📋 Description

• Design, build, and operate Devices Cloud services — device connectivity, telemetry ingest, state management, command/control, and data pipelines — ensuring they are scalable, secure, and reliable at Life360's scale. • Own complete features and subsystems from technical design through production, breaking down complex work, identifying dependencies, and delivering accurate estimates. • Apply AI-native engineering practices day to day: use AI assistants for spec writing, code generation, test coverage, and incident response, and share the prompting strategies that work with the team. • Partner with firmware, mobile, product, and platform teams to define APIs and integration patterns that translate cleanly across the hardware-software boundary. • Lead medium-sized, cross-functional initiatives, coordinating the work of other engineers and keeping delivery on track. • Identify risks, bottlenecks, and security gaps in your areas of ownership, and build in the automation and tests that prevent regressions. • Mentor junior engineers: coach them on structuring changes for review, conduct thorough code reviews, and help grow their skills. • Communicate progress, trade-offs, and technical concepts clearly to peers, partner teams, and your manager. • Write clear, concise technical specifications, and contribute to team documentation and knowledge sharing. • Participate in on-call rotation and contribute to high-severity incident response and post-mortems.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building and operating backend or cloud infrastructure systems, ideally including some IoT, telematics, or hardware-adjacent work. • Track record of owning complete features and subsystems, contributing to technical design, and leading medium-sized projects to delivery. • Strong experience with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS: EKS, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, Kinesis, etc.), distributed systems, and data pipelines. • Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants for substantive engineering work, with the judgment to review and own everything you ship. • Experience mentoring junior engineers and helping raise team-wide engineering standards. • Strong communication skills: able to explain technical concepts clearly to peers, partner teams, and managers. • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and managing competing priorities within and across teams. • 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

• 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. • Winter and Summer Weeklong 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
