Amazon Leo is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).

You will drive difficult trade-off decisions and communicate the solutions clearly to stakeholders across tech and business organizations to help them understand decisions and options. You will need to dive deep with the development team and challenge the design as needed to drive technical trade-off decisions.

High judgment, ability to influence, analytical talent, exceptional communications, the ability to partner with technical and non-technical stakeholders and leadership are essential to success in this role.
