Job description

Sr. System Development Engineer, Amazon Leo

Job ID: 10597227 | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC

Amazon Leo is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Amazon Leo will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

Export Control: This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. Citizen to comply with U.S. government-imposed requirements related to the nature of the work and/or where it will be performed.

The role: In this role, you will be a key member of the team building and operating AWS infrastructure that supports the organization’s business services. You will provide infrastructure support for integrations and multiple SAP S/4HANA systems, develop infrastructure as code (IaC) to provision, configure, and maintain secure, scalable, and reliable cloud environments. Our ideal candidate is highly autonomous and has a strong knowledge of AWS, IaC tools and practices, integration patterns, authentication, and certificate management. The desire and ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment is essential.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and own end-to-end delivery of scalable microservices and APIs integrating AWS services with SAP systems (S/4HANA, Ariba, SuccessFactors) using protocols such as RFC, BAPI, IDoc, OData, and REST.
• Build and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) to provision and manage the AWS infrastructure (EventBridge, SQS, SNS, Step Functions) required to support event-driven architectures and SAP integration pipelines (BTP, Integration Suite), per solution specifications.
• Troubleshoot and resolve integration failures across distributed systems, ensuring high availability and data consistency.
• Implement and manage authentication/authorization mechanisms (SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OIDC) and identity provider configuration enabling secure SSO in hybrid environments.
• Automate Certificate lifecycle management (provisioning, renewal, rotation, revocation) using ACM and AWS Private CA, including monitoring, alerting, and compliance with security standards (e.g., mTLS).
• Develop and integrate AI/ML capabilities into SAP workflows using Bedrock, SageMaker, Textract, and Comprehend for intelligent automation (document processing, conversational interfaces, forecasting).
• Collaborate with data engineers to build pipelines feeding SAP transactional data into ML models for anomaly detection and process optimization.
• Participate in on-call rotations, drive root cause analysis, and maintain operational dashboards, alarms, and runbooks to continuously improve reliability and cost efficiency.
• Mentor junior engineers, drive technical decisions, and author design documents that influence the team’s SAP integration and AI roadmap.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with SAP Basis, security, and product teams to align on requirements and delivery.
• Work closely with the offshore support team to coordinate issue triage and resolution, provide clear handoffs, share technical context, and improve support processes across time zones.
• Develop and integrate AI/ML capabilities into SAP workflows using Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore, SageMaker, Textract, and Comprehend for intelligent automation, including building MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool servers, Fiori integration patterns (BAdI extension calls, side panel plugins, full custom agent applications), and conversational AI interfaces.
• Design and build agentic AI solutions on Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore, including MCP tool servers, multi-agent orchestration, knowledge bases, and AI safety guardrails for SAP-integrated workflows.
• Own the integration of AI co-pilot experiences into enterprise surfaces (Quick Suite, Fiori), ensuring secure cross-partition data flow, agent evaluation and monitoring, and alignment with the organization’s AWS-first AI strategy.
