As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer at Ring, you will lead the design and implementation of firmware for IoT devices, working across the full product lifecycle from early hardware bring-up to mass production. You will use C and C++ to architect robust subsystems, mentor team members, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, scalable device software.
Ring is growing in Poland and we are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join our firmware team in Gdansk. You will shape the firmware that runs on IoT devices used by millions of customers worldwide, and you will do it as a technical leader: setting the architecture, raising the bar on quality, and making the engineers around you better.
This is a hands on role. You will still write code and debug hardware. The difference at this level is scope. You will own the technical direction of a significant part of our firmware, decide how subsystems fit together, and be the person other teams come to when a problem crosses a boundary that nobody owns yet. You will take a product from an early idea and an unfinished board through to millions of units in the field, and you will be accountable for the decisions that made it work.
Our team operates with high autonomy and a strong feedback culture. We expect you to disagree with us when you think we are wrong.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the design and implementation of firmware spanning several subsystems, such as connectivity, streaming, power management, sensors, or security.
- Lead your colleagues to deliver high quality C and C++ that will scale with the needs of the business.
- Make architecture decisions that hold up across products, and write them down clearly enough that other teams can build on them.
- Set the technical bar through code review, design review, and the standards you hold yourself to, and empower your colleagues to meet and raise it.
- Mentor engineers, grow the people around you, and multiply what the team can deliver.
- Partner with hardware, QA, cloud, app, and silicon vendor teams to deliver one integrated product experience, and drive the decisions that cross those lines.
- Work with your manager and leadership to shape the firmware roadmap and influence the technical strategy behind it.
- Find and fix the hardest problems we have, including the ones that only reproduce on one board variant, at low temperature, or after eight hours of soak.
- Raise technical risk early, with a recommendation attached.
A day in the life
You start by reviewing a design document and pushing back on a choice that will not hold once a second product picks it up. After standup you write a driver for a new part and test it on the board at your desk. Midday you help the hardware team decide whether firmware can cover a missed power target. In the afternoon you pair on a bug that runs from application code down to a register, and show your colleague how to find it rather than fixing it yourself. You close the day writing to leadership about a schedule risk.
The minimum base pay salary for this position is listed below. Amazon reserves the right to offer a higher base salary, depending on the candidate's skills, competencies, and experience. As a total compensation company, Amazon's package may include further pay components such as a sign on payment, the eligibility to participate in a restricted stock unit scheme operated independently by Amazon.com Inc. in USA, and sales incentives where applicable. Your recruiting team will share final base pay and any applicable total compensation elements depending on skills and requirements. Company discretionary, supplementary benefits apply subject to further terms, including pension plans, health insurance, life and disability insurance, business travel insurance, MultiSport card, employee discount code and program (EDC/Extras), commuter benefits where applicable, and the Employee Assistance Program (private and confidential counseling and referral service to support health and well-being). The minimum base pay for this position is PLN 28,866 monthly.
About the team
We build the firmware inside Ring devices, from doorbells and cameras to security products. Our work starts before the hardware exists and continues long after launch, which means we own architecture, bring up, feature delivery, and the health of what is already in customers' homes. Our mission is to make devices that people trust, and to make them ship on time.
