Description

We're looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join the Ring Cambridge team. As a Software Engineer, you'll be a core member of a team building Ring's next generation of camera-centric devices. While experience with embedded systems is valuable, we want engineers who are passionate about building IoT products and eager to work close to the hardware.

The ideal candidate is responsive, flexible, and thrives in an open, collaborative peer environment. You'll obsess over device performance—whether that's battery life, boot time, system latency, or other critical KPIs. You'll deliver significant new features and integrate with new hardware and software services.

Key job responsibilities
- Own and manage your personal backlog, prioritising work to maximise impact
- Dive deep into complex technical issues and drive them to resolution
- Design and implement firmware features for Ring's camera-centric devices
- Collaborate with hardware, cloud, and application teams to deliver end-to-end solutions
- Contribute to architecture decisions that improve device performance and reliability
- Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing across the team

A day in the life
The ideal candidate:

- Enjoys working side-by-side with partners, colleagues, and teams on difficult problems
- Is highly effective and thrives in a dynamic environment with multiple, changing priorities
- Knows what is important when shipping products to customers and has been through the process from start to finish
- Is comfortable with proactive outward communication and technical leadership, and never shies away from a challenge

About the team
We develop and deliver 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.
