[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Life360

Role Description

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.

• Design and build features that serve aging parents who want to stay safely connected with, and independent from, their families.
• Take full ownership of what you build from the first line of code through production, on-call, and the member impact it has.
• Full-stack experience is required: comfortable moving between backend services and mobile surfaces.
• Stack includes Spring Boot microservices, Java, Kafka, and Kafka Streams on the backend, and native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) apps on the client side.
• Success in your first year looks like shipping end-to-end features for the Aging in Place member segment and establishing at least one AI-native workflow.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience building and operating high-quality, consumer-scale services.
• 1+ years of hands-on experience prompting, evaluating, and building with LLMs.
• Full-stack proficiency spanning backend services (Java, Spring Boot, Kafka) and mobile client development (Swift for iOS and/or Kotlin for Android).
• Hands-on experience with agentic workflows, prompt engineering, context window management, and MCP/function calling.
• A strong sense of ownership — proactive in fixing issues and ensuring member satisfaction.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Excitement for defining what it means to be AI-Native.
• Empathy for the humans behind the product.
• Bachelor's Degree in a Technical field, or equivalent experience.

Requirements

• Experience with IoT, telematics, or embedded/hardware-adjacent systems (nice-to-have).
• Familiarity with Kafka, Kinesis, or other high-throughput streaming platforms (nice-to-have).
• Background with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, DataDog) (nice-to-have).

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for US employees).
• 401(k) plan with company matching program in the US and RRSP with DPSP plan for Canadian employees.
• Paid parental leave.
• Mental Wellness Program & Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
• Generous time off: flexible PTO, companywide holidays, plus summer and winter shutdowns.
• Learning & Development programs.
• Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment.
• Free Life360 Platinum Membership and Tile trackers.
