Senior Product Manager, Adversarial Efficacy

Ring is seeking a hands-on, operationally elite leader to serve as Senior Product Manager, Adversarial Efficacy responsible for stress-testing Ring's crime deterrence capability across Virtual Security Guard (VSG), AI-powered proactive security features, and emerging security programs. This leader will design realistic adversary playbooks, running red-team and penetration exercises against live and simulated deployments, and turning what breaks into measurable improvements.

This is not a traditional product or engineering role. This is a security operations and adversarial testing role that demands someone who has operated in high-stakes, time-critical environments and who thinks like an attacker. The ideal candidate brings a law enforcement or military background ideally with a tactical, red-team, or operational testing component combined with the ability to translate that adversarial mindset into repeatable test protocols, defeat-and-bypass analysis, and quantified deterrence outcomes.

You will define what "effective deterrence" means under adversarial pressure and prove it through controlled attack scenarios across Ring's services, including VSG, AI proactive features (person detection, automated deterrence, smart alerts), and new capabilities as they ship. You will partner cross-functionally across Product, Engineering, AI/ML, Operations, and Legal to ensure every feature Ring ships holds up against a motivated adversary not just against the happy path.

Key job responsibilities:

• Build and own Ring's adversarial efficacy program: red-teaming, penetration testing, and defeat/bypass analysis against deterrence capabilities across all products and services.
• Design realistic adversary playbooks and threat scenarios (forced entry, evasion, spoofing, timing attacks, social engineering of response workflows) and run them against live and simulated deployments.
• Define the deterrence-under-attack effectiveness framework: which metrics matter (response time to intervention, deterrence success rate, evasion/defeat rate, escalation accuracy, dispatch outcomes), how they're measured, and what "good" looks like against an adversary.
• Establish test facilities and/or field-testing partnerships and create repeatable, controlled test protocols with appropriate coverage and safety controls.
• Lead a team operating at the intersection of adversarial security testing, product evaluation, and data-driven optimization.
• Set ambitious, measurable goals for deterrence resilience and build mechanisms to inspect performance at daily, weekly, and monthly cadences.
• Design real-world test conditions that simulate actual attack scenarios across diverse environments (residential, commercial, urban, rural, day, night, weather conditions).
• Translate findings into prioritized, engineering-actionable fixes and verify remediation through retesting.
