📋 Description

• Build and maintain components and features of Devices Cloud services — telemetry ingest, state management, command/control, and data pipelines — with a focus on quality and reliability. • Own well-defined features and smaller designs from implementation through production, breaking down tasks and delivering accurate estimates with occasional guidance. • Use AI-native engineering practices in your daily work: AI assistants for coding, testing, refactoring, and debugging, while owning and reviewing everything you ship. • Work with firmware, mobile, product, and platform teams to implement APIs and integrations across the hardware-software boundary. • Contribute to cross-team efforts, and escalate risks and blockers early. • Thoroughly test your own code to catch logic issues before integration, and learn cross-functional requirements around security and scalability. • Follow code review best practices, give and receive constructive feedback, 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 to your team and manager. • Participate in on-call rotation and contribute to incident response and post-mortems.

🎯 Requirements

• 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.) and a desire to deepen your distributed-systems skills. • Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants for real engineering tasks, with the judgment to review and own what you ship. • Solid coding and problem-solving skills, and a habit of self-testing to deliver low-defect work. • A clear communicator who shares progress, asks insightful questions, and explains their work to peers and their manager. • Able to work semi-independently, unblock yourself, and ask for guidance when you need it. • 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
