Amazon Leo is launching satellite-based connectivity in 100+ countries. Every country launch requires validation across tax, accounting, disbursement, legal, trade, and core commerce — thousands of test cases, dozens of teams, months of sequential human work. We're replacing that entire process with orchestrated AI agent squads that execute in parallel, share cross-domain context, and learn from every launch.

The Leo Commerce team is seeking engineers who are interested in building the next generation eCommerce platform that is highly scalable, fully automated and always available.
