Ring is seeking an AI-native Senior Builder to join our team to develop new device experiences that help make neighborhoods safer. This role unifies technical product management with full-stack development and spans app, cloud, and device firmware. You will ideate and validate feature concepts with automated data analysis, build functional prototypes, accelerate engineering delivery with AI-coding tools, and set the AI-native systems and standards other Builders across Ring adopt. You’ll have end-to-end ownership from ideation to production launch, leading multi-contributor workstreams that span teams and functions. The ideal candidate is AI-first, analytically driven, operates with independent judgment on behalf of the business, and develops other Builders.
Key job responsibilities
Build rapid functional prototypes and launch new features using AI-coding tools (e.g., Cursor) and Git workflows to enable deep exploration and reviews of product ideas, user experiences, and technical feasibility.
Drive ideation and early feature validation through automated analysis of internal data, marketplace and competitive research.
Lead engineering workstreams that span app, cloud, and device firmware, directing the technical work of multiple Builders and using GenAI tools to accelerate delivery with scalable, high-quality code.
Lead product definition and requirements generation for new experiences with cross-functional stakeholders.
Manage prioritization and trade-offs among customer experience, performance, profitability, and operational support load.
Proactively identify and resolve strategic and/or tactical issues that impair the teams’ ability to meet goals.
Lead next-generation connectivity, device power, and notification experiences.
Identify and automate repetitive manual workflows for cross-functional teams using agentic workflows.
Define AI-native systems and standards for product work across Ring — including how AI-generated output is validated and held to Amazon’s quality bar — and sponsor AI transformation initiatives beyond your immediate team.
Basic Qualifications

Demonstrated experience using LLMs and AI coding tools (vibe-coding) for strategy definition, requirements gathering, data analysis, UX design, and iterative development.
Demonstrated experience building applications that incorporate GenAI (e.g., LLM calls, RAG, Agentic workflows, evals, etc).
Demonstrated ability to champion the voice of customer from idea to launch.
Demonstrated experience leading cross-team or cross-functional workstreams with multiple contributors and delivering measurable business-level outcomes.
Preferred Qualifications
