We are AI Native We are building an AI native company where AI is an integral part of how we build and operate. AI tool usage during interviews varies by role. You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance. Your Recruiter will provide clear guidance as you move through the interview process. Undisclosed use of AI not previously discussed with or approved by your Recruiter may impact your candidacy. About The Team The Vertical Experiences team builds the experiences that bring pets into the family — pet profiles, activity timelines, care coordination, lost pet alerts, and third-party integrations. We sit within Life360's Devices org, but our work is squarely in the consumer product layer: building experiences that help families care for, track, and stay connected to their pets. We ship frequently, own our features end to end, and work closely with mobile, design, and product to define what pet ownership looks like inside Life360. We are an AI-Native team. AI isn't an add-on to how we work — it's how we work. We've redesigned our development workflows around AI, using it as a first-class collaborator at every stage: spec writing, code generation, test authoring, incident triage, and system design. We ship faster and go deeper because of it. We're looking for engineers who want to help define what AI-native development looks like for a high-traffic consumer product. About the Job As a Backend Engineer on the Vertical Experiences (Devices Cloud) team, you’ll build and operate the cloud services that power Life360’s connected devices. This role sits at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and mobile, translating real-world device signals into reliable, scalable backend systems. You’ll work on high-throughput, low-latency services that manage device state, ingest telemetry, and enable new device-driven features for millions of members worldwide. The work is hands-on, systems-oriented, and designed for engineers who enjoy solving messy, real-world problems at scale. You don't just use AI tools. You think natively in them. Your primary workflow involves orchestrating agents to create specs, generate code and tests, verify results, and perform reviews. You'll help establish and evolve AI-native engineering practices for the Vertical Experiences team while delivering features that ship to production weekly. 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
