About The Team

Life360’s Cloud Success team is a part of the Developer Experience (DevEx) department. We build and maintain the internal developer platform that powers engineering velocity across the company. We design and deliver the tooling, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and developer productivity systems that enable hundreds of engineers to ship confidently and quickly. Cloud Success is at the forefront of Life360’s AI-native engineering transformation - building the foundations that make AI-assisted development the default, not the exception.

About the Job

You’ll join a team that values autonomy, high craft, and direct impact on every engineer at Life360. As a Senior Developer II on the Cloud Success team, you’ll work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and internal platform engineering. You’ll design, build, and evolve systems that improve the reliability, scalability, and developer experience of our internal platform - from CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes tooling to AI-powered developer agents. This is a hands-on role: you’ll balance deep technical execution with cross-team collaboration, directly shaping how engineers across Life360 build and ship software. You’ll be a key contributor to our AI-native engineering transformation, building automation that accelerates the pace of development across the entire engineering org.

The Canada-based salary range for this position is $171,500- $201,000 CAD.
