Network Infrastructure Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable broadband connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From households to small businesses, schools, hospitals, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve communities and organizations operating in places without dependable internet access.
We are looking for a Senior Manager to lead the team defining the roadmap for Leo's overall network infrastructure

This leader will own the product roadmap spanning security, performance, reliability, ground infrastructure, and embedded software across both our customer terminals and satellite vehicles. This is a wide-scope, high-impact role for a seasoned product leader who thrives at the intersection of complex technical systems and crisp prioritization.
The ideal candidate is an exceptional product leader who can make difficult trade-offs across competing priorities, earn trust with senior engineering and business leaders, and translate ambiguous technical challenges into clear product direction.

You bring deep career experience in networking and have a proven track record of managing large-scale infrastructure portfolios through disciplined prioritization and stakeholder alignment.
Key job responsibilities
Own and define the multi-year network infrastructure product roadmap for Leo, spanning security, performance, reliability, ground infrastructure, and embedded software.
Set priorities and make trade-off decisions across competing workstreams - balancing customer-facing performance, system reliability, and delivery velocity.

Lead and develop a team of product experts, setting a high bar for customer-centric thinking, technical depth, and stakeholder engagement.
Build deep trust with engineering, business, and Leo leadership through transparency, data-driven recommendations, and consistent delivery.
Drive the embedded software product strategy for customer terminals (CTs) and satellite vehicles, working closely with hardware and firmware engineering teams.

Write and drive strategic narratives, investment proposals, and roadmap documents that inform executive decision-making.
Represent Leo network infrastructure in MBRs, OP1/OP2 planning, and executive reviews - articulating priorities, risks, and resource needs.
Establish and maintain clear planning cadences, milestone tracking, and communication rhythms across a broad set of stakeholders.

Champion a culture of customer obsession, technical excellence, and operational rigor within the product team.

A day in the life
Your week is a blend of strategic planning and hands-on leadership. Monday opens with a roadmap review where you're making a prioritization call between accelerating a ground infrastructure feature and pulling forward an embedded software security feature that a key customer segment is asking for

You bring data, customer signals, and engineering capacity constraints to frame the trade-off for your leadership.
Mid-week you're in a deep-dive with one of your PMs, Principal Engineers and the satellite vehicle firmware team, reviewing the approach for an over-the-air update mechanism. You push on reliability requirements and ensure the product requirements account for edge cases specific to Amazon Leo.

Later that day, you're aligning with the security team on the encryption and access control roadmap for ground-to-satellite communication.
Thursday brings an executive review where you present the quarterly roadmap update - clearly framing what shipped, what moved, and why. You've built trust with these stakeholders by consistently delivering on commitments and being transparent about trade-offs.

Friday you spend 1:1 time with your PMTs, coaching on a PRFAQ draft and reviewing prioritization frameworks ahead of the next planning cycle.
About the team
You'll be a leader on the Leo Connectivity team - a group of product and technology leaders responsible for delivering end to end connectivity products for our customers. Our team includes our device portfolio, enterprise validation, the networking overlay products our customers use every day, and of course your network infrastructure team.

This role sits at the center of that portfolio - providing the product leadership and roadmap coherence that enables multiple engineering teams to build toward a unified vision. You will work alongside engineering directors, principal engineers, and partner product teams to ensure Leo's network infrastructure is world-class.
We value leaders who earn trust through competence and transparency, who simplify complexity for their teams, and who make the hard calls on prioritization so their teams can execute with clarity and confidence.
