Sr. Security Engineer, Leo Security

Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband network connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

We are a specialized security team that sits inside a global satellite communications business. Our job is to make sure security lessons become permanent: when a security event happens, we find the root cause, close the immediate gap, and build the mechanism that keeps it closed. We watch across the whole environment, spot the trends others are too busy to chase, and turn them into initiatives that measurably reduce risk.

We work shoulder to shoulder with the builder teams designing, launching, and operating the product, and we partner closely with incident response, detection, and enterprise security functions. Over the coming years our focus is shifting further upstream: getting ahead of incidents through proactive posture improvement, hunting for gaps before they are exploited, and investing in automation so security scales with the business rather than against it. If you want your work to protect customers of a system being built at a scale few companies attempt, you will find that purpose here.
