About The Team

The Foundry team is building Life360’s partner ecosystem and developer platform - the infrastructure that allows external partners to integrate with Life360 securely and at scale. We own the full integration stack: partner-facing APIs, authentication flows, webhook receipt and delivery, and the gateway layer that decouples partner contracts from internal systems. Our goal is to turn Life360 from a single-product app into an extensible platform that partners across mobility, safety, wearables, and more can build on.

We also own critical shared infrastructure that the rest of the company depends on - NetworkKit, authentication, and environment standardization across all mobile clients. We’re a cross-platform team spanning Cloud, Android, and iOS, and we think in systems: stable API contracts, sandboxed environments, versioning policies, and operational SLAs. The developer platform we’re building is modeled on the best of Stripe, Twilio, and Squarespace - designed so that onboarding a new partner takes weeks, not months.

About the Job

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 Foundry team builds its products, develops its ecosystem tooling, and how we use AI for development in the future.

You’ll design and build features and systems to help grow Life360s partner ecosystem, helping take our platform from zero to one - building out auth, system proxying, 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.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build high-quality features integrating third party data and systems.
• 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.
• Help define and codify AI-Native engineering practices for the Foundry team, establishing playbooks the broader org can adopt.
