About the team
Rings 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. If you want to work on problems where your decisions matter at massive scale and where you have the freedom to chart a genuinely new course this is the team.
Youll work closely with senior leadership every day. Ring is intentionally structured to break down the corporate org-chart barriers that slow teams down builders sit shoulder-to-shoulder with the leaders setting direction and decisions happen in the room rather than three layers up. That leadership is deeply 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. As a Senior Builder on App Platform you wont just receive that vision youll help carry it forward into how Ring builds mobile software.
