• 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 Rings 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.

Basic Qualifications
