The ideal candidate will have strong proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, experience with distributed systems, and a deep understanding of AI-native development practices.

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.
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. 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. That means AI isn’t just a tool we use — it’s how we work. We’ve redesigned our team workflows around AI, treating it as a first-class collaborator at every stage: ideation, coding, testing, review, and iteration. We ship faster and go deeper because of it, and we’re looking for someone who wants to help define what that looks like at scale.
Life360 is hiring an AI-Native Backend Focused Engineer — a senior engineer who doesn’t just use AI tools, but thinks natively in them. 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. You’ll evolve the standard others follow.
We use AI coding tools as a professional standard on this team. Here's what that means in practice:
