Amazon Ring is looking for a Software Development Engineer who will be a part of our VDC Software team, playing a critical role in deploying and operating internal engineering platforms that accelerate hardware product development across Ring, Blink, and Key Security product lines.

You will own the end-to-end deployment of a vendor-provided platform on Amazon's AWS infrastructure -- adapting vendor CDK to Amazon security standards, building deployment pipelines, developing custom integrations, and owning production operations. Beyond leveraging AI agents and Generative AI tools in your daily workflow, you'll also contribute to building AI-powered automation that is transforming manufacturing software development. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within a fast-paced environment.

The ideal candidate:

Drives architecture decisions independently and owns production systems end-to-end
Excels at adapting third-party infrastructure to enterprise security and compliance standards
Has shipped production cloud services through the complete development lifecycle
Demonstrates technical leadership through cross-team coordination without direct authority

A day in the life
As a member of the VDC Software team, you will own internal platform deployment that directly enables hardware engineers in the same building to design better products faster. You will interact with a versatile team of firmware engineers, hardware engineers, and external vendors to deploy, integrate, and operate platforms at scale. This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position where you work with experts across security, infrastructure, and hardware engineering domains. You have high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you are constantly looking for ways to improve reliability, security, and developer experience.
