, and satisfaction
• Build greenfield front-end systems and reusable component libraries from scratch that operate at global scale
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to shape the future of Amazon Leo's products and services
• Contribute to the technical direction of Amazon Leo's front-end architecture and standards

The ideal candidate will have:

• A passion for building fast, accessible, and delightful web experiences that solve complex, large-scale challenges
• A proven track record of delivering high-quality, production front-end applications
• Deep expertise in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and front-end frameworks such as React, along with strong fundamentals in HTML, CSS, web performance, and accessibility
• Experience building and consuming APIs and integrating front-end applications with cloud-native back-end services on AWS, including modern AI/ML integration patterns where applicable
• A strong sense of ownership, with the ability to make sound architectural decisions and mentor other engineers through code reviews and technical guidance
• Excitement about working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment to create something truly impactful

If you're passionate about crafting exceptional web experiences and solving complex technical challenges in a fast-paced, startup-like environment, we want to hear from you. Join us in this unique opportunity to shape the future of satellite internet service delivery.

• Develop a strategic plan for the growth of the team, both from a software services and organization perspective
• Hire & develop a diverse team of software engineers passionate about revolutionizing satellite internet
• Help on-board and mentor new team members
• Drive technical architecture decisions and establish engineering best practices for scalable, reliable systems serving millions of customers globally
• Partner with product managers, UX designers, TPMs, and peer teams to design software systems and interfaces that fulfill customer needs
• Foster a culture of rapid innovation and experimentation, balancing speed with engineering excellence in a startup-like environment
