    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 or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Key job responsibilities - Design and implement scalable, production-grade neurosymbolic systems that integrate symbolic reasoning over graph-based knowledge representations with LLM agents to deliver reliable, verifiable security outcomes. - Design and run reinforcement learning and fine-tuning pipelines (GRPO, PPO, DPO) to optimize language models for security reasoning, triage, and detection-authoring tasks. - Build behavioral and statistical models that detect threat actor behavior, and design the evaluation frameworks that measure model performance against that behavior before trusting a model in production. - Design and build multi-agent systems that autonomously triage, enrich, and contain security events, including the constrained reasoning, safety guardrails, and validation mechanisms that make automated decisions trustworthy at scale. - Own the end-to-end science lifecycle, from research and experimentation through production deployment, defining the metrics that measure system performance and real-world security impact. - Advance the state of the art through publications at top-tier venues, patents, or open-source contributions, and shape the scientific agenda and research culture from day one. A day in the life You will move between research and production in the same week: framing an ambiguous security problem as a scientific question, prototyping an approach, and partnering with software engineers to ship it as a capability the platform runs continuously. Security engineers on your team translate threat intelligence into the adversary behaviors that matter; you build the models that detect those behaviors and evaluate model performance against them. You will obsess over the two latencies that define the platforms, the time from event to detection and the time from detection to containment action, and design agents and detections that drive both down. You will backtest candidate detections against retained telemetry, review evaluation results before a model or agent capability graduates to automated execution, and deliver scientific artifacts that ship. About the team Leo Infrastructure and IP Security protects the people, facilities, hardware, and supply chain behind a global satellite constellation. The Engineering and R\&D team within this organization builds the platforms and tooling the security pillar teams operate on, moving security operations from manual triage to correlation-based detection, automated response, and agentic AI. The team is composed of applied scientists, software engineers, and security engineers working across physical and digital security domains. #### Inclusive Team Culture In Amazon Security, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Ongoing DEI events and learning experiences inspire us to continue learning and to embrace our uniqueness. Addressing the toughest security challenges requires that we seek out and celebrate a diversity of ideas, perspectives, and voices. #### Training & Career Growth We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, training, and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional. #### Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why flexible work hours and arrangements are part of our culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve.
