Software Development Engineer (SDE), SDN, Amazon LEO joins the Software Defined Network controller team to build the brain driving a Low Earth Orbit network. This role involves designing and delivering a modern, scalable, high-throughput, and low-latency network architecture for a global telecom service spanning space and terrestrial networks. You will implement workflows to orchestrate on-orbit payload activities, develop highly-available software for networking control plane operations on physical and virtual nodes, and automate processes for development, testing, and maintenance. Key responsibilities include diagnosing routing and forwarding issues across the data plane and physical topology while integrating telemetry and link-state data into route computation systems. The role requires proficiency in at least one programming language and experience with software architecture, reliability, scaling, and full software development life cycle practices to solve complex multi-dimensional resource allocation problems.
