Salesforce Engineer , Amazon Leo Government

Amazon Leo is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Amazon Leo will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

Amazon Leo Government (ALG) supports government customers by developing solutions and capabilities that address their unique connectivity, procurement, and operational requirements.

As a Salesforce Engineer supporting Amazon Leo Government, you will design, develop, and implement scalable CRM and CPQ solutions that enable critical government sales, business development, and contracting processes. You will work extensively with Salesforce Sales Cloud capabilities, including Lead, Account, Contact, and Opportunity Management, CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote), and custom application development using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Salesforce Flow, and other Salesforce platform technologies.

You will contribute to the development and enhancement of ALG Salesforce applications, including adapting CRM and CPQ data models to a common Salesforce organizational data model, implementing secure data access controls, and enabling government-specific workflows such as RFI/RFP management, opportunity capture, and partner co-selling programs.

You will also contribute to Generative AI-powered CRM solutions using AWS Bedrock, leveraging AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and Salesforce integrations to automate business processes, enhance productivity, and improve customer experiences. The role involves designing and implementing secure, scalable API integrations between Salesforce, AWS services, third-party applications, and internal enterprise systems.

You will collaborate closely with product managers, technical program managers, engineering managers, and software engineers to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions. You will drive engineering best practices across application design, development, testing, CI/CD, security, production support, and operational excellence.

The ideal candidate will pioneer mechanisms and processes to improve engineering velocity, scalability, and reliability while embracing emerging technologies and AI-assisted development practices. This fast-paced team offers significant opportunities for self-motivated engineers who thrive on technical challenges, enjoy building innovative solutions, prioritize exceptional customer experiences, and take ownership of complex initiatives from design through production delivery.
