We are AI Native

We are building an AI native company where AI is an integral part of how we build and operate. AI tool usage during interviews varies by role. You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance. Your Recruiter will provide clear guidance as you move through the interview process.

Undisclosed use of AI not previously discussed with or approved by your Recruiter may impact your candidacy.

About The Team

This role sits on the Verticals team within Life360 — the group building the next frontier of meaningful connection beyond the core family circle. This role's initial focus is Aging in Place: helping aging parents stay safely independent while giving the families around them real peace of mind. Over time, this role may flex to support other emerging verticals — Things (Tile, connected trackers) or Pets — as priorities shift, so we're looking for someone who wants to help define the pattern for new member segments, not just ship one feature set.

We are a product-minded, AI-Native engineering team. That means AI isn't just a tool we use — it's how we work. We've redesigned our team workflows around AI, treating it as a first-class collaborator at every stage: ideation, coding, testing, review, and iteration. We ship faster and go deeper because of it, and we're looking for someone who wants to help define what that looks like at scale.

About the Job

Life360 is hiring an AI Native Senior Software Engineer — a senior engineer who doesn't just use AI tools, but thinks natively in them. You'll be central to how the Verticals team builds products.

You'll design and build features that serve one of our most important and fastest-growing member segments: aging parents who want to stay safely connected with, and independent from, the families who care about them. As priorities change, you may also apply these same patterns to Things (connected trackers) or Pets.

You will take full ownership of what you build from the first line of code through production, on-call, and the member impact it has. You obsess over the humans on the other end of the product, not just the ticket.

Full-stack experience is required for this role — you should be comfortable moving between backend services and the mobile surfaces that expose them. Our stack spans Spring Boot microservices, Java, Kafka, and Kafka Streams on the backend, a modern cloud-native platform on AWS, and native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) apps on the client side.

In your first year, success looks like having shipped end-to-end features serving the Aging in Place member segment and establishing at least one AI-native workflow the broader team adopts.

For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $103,500 to $192,000 USD. For candidates based out of Canada, the salary range for this position is 149,500 to 177,500 CAD. Note: Please be aware that the job title for positions in Canada will be "Developer" in lieu of "Engineer." We take into consideration an individual's background, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience in determining final salary. Base pay may also vary based on geographic location, with US work locations falling into one of three geographic tiers.

Total compensation is inclusive of equity compensation in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), as well as a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits. 

What You’ll Do

• Ship end-to-end across the stack — from backend services and APIs through to the iOS and Android surfaces members use, serving tens of millions of users — moving between layers as the feature demands.

• Work with AI (Claude Code) as a first-class collaborator — orchestrate agents to create specs, generate code, and perform reviews, moving faster without sacrificing quality.

• Define and codify AI-Native engineering practices for the Verticals team, establishing playbooks the broader org can adopt.

• Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to turn complex user problems into scalable engineering solutions.

• Contribute to architectural decisions, code reviews, and a culture of craft and continuous improvement.

• Participate in on-call rotation and incident response.

• Mentor team members and contribute to team processes and technical standards.

• Support performance, reliability, and accessibility across the features you own.

• Adapt patterns and services built for Aging in Place to future verticals (Things, Pets) as team scope expands.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of experience building and operating high-quality, consumer-scale services.

• 1+ years of hands-on exp
