Job Description

Senior Staff Backend Engineer, AI-Native, Devices Cloud

Life360

• Own the technical architecture and long-term roadmap for Devices Cloud systems — device connectivity, telemetry ingest, state management, command/control, and data pipelines — ensuring they are scalable, secure, and resilient at Life360's scale. • Define and drive system-level technical direction across multiple teams, identifying architectural trade-offs, resolving cross-team design conflicts, and aligning engineering efforts with company strategy. • Lead AI-native engineering practices for Devices Cloud: architect agentic workflows, codify patterns for AI-assisted spec writing, code generation, test coverage, and incident response — and partner with org leadership to extend these playbooks broadly. • Partner with firmware, mobile, product, and platform teams to define APIs, integration standards, and device-driven workflows that translate cleanly across the hardware-software boundary. • Drive the architecture and delivery of large-scale, cross-team initiatives — from conception through production — managing dependencies, unblocking teams, and maintaining accountability for outcomes. • Anticipate system bottlenecks, failure modes, and security risks before they materialize; define safeguards and engineering standards that prevent class-of-problem recurrences. • Mentor and grow Staff and Senior engineers across the team: provide architectural guidance, conduct high-quality technical reviews, and act as a force multiplier for team output. • Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to influence organizational priorities, advocate for technical investments, and communicate technical strategy to executive stakeholders. • Represent the team in cross-functional forums; produce clear, concise architectural documentation and roadmap artifacts accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences. • Participate in on-call rotation and lead high-severity incident response, including post-mortems and systemic remediation.

Job Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience designing and operating large-scale backend or cloud infrastructure systems — with a strong preference for IoT, telematics, or hardware-adjacent domains.
  • Demonstrated track record of setting technical direction across teams, driving architectural decisions, and aligning engineering roadmaps with business goals.
  • Deep expertise with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS: EKS, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, Kinesis, etc.), distributed systems design, and high-throughput data pipelines.
  • Strong hands-on experience with agentic AI workflows — not just prompt engineering, but architecting multi-agent systems, managing context, and building AI-native development practices at a team or org level.
  • Proven ability to mentor Staff and Senior engineers, elevate team-wide engineering standards, and drive cultural change through influence rather than authority.
  • Exceptional communication skills: able to distill complex architectural concepts for diverse audiences, from junior engineers to executive leadership.
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities across groups, and lead through influence in a cross-functional environment.
  • Experience with high-frequency ingest systems, time-series data, and streaming platforms (Kafka, Kinesis, or similar).
  • Bachelor’s Degree in a Technical field, or equivalent experience.

Benefits

  • Competitive pay and benefits
  • Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (US and Canada)
  • 401(k) plan with company matching (US) / RRSP with DPSP matching (Canada)
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental well-being
  • Flexible PTO, plus several company-wide days off throughout the year
  • Winter and Summer week-long synchronized company shutdowns
  • Learning & Development programs
  • Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment
  • Free Life360 Platinum Membership for your preferred circle
  • Free Tile Products
