Job description

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 in order 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 member of the team building and operating AWS infrastructure that supports the organization's business services. You will contribute to the infrastructure support for integrations and multiple SAP S/4HANA systems, maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) to provision, configure, and maintain secure, scalable, and reliable cloud environments. Our ideal candidate has solid knowledge of integration patterns, authentication and certificate management, and a desire and ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Key job responsibilities

• Contribute to developing and delivering scalable microservices and APIs integrating AWS services with SAP systems (S/4HANA, Ariba, SuccessFactors) using protocols such as RFC, BAPI, IDoc, OData, and REST.
• Help maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) to provision and manage[JL1.1] 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, helping ensure 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.
• Assist with Certificate lifecycle management (provisioning, renewal, rotation, revocation) using ACM and AWS Private CA, including monitoring, alerting, and compliance with security standards (e.g., mTLS).
• Participate in on-call rotations, contribute to root cause analysis, and help maintain operational dashboards, alarms, and runbooks to improve reliability and cost efficiency.
• Collaborate 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.
• Support the integration of 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 help build pipelines feeding SAP transactional data[JL2.1] into ML models for anomaly detection and process optimization.
