Senior Builder - Product Manager, Ring - Hawthorne | Amazon Job

Job Description

Ring is seeking an AI-native Senior Builder to join our team to develop new device experiences that help make neighborhoods safer. This role unifies technical product management with full-stack development and spans app, cloud, and device firmware. You will ideate and validate feature concepts with automated data analysis, build functional prototypes, accelerate engineering delivery with AI-coding tools, and set the AI-native systems and standards other Builders across Ring adopt. You'll have end-to-end ownership from ideation to production launch, leading multi-contributor workstreams that span teams and functions. The ideal candidate is AI-first, analytically driven, operates with independent judgment on behalf of the business, and develops other Builders.

Key job responsibilities
- Build rapid functional prototypes and launch new features using AI-coding tools (e.g., Cursor) and Git workflows to enable deep exploration and reviews of product ideas, user experiences, and technical feasibility.
- Drive ideation and early feature validation through automated analysis of internal data, marketplace and competitive research.
- Lead engineering workstreams that span app, cloud, and device firmware, directing the technical work of multiple Builders and using GenAI tools to accelerate delivery with scalable, high-quality code.
- Lead product definition and requirements generation for new experiences with cross-functional stakeholders.
- Manage prioritization and trade-offs among customer experience, performance, profitability, and operational support load.
- Proactively identify and resolve strategic and/or tactical issues that impair the teams' ability to meet goals.
- Lead next-generation connectivity, device power, and notification experiences.
- Identify and automate repetitive manual workflows for cross-functional teams using agentic workflows.
- Define AI-native systems and standards for product work across Ring — including how AI-generated output is validated and held to Amazon's quality bar — and sponsor AI transformation initiatives beyond your immediate team.

Basic Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering and/or product management, including developing AI-powered applications.
- Demonstrated experience using LLMs and AI coding tools (vibe-coding) for strategy definition, requirements gathering, data analysis, UX design, and iterative development.
- Demonstrated experience building applications that incorporate GenAI (e.g., LLM calls, RAG, Agentic workflows, evals, etc).
- Demonstrated ability to champion the voice of customer from idea to launch.
- Demonstrated experience leading cross-team or cross-functional workstreams with multiple contributors and delivering measurable business-level outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience engaging with emerging/frontier AI capabilities before they are mainstream and developing them into shipped product.
