Senior Backend Engineer II, AI Native, Devices Cloud

Life360

Role Description As a Backend Engineer II on the Devices Cloud team, you will build and improve the cloud services that power Life360's connected hardware — Tile trackers, Jiobit wearables, and emerging device categories. You own well-defined components and features across device state management, telemetry ingest, and the integration layer that connects physical hardware to family-facing experiences. - Work with growing independence. - Contribute to technical designs and own smaller designs. - Break down tasks and deliver reliable, well-tested code with occasional guidance from senior engineers. - Collaborate with firmware, mobile, platform, and data teams. - Deepen your technical skills to power experiences for tens of millions of families daily. - Use AI as a first-class collaborator across coding, testing, and debugging. Qualifications - 5+ years of experience in software engineering experience building backend or cloud services. - Experience building defined features, investigating and fixing bugs, and writing test code with growing independence. - Working knowledge of cloud-native infrastructure (AWS: EKS, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, Kinesis, etc.). - Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants for real engineering tasks. - Solid coding and problem-solving skills, with a habit of self-testing. - A clear communicator who shares progress and explains their work. - Able to work semi-independently and unblock yourself. - 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. Requirements - Build and maintain components and features of Devices Cloud services — telemetry ingest, state management, command/control, and data pipelines. - Own well-defined features and smaller designs from implementation through production. - Use AI-native engineering practices in your daily work. - Work with firmware, mobile, product, and platform teams to implement APIs and integrations. - Contribute to cross-team efforts and escalate risks and blockers early. - Thoroughly test your own code to catch logic issues before integration. - Follow code review best practices and learn from senior engineers. - Translate technical specifications into high-quality code and contribute to team documentation. - Communicate progress clearly and surface blocking issues early. - Participate in on-call rotation and contribute to incident response and post-mortems. 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.
