Ring"s mission is to make neighborhoods safer. We strive to make safety and peace of mind accessible to everyone and empower communities to work together for one another.

We"re looking for a passionate, hard-working, and talented Builder II to join our team. In this role, you"ll own features and workstreams end-to-end, from concept to launch, across both backend and frontend, while ensuring the highest level of quality for your team"s deliverables. The ideal candidate operates with independence in ambiguous spaces, brings strong technical ability and project management skills, and multiplies the effectiveness of those around them. You"ll be the kind of engineer others come to for help, helping shape how your team works, not just what it delivers. Builder II"s are also fluent AI practitioners: you don"t just use AI tools, you build with AI, creating automations and workflows that others adopt. You"re developing deep expertise in at least one domain, curious about the frontier, and bring innovative thinking, effective engineering leadership, and strong communication skills to a team-oriented environment.

Key job responsibilities

  • Design and implement features in web applications, utilized by Neighbors, Public Safety, and Ring users with AI embedded from the start and build reusable automations, agents, or tools, that your peers adopt
  • Work with other team members to investigate and document design approaches and evaluate technical feasibility
  • Ensure the performance and responsiveness of applications
  • Help maintain code quality and operational efficiency
  • Identify and correct bottlenecks and fix bugs
  • Promotes robust, maintainable code and clear documentation
  • Is comfortable with proactive outward communication and technical leadership and never shies away from a challenge

About the team

This position involves oncall responsibilities. We have a on boarding process to ensure a gradual and supportive transition into going on call.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
