Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) is developing secure, high-performance satellite communications technologies that support U.S. National and International security and defense. This role is responsible for designing, building out, and maintaining foundational software that extends Amazon Leo capabilities to U.S. Government customers such as NASA, DoD, other National Security customers, and International Government customers. You will develop brand new software services for mission critical space safety and sustainability applications which will automatically coordinate with external systems and organizations rapidly, reliably, and at scale. You’ll work in a fast-paced, high-impact environment, tackling complex challenges in secure satellite communications. This role requires deep expertise in high-assurance, fault-tolerant software and proficiency in modern programming languages such as Rust. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware, security, systems, and product teams to develop scalable, real-time solutions tailored for government customers. This role is based in Sunnyvale (preferred), CA, with U.S. relocation benefits available. Due to the sensitive nature of the ALG projects, onsite work is required five days a week. This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. Citizen in order to comply with U.S. government-imposed requirements related to the nature of the work and/or where it will be performed. 10037 Key job responsibilities In this role you will: - Utilize network layer packet processing experience and Software Defined Networking to develop high data rate packet processing system and other enabling interface software to meet unique Government customer needs. - Demonstrate the capabilities of the interfaces and architectures you define in a simulated test environment you help develop. - Solve complex technical problems related to the use of the Amazon Leo constellation for Government customers as part of a multi-disciplinary team. - Lead internal and vendor teams to develop and deliver on software and interface requirements. - Ensure systems meet Amazon Leo and Government customer performance needs including availability, reliability, upgradeability, interoperability, and security requirements. - Effectively communicate project health, risks and issues to stakeholders and management teams. - Escalate urgent issues appropriately and drive them to closure in a timely manner. - Provide visualizations, document results, and communicate them across multi-disciplinary project teams.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
