A day in the life

Have you wanted an opportunity to develop the software applications and services for an advanced global communications service? This role is for a Software Development Engineer who will design, build, and maintain components and services of Leo Commerce Services.

About the team

This position is for the Data Platform team, which sits within the Amazon Leo Commerce organization. We’re part of the exciting Amazon Leo initiative - Amazon’s effort to provide global broadband connectivity - and our corner of that world focuses on the commerce experience.

What does Leo Commerce do?

Simply put, we build the services and applications that help Leo customers discover, purchase, and use Leo connectivity services and products. Think of us as the part of Leo behind the customer-facing website and all the features that make the business side of Leo actually work.

What does Data Platform specifically own?

We’re the data folks! We build and maintain the tools that propagate and store data from all Leo Commerce systems. This means enabling teams across the org to query data, generate reports, and unlock business insights that drive real decisions. This means we have the important role of understanding the big picture of Leo Commerce systems. We also have recently took on owning SOX Compliance, since financial data fits well within our data charter.

But here’s the thing: while “Data Platform” is our name, we’re proudly cross-functional engineers. You might see your teammates automating User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for our retail websites, implementing features to ensure proper data handling for Accounting, or jumping into whatever challenge needs solving. We’re owners in the truest sense: if it helps get Amazon Leo to launch, we’re all in.
