Senior Software Engineer II AI-Native, Mobile - Pet Experiences
About The Position
Life360 is seeking a Senior Mobile Engineer for the Pet Experiences team to build and own the iOS and/or Android experiences for their pet product features. This role involves developing features such as activity timelines, care routines, weekly summaries, and lost pet alerts, as well as integrations that extend the app's reach. The engineer will collaborate closely with cloud engineers and product managers to deliver features from specification to production, ensuring quality on their platform and contributing to the team's engineering practices. A key aspect of this role is the AI-Native approach, where AI tools are used as a first-class collaborator in the development workflow, including spec writing, code generation, testing, and incident triage. The ideal candidate will think natively in AI tools, orchestrating agents to create specs, generate code and tests, verify results, and perform reviews. This position is open to iOS or Android specialists, or individuals proficient in both platforms. The company offers a remote-first work environment.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience shipping production iOS or Android applications at scale, or both.
- iOS: deep Swift, Combine/async-await, SwiftUI and/or UIKit, SPM, instrumentation.
- Android: deep Kotlin, coroutines/Flow, Jetpack Compose, Dagger/Hilt, Gradle.
- Hands-on experience prompting, evaluating, and building with LLMs — not just autocomplete, but as a genuine development partner.
- Deep experience with agentic workflows, prompt engineering, context window management, and MCP/function calling.
- A track record of using AI tooling to multiply your own output — faster specs, better test coverage, cleaner code, faster debugging.
- Strong experience with mobile architecture patterns, modularization, and dependency management at scale.
- Experience integrating with REST/gRPC backends, event-driven pipelines, push notifications, and persistent local storage.
- Ability to collaborate across teams (cloud, design, product) and articulate technical tradeoffs clearly.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent
Nice To Haves
- Experience building consumer pet, health, or activity tracking products.
- Familiarity with event-driven data pipelines, time-series activity data, or aggregation services on mobile.
- Background with mobile observability tooling (Firebase Crashlytics, Datadog, Amplitude).
- Experience with automated mobile testing frameworks (XCUITest, Espresso, Maestro, snapshot testing).
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and ship mobile features for pet activity timelines, care coordination, weekly summaries, and lost pet alert flows — using AI (Claude Code) as a first-class collaborator in your daily development workflow.
- Use agentic workflows to increase delivery velocity without sacrificing quality: from generating feature scaffolding to writing and validating test coverage to root cause analysis during incidents.
- Collaborate with cloud, design, and product to define APIs, data contracts, and end-to-end workflows across the pet product surface.
- Consume event-driven data pipelines (trip/dwell events, care routines, Kafka-backed aggregations) and translate them into clear, reliable user experiences.
- Own feature quality on your platform — iOS (Swift, SwiftUI / RIBs, SPM) or Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Dagger) or both.
- Instrument features for observability, crash-free sessions, and quality compliance; partner with the release team on Crashlytics triage.
- Write clean, testable, performant code; contribute to CI/CD automation and improve team-wide engineering standards.
Benefits
- Competitive pay and benefits.
- Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for US employees). We offer supplemental plans for medical and dental for Canadian employees.
- 401(k) plan with company matching program in the US and RRSP with DPSP plan for Canadian employees.
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental wellness.
- Flexible PTO and 12 company wide days off throughout the year.
- Learning & Development programs.
- Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment.
- Free Life360 Platinum Membership for your preferred circle.
