This role involves defining and driving the technical strategy for Ring's mobile architecture, championing AI-powered development practices, and architecting mobile solutions that serve tens of millions of daily active users.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the technical strategy for Ring's mobile architecture, balancing development velocity with the performance and reliability customers expect from a home security product
• Champion AI-powered development practices across the mobile organization — from AI-assisted code generation and automated testing to intelligent code review and predictive quality assurance
• Architect mobile solutions that serve tens of millions of daily active users on iOS and Android
• Establish frameworks, SDKs, tooling, and best practices that accelerate feature development, improve code quality, increase testability, strengthen observability, and streamline the path from idea to production
• Drive continuous improvement in CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, modularization, and release engineering for large-scale codebases
• Mentor and influence engineers across the organization, raising the bar for mobile development practices and fostering a culture of technical excellence and experimentation
• Partner with product, UX, backend, and infrastructure teams to deliver cohesive features that span the full stack of Ring's connected device ecosystem

Qualifications

• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
• 7+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
• 7+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• 7+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 7+ years of professional software development experience building mobile applications
• 7+ years of deep native iOS (Swift/Objective-C) or Android (Kotlin/Java) development, with working knowledge of the other platform — or equivalent depth building production mobile apps with React Native or a comparable cross-platform framework, with strong familiarity with at least one underlying native platform
• Demonstrated experience building and operating applications at large scale (millions of daily active users)
• Experience designing and implementing modern mobile architectures (e.g., MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture, unidirectional data flow) using current platform tooling (SwiftUI/UIKit, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, Combine, etc.)
• Strong command of the full mobile SDLC including CI/CD, automated testing, release management, and production monitoring
• Experience leading technical initiatives that span multiple teams or influence organizational engineering practices
