In this role, you will work across multiple SDE organizations, Applied Science teams, and partner groups to build flexible, resilient data pipelines that enable our researchers to access high-quality training data just-in-time. Your technical leadership and strategic vision will be instrumental in reducing manual annotation efforts, improving data delivery turnaround times, and enhancing our capacity planning capabilities.As an Sr SDE, you will excel at solving ambiguous, complex problems and proactively mitigating risks before they become roadblocks. You will be a highly autonomous, data-driven engineer, regularly reviewing metrics and experimenting with new approaches to increase the reliability and efficiency of our data workflows. Importantly, you will also ensure your technical work remains tightly aligned with the organization's overarching AI and data management strategy.This role requires exceptional technical skills, strong business acumen, and the ability to influence and build consensus across diverse, cross-functional teams. Your primary focus will be on delivering innovative data solutions while simultaneously improving the long-term flexibility and maintainability of our data ecosystem.Key job responsibilities
Tactical:
• Conduct a comprehensive analysis of existing annotation workflows and develop/implement automation tools to streamline manual tasks
• Design and deploy scalable, fault-tolerant data collection, annotation, and delivery pipelines to support the growing needs of our Applied Science teams
• Collaborate with SDE, Data Engineering, and Applied Science teams to define requirements and ensure seamless integration of data solutions
• Automate data workflows and build reusable, self-service capabilities to increase the speed and agility of our data delivery
• Proactively identify and mitigate technical risks, demonstrating solid judgment in determining when to escalate
• Foster a culture of testing, monitoring, and continuous improvement across data systemsStrategic:
• Develop the long-term technical strategy and roadmap for the Data Management ecosystem, aligning with the organization's vision of delivering data for AI models with minimal manual intervention
• Assess emerging technologies and data management trends, and evaluate their potential impact on our data architecture and delivery capabilities
• Decompose ambiguous, complex problems into simplified, scalable solutions that reduce friction and improve flexibility
• Communicate technical designs, trade-offs, and outcomes effectively to senior leadership (Director level and above)
• Foster consensus and alignment across teams to drive coherent, enterprise-wide approaches to data challenges
• Actively mentor and develop more junior SDEs within the organizationA day in the life
As an experienced software engineer, you're looking for a role that combines technical excellence with strategic impact. That's exactly what you'll find as the Sr SDE leading the data pipeline efforts for Ring's AI Data Management team.Your day starts with reviewing the latest metrics and performance trends across our data collection, annotation, and delivery workflows. This data-driven approach keeps you closely connected to the real-world outcomes of your work. For example, you notice a concerning uptick in data delivery latency for a key ML model - a problem you're eager to investigate and resolve.Finally, you carve out time in the late afternoon to revisit your long-term technical roadmap. You know that truly transformative change requires a thoughtful, well-communicated vision. So you reflect on the latest inputs, assess your progress against key goals (like that 10% annotation effort reduction), and start outlining the next evolution of your data architecture strategy to share with senior leadership.No two days are exactly the same, but this captures the essence of what you'll experience as the Sr SDE for AI Data Management. It's a role that combines your technical mastery with the opportunity to drive strategic, high-impact change.
