- Is comfortable with proactive outward communication and technical leadership and never shies away from a challenge
About the team
The team are responsible for developing and delivering firmware for Ring's camera-centric devices - new products, supporting existing devices, and adding new features. We're a large team with sites in Europe and Asia as well as stakeholders in the US.

- Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Java, C++, or C# including object-oriented design
- Experience in professional, non-internship software development
