# Senior Applied Scientist, Leo Space Security

Amazon Leo is 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 looking for an Applied Scientist to be a founding scientist on the Engineering and R&D team within Leo Infrastructure and IP Security. The team defends the manufacturing lines, launch sites, and global ground infrastructure behind the constellation from the most sophisticated threat actors on the planet. These requirements create open scientific problems at the intersection of agentic AI, real-time stream processing, graph-based reasoning, and behavioral analytics. You will build the science behind a neurosymbolic reasoning platform and the models that detect the behavior of sophisticated threat actors. This is an R&D role with a production mandate, where you define the problem rather than solve a pre-scoped one, and every model, detection, and agent workflow you build becomes the system Leo's security teams use to protect the constellation. #### Export Control Requirement Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen.
