About the team
Ring Data Science and Engineering is organized into three sub-organizations: 1) Data Operations, 2) Data Warehouse, and 3) Data Science and Analytics. Originally established to drive Ring's data strategy, governance, architecture, analytics platforms, and business insights, we are now expanding our focus to support Blink, Key, and Sidewalk.
Data Operations is responsible for large-scale data collection services (e.g., API services), near-real-time telemetry streaming (e.g., Kinesis/Kafka), and operational analytics platforms (e.g., Splunk). This organization is divided into four teams: EventStream, LogStream, Quick Action Service (QAS), and Database Engineering.
Data Warehouse handles foundational data engineering pipelines (e.g., Airflow jobs using EMR), analytics platforms (e.g., Athena, Redshift, Tableau), and privacy compliance automation services (e.g., API services). This org is also divided into four teams: Platforms, Business Vertical Data Pipelines, Data Quality, and Data Privacy. These two-pizza teams primarily consist of Data Engineers, Software Development Engineers, and System Development Engineers.
Data Science and Analytics is responsible for Ring’s foundational AI/ML models, core business metrics, shared data models, product analytics dashboards, and analyst/scientist support. This organization is split into two teams: Business Intelligence and Data Science, with team members primarily comprising Business Intelligence Engineers and Data Scientists.
