Senior IT Automation Engineer II (AI Native)

About The Position
Life360 is seeking a Senior IT Automation Engineer II to join their remote-first IT team. This role is a senior individual contributor responsible for automating the IT stack, including SaaS, identity, and infrastructure. The engineer will focus on API integrations, role-based access control (RBAC), and SOX control automation, with a vision to evolve towards AI-driven IT operations. The position involves managing existing low-code automations and developing new ones using a combination of low-code platforms (Tray), code (AWS Lambda), and AI tools. This role is crucial for the IT team's efficiency and collaborates closely with Security, Compliance, and People Operations.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience designing and operating production automation across enterprise SaaS, with deep working knowledge of Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub, AWS, and Atlassian administration and integration.
- Deep understanding of REST APIs, authentication patterns (OAuth, SAML, OIDC, SCIM), and integration tooling such as Postman, Tray, Zapier, GAM, and Terraform.
- Working knowledge of programming concepts in at least one scripting language (Python, JavaScript, Go, Groovy, etc.) — comfortable describing a solution in pseudocode before implementation.
- Hands-on experience implementing role-based access control (RBAC) and supporting SOX or equivalent compliance control automation.
- Comfortable working with IaC frameworks (i.e. Terraform)
- Daily use of AI as a leverage tool in your engineering practice (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot — generating code, debugging integrations, drafting docs), with the curiosity and capability to evolve toward agentic operating methods (MCP, Claude Code, AI sub-agents, autonomous workflows) as the team matures.
- Clear written communication and the ability to produce training materials and standalone documentation that other engineers can pick up and run with.
- Comfort taking over existing low-code automation work — able to read, troubleshoot, and safely modify workflows you didn’t author. Tray experience is a strong plus; equally welcomed: demonstrated ability to ramp on a new low-code platform fast (e.g., a Workato or Zapier expert who can pick up Tray within weeks).
Nice To Haves
- Tray, Airtable, Groovy/ScriptRunner, and/or experience building MCP servers or AI agents in production.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain SOX control automation that reduces manual work for IT and control owners, partnering with Compliance to define time-based and event-based triggers that keep controls executing correctly and on schedule.
- Build API-driven integrations across our SaaS and infrastructure stack — Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub, AWS, and Atlassian — using Tray, Terraform, GAM, and codeless tooling where appropriate.
- Extend our RBAC and access governance tooling, with a focus on automated provisioning, deprovisioning, and entitlement reviews.
- Develop AI- and agent-based workflows that go beyond traditional scripting — building, evaluating, and operating LLM-powered agents (e.g., MCP servers, Claude Code sub-agents) for IT operations, monitoring, and remediation.
- Extend existing workflow systems (Jira, GitHub, AWS) with automation touchpoints to eliminate manual handoffs, and recommend improvements to automations as they age.
- Operate across the trinity of Tray, code (AWS Lambda), and AI — using judgment to graduate stable, low-touch workflows from low-code to code-first homes when the cost-benefit shifts, with AI as the leverage that makes the migration cheap.
- Develop automated monitoring to detect and proactively self-remediate issues, and serve as a senior escalation point for the IT Operations team.
- Maintain clear, current documentation for automation processes, agent behaviors, and integration patterns; mentor teammates on building scalable, observable automation.
- Participate in on-call rotations.
Benefits
- Competitive pay and benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for employees)
- 401(k) plan with company matching program
- Mental Wellness Program & Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental well-being
- Flexible PTO, 13 company-wide days off throughout the year
- Winter and Summer Weeklong Synchronized Company Shutdowns
- Learning & Development programs
- Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment
- Free Life360 Platinum Membership for your preferred circle
