Software Engineer II AI-Native, Backend Devices Cloud

About the role

The Devices Cloud team owns the backend services that power Life360's fleet of connected hardware - Tile trackers, Jiobit wearables, Pet GPS trackers, and emerging device categories. We manage real-time device state, high-frequency telemetry ingest, and the cloud infrastructure that translates physical-world signals into reliable, family-facing experiences. Our work sits at the intersection of hardware, firmware, mobile, and platform - and runs at a scale where correctness and reliability aren't optional. 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 backend development looks like for complex, hardware-connected systems. As a Backend Engineer II on the Devices Cloud team, you will build and improve the cloud services that power Life360's connected hardware - Tile trackers, Jiobit wearables, and emerging device categories. You own well-defined components and features across device state management, telemetry ingest, and the integration layer that connects physical hardware to family-facing experiences. You work with growing independence. You contribute to technical designs, own smaller designs yourself, break down tasks, and deliver reliable, well-tested code with occasional guidance from senior engineers. You collaborate with firmware, mobile, platform, and data teams, and you continue to deepen your technical skills. Your work helps power experiences for tens of millions of families daily. You are also growing as an AI-native engineer. You use AI as a first-class collaborator across coding, testing, and debugging, learn the practices that work on the team, and take full ownership of everything you ship. For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $118,000 - $161,500 USD. For candidates based out of Canada, the salary range for this position is 136,500 to 149,500 CAD. Note: Please be aware that the job title for positions in Canada will be "Developer" in lieu of "Engineer." Note: We take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary - therefore, base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The compensation package includes a wide range of medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits, as well as equity.

Responsibilities

• 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 hard
