Network Development Engineer II , ALG Software and Network Integration and Test

Amazon Leo is a initiative within Amazon that aims to revolutionize global

connectivity through the development of a state-of-the-art Low Earth Orbit (LEO)

interconnected satellite communication constellation. Our mission is to bridge

the digital divide by delivering high-speed, low latency, internet services to

underserved and unserved communities and remote communities around the world. By

leveraging satellite technology, we are working towards a future where everyone

has access to reliable and high-quality internet connectivity regardless of

their location.

The Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) Engineering organization is a

multi-disciplinary technology team established to rapidly address the needs of

targeted government and international customers with specific solutions that

have the potential to scale. ALG Engineering leads the development and delivery

of targeted and scalable solutions for custom space and terrestrial

applications. ALG collaborates closely with Project LEO to leverage the

constellation of advance satellites to provide seamless and efficient

communication capabilities to meet the needs of our customers. The ALG

Engineering team is seeking highly technical and talented individuals who are

passionate about creating unique solutions that result in a positive impact on a

global scale.

About the Role

We're looking for a Network Development Engineer who can design, build, and

operate network infrastructure across data center and engineering environments.

You'll own architectures that support production systems, integration

environments, and engineering labs — delivering reliability and scalability

while enabling teams to move fast.

You'll bring data center networking fundamentals — switching fabrics, routing,

segmentation, automation — and apply them across environments with varying

requirements, from production-grade availability to rapid reconfigurability for

hardware integration and system validation.

About You

You deliver simple, sustainable, and repeatable solutions — whether refreshing

aging infrastructure or standing up something new. You're comfortable designing

a scalable switching fabric and equally comfortable helping an engineer debug

why their test hardware can't reach a shared resource. You bring

production-grade thinking to every environment you touch, and you understand

that great infrastructure enables great engineering.

Key job responsibilities

• Design & deploy network architectures — switching fabrics, routing,

segmentation, and connectivity across data center and infrastructure

environments

• Automate network provisioning, configuration management, and operational

workflows; build tooling that enables infrastructure to scale at higher volume

• Operate & sustain multi-tenant network environments including technology

refresh, scaling, and optimization — delivering simple, sustainable, and

repeatable solutions

• Troubleshoot & resolve complex cross-domain network events spanning physical

layer through application connectivity; diagnose root cause and mitigate impact

• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software engineering teams to define

requirements and ensure smooth rollout of new designs and products

• Lead projects in network deployment, sustaining engineering, and

infrastructure scaling

• Maintain standards for change management, documentation (SOPs, implementation

guides, knowledge transfer), and configuration control; ensure compliance across

the networking toolset
