Job Description

Senior Software Engineer II – AI-Native, Backend Growth

Life360

• Design and build high-quality API and services for our subscribers and payment infrastructure— experiences that are safe, intuitive, and genuinely useful. • Work with AI (Claude Code) as a first-class collaborator — your primary workflow involves orchestrating agents to create specs, generate code and tests, verify results, and perform reviews. • Help define and codify AI-Native engineering practices for the Growth team, establishing playbooks the broader org can adopt. • Build across the full stack as needed — shipping polished, performant, and reliable experiences to tens of millions of users. • Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to turn complex user problems into elegant, 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. • Use agentic workflows to dramatically increase the delivery of strong outcomes — moving faster without sacrificing quality. • Mentor team members and contribute to team processes, technical standards, and help evolve the team's AI-native engineering practices. • Support performance, reliability, and accessibility across the features you own.

Job Requirements

  • 6+ years of backend software engineering experience
  • Strong proficiency with Java and Spring Boot (this is our primary stack)
  • Experience with Apache Kafka or similar distributed streaming platforms
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts: consistency, fault tolerance, replication, and data durability
  • Comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and containerized deployments
  • Heavy user of agentic workflows, understands research-plan-implement cycle but doesn’t outsource thinking to agents.

Benefits

  • Competitive pay and benefits.
  • Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for US employees). We offer supplemental plans for medical and dental for Canadian employees.
  • 401(k) plan with company matching program in the US and RRSP with DPSP plan for Canadian employees.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental wellness.
  • Flexible PTO and 12 company wide days off throughout the year.
  • Learning & Development programs.
  • Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment.
  • Free Life360 Platinum Membership for your preferred circle.
