Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

As a Sr. SDE who is supporting multiple Kuiper engineering teams (Anchor, Zerotouch GSG, Builder/BOTS, and Spock), you’ll be instrumental in creating and refining the tools and systems that power Kuiper's automation architecture from commit to space, through pipeline management and automated test suites. This role involves developing end-to-end automation for core testing processes, ensuring real-time health checks, and enabling continuous integration of new features across Kuiper environments. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to address challenging technical problems, optimize workflows, and drive improvements that reduce setup time, improve reliability, and support Kuiper’s long-term goals.
