As the team responsible for Device Registry, the core service managing all Ring device metadata at over 1 million transactions per second, you'll directly impact how customers interact with their Ring ecosystem through mobile apps and smart home integrations.

You'll collaborate across Ring's software, firmware, and product organizations while working with AWS technologies to solve complex distributed systems challenges. This role offers the opportunity to architect solutions that process real-time device events, trigger automated responses (like motion-activated lighting), and enable seamless device configuration experiences for Ring's growing customer base.
