The RBKS Developer Experience (DevX) team is looking for a Software Development Engineer to help Ring and Blink device software teams deliver high quality firmware faster. You'll build tools that streamline how firmware gets tested, making it easier for engineers to get fast, reliable feedback on their code changes across different environments. The work sits at the intersection of developer tooling and applied AI, with plenty of room to shape what gets built as priorities evolve.

You'll design and build developers tools that reduce friction in the testing process and help teams understand their test results. You'll work closely with firmware teams, including teams building agentic workflows for autonomous firmware generation, integrating your services into their development process end to end.

Key job responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate developer tools that streamline test execution and analysis across emulators, hardware devices, and other environments
- Apply generative AI techniques where they add genuine value, whether for test analysis, developer workflows, or exposing AI powered capabilities to other teams
- Collaborate closely with firmware teams to understand their needs and deliver tools that fit naturally into their workflow
- Contribute to the full software development lifecycle: scoping, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations
- Write clean, maintainable code and participate in peer code reviews

A day in the life
You start with a team standup to align on priorities. You might spend the morning designing a new tool or updating an existing one, then pair with a firmware engineer to understand their testing needs. You review a teammate's pull request, then join a cross team discussion about integrating your tools with an existing CI pipeline. Some days you're deep in code, other days you're sketching out how to help engineers triage test failures faster. The work varies and the team is still taking shape, so you'll have real influence over what gets built.

Basic qualifications

- Experience contributing to the architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and current systems
- Experience in professional, non-internship software development
- Experience programming with Python including object-oriented design
- Experience in developing tools supporting automated testing of embedded systems

Preferred qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
- Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
- Knowledge of machine learning model architecture and inference
