Project Kuiper 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. Project Kuiper 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.

As a Software Dev Manager, you’ll be leading us in making critical and time sensitive decisions that impact customers. You will lead your team to design, implement, and operate globally available distributed systems geared towards giving Kuiper the ability to operate within realistic virtual Kuiper environments building emulations at scale. You’ll build systems using the latest AWS technologies, leveraging best-in-industry software engineering practices.

Export Control Requirement:

- Deep understanding of testing, continuous integration, build, deployment & continuous monitoring.

A day in the life
You will work with Business and other Engineering Stakeholders on defining the roadmap for Kuiper's simulation. You will own solving customer problems and building software that is flexible for many different customer use cases to support Kuiper's global footprint.

About the team
We build the cloud systems and APIs for software running on Kuiper devices to run simulation to achieve high quality software ultimately deployed onto hardware.
