Software Development Engineer, SDN Controller, Amazon LEO

Overview In this role you will help design and operate a scalable, high-throughput, low-latency network for a massive satellite constellation and terrestrial infrastructure. You will work with cross-functional teams to build the SDN-based control plane that coordinates space and ground networks. You’ll translate complex routing and telemetry data into robust control and automation workflows. This is a mission-driven opportunity to shape a global communications backbone at the intersection of space and cloud.
