About the role

  • Our mission is to unlock more value for these members and the families around them, with features that help people stay safe, connected, and sane amidst the chaos of everyday family life.
  • We are also responsible for the payment infrastructure and monetization strategy.
  • We are a product-minded, AI-Native engineering team.

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Support performance, reliability, and accessibility across the features you own.
  • You'll be central to how the Growth team builds its products, develops its services, and how we use AI for development in the future.
  • You'll design and build features and systems to help grow Life360's payments infrastructure, product integrations, alerting and monitoring, everything.
  • You'll build and evolve our modern AI-Native engineering workflows - from how we write code, to how we run standups, to how we think about team velocity.
  • Our company's mission-driven culture is guided by our shared values to create a trusted work environment where you can bring your authentic self to work and make a positive difference.
  • Members Before Metrics - We focus on building an exceptional experience for families.

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
  • Growth mindset - You structure problems precisely, you learn quickly, you can show interest outside "your lane", and you are always happy to try something new
  • Thoughtful communication - You can explain technical tradeoffs and articulate ideas effectively
  • We're happy to help you grow into areas where you have less experience.

Nice to have

  • Background in stream processing frameworks (Kafka Streams, Flink)
  • Experience with schema registries and schema evolution strategies
  • Knowledge of Confluent Platform or Confluent Cloud
  • Understanding of CI/CD patterns, GitHub Actions, and artifact management (Maven, Nexus)
  • Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog)
  • Previous work on ecosystems or integration tooling
  • Comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and containerized deployments
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent

Compensation

  • For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $148,000 to $216,000 USD.
  • For candidates based out of Canada, the salary range for this position is 171,500 to 201,000 CAD.

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.
  • 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.

Company info

  • The Growth team at Life360 is responsible for building the next frontier of meaningful connection for our Subscribers and paying customers - our mission is to deepen Life360's peace-of-mind platform beyond the existing product offerings of crash detection, safety incidents, roadside support, and more.

  • We've redesigned our team workflows around
