Ring builds the apps that millions of people open every day to check on their homes, see who"s at the door, and stay connected to what matters. As a Builder on the App Platform team, you"ll write the iOS and Android code that the rest of Ring"s mobile engineering organization depends on - the SDKs, frameworks, and tooling that dozens of feature teams build on top of.

This is a role for someone who loves mobile development and wants to go deep - whether that"s modern Swift and Kotlin or React Native paired with strong native fundamentals - using the latest platform APIs, clean architecture, and the kind of craftsmanship that holds up at the scale of tens of millions of users. You"ll also work alongside engineers who are aggressively adopting AI across the development lifecycle, and you"ll be expected to use those tools well - not as a novelty, but as a real lever to ship better software faster.

Key job responsibilities

You will:

  • Build and maintain native iOS and/or Android platform components - SDKs, shared libraries, architectural primitives, and developer tooling - used by feature teams across Ring
  • Write high-quality, well-tested code with performance, reliability, and maintainability in mind
  • Use AI-powered development tools effectively across your day-to-day work: code generation, test authoring, code review, debugging, documentation, and defect resolution
  • Contribute to the evolution of Ring"s mobile architecture, identifying friction points and proposing improvements
  • Help maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and automated testing infrastructure for the mobile platform
  • Partner with feature teams to ensure platform components are easy to adopt, well-documented, and fit their real-world needs
  • Collaborate with backend, product, and UX partners to deliver cohesive end-to-end experiences

A day in the life

As a Builder on the App Platform team, you will:

  • Ship iOS and Android code that powers features used by millions of customers
  • Apply modern AI-assisted workflows to write, test, review, and debug code more effectively
  • Dig into performance, memory, and battery characteristics of the Ring app and find opportunities to make it better
  • Work closely with feature teams as a platform partner - helping them adopt new APIs, debug tricky integration issues, and ship with confidence
  • Participate in technical design discussions and code reviews with experienced mobile engineers, sharpening your craft

About the team

Ring"s App Platform team is the technical backbone of our mobile development organization. We own the cross-cutting concerns - architecture, tooling, frameworks, performance, and developer experience - that enable dozens of feature teams to ship high-quality software to tens of millions of users. We combine the ambition and speed of a startup with the scale, resources, and impact of Amazon.

You"ll work closely with senior leadership in an organization intentionally designed to break down the corporate org-chart barriers that slow most companies down. Builders sit shoulder-to-shoulder with the leaders setting direction - that leadership is hands-on, actively reshaping how we think about AI in software development, and shaped by a vision that has redefined what neighborhood safety looks like for communities around the world. You"ll feel that influence directly in the pace, the ambition, and the access you have to the people steering the work.

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.
