Our category-leading mobile app, Tile tracking devices, and Pet GPS tracker empower members to protect the people, pets, and things they care about most with a range of services, including location sharing, safe driver reports, and crash detection with emergency dispatch. Life360 serves approximately 91.6 million monthly active users (MAU), as of September 30, 2025, across more than 180 countries.

Life360 delivers peace of mind and enhances everyday family life with seamless coordination for all the moments that matter, big and small. By continuing to innovate and deliver for our customers, we have become a household name and the must-have mobile-based membership for families (and those friends who are basically family).

Life360 has more than 500 (and growing!) remote-first employees. For more information, please visit life360.com.

Life360 is a Remote First company, which means a remote work environment will be the primary experience for all employees. All positions, unless otherwise specified, can be performed remotely (within Canada) regardless of any specified location above.

About The Team

The Experiences team at Life360 is leading the transformation of our core mobile application into a more dynamic, intuitive, and emotionally engaging product for families. We own the foundational in-app surfaces, such as navigation, home experiences, engagement loops, and contextual interfaces that shape how members interact with Life360 every day.

Our mission is to increase depth and utility of the app, helping members discover value faster and return more frequently. We are driving the overhaul of our information architecture and defining a new north star user experience, with a focus on clarity, speed, and delight. Working closely with design, product, and platform teams, we’re building the systems and experiences that turn Life360 into the everyday operating system for modern families.

We are product-minded and AI‑Native engineers who think in platforms and obsess over building elegant, scalable, and performant UX patterns that serve tens of millions of members across people, pets, and things. We treat AI as an enabler that unlocks unprecedented efficiency and have fully embraced it into our workflow.

About the Job

Life360 is undergoing a major redesign of its mobile application to make it faster, more intuitive, and emotionally engaging for families worldwide. As a Senior Android Engineer on the Experiences team, you will play a key role in executing this vision. You'll contribute to the development of high‑impact surfaces across the Life360 app, including our app navigation, home screen experience, and personalized content surfaces to create valuable engagement loops for our customers.

You’ll work closely with design, product, and platform engineers to bring new experiences to life and evolve how millions of users interact with the Life360 platform every day. You’ll be expected to work with AI tooling natively integrated into your Android development workflow — using it as a daily collaborator for code generation, review, test authoring and ticket generation.

This role is an excellent fit for someone who is an early adopter of AI technologies, values thoughtful user experience, and is excited to contribute to one of the most essential apps for families.

The Canada‑based salary range for this position is $149,500 to $177,500 CAD. 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.

What You’ll Do

• Build and iterate on core app experiences that drive engagement and improve daily utility for Life360 members.
• Develop with AI (Claude) treated as a first‑class collaborator where your role is primarily to orchestrate agents to generate code, review and test
• Implement modular, reusable, maintainable, and performant UI components using modern Android practices such as Jetpack Compose and Kotlin.
• Collaborate with designers and product managers to turn user problems and experience goals into scalable engineering solutions.
• Participate in architectural discussions and contribute to the ongoing Compose migration and app redesign efforts.
• Ensure a high level of UI polish and user experience consistency by creating UX frameworks that orchestrate experiences leveraging our design system.
• Support app performance, accessibility, and reliability through testing, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Conduct thoughtful code reviews and contribute to a strong, inclusive engineering culture.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience building high‑quality Android applications, preferably for consumer‑scale products.
• 2+ years experience prompting and evaluating LLM outputs
• Experience in prompt engineering, agentic workflows, context window management and MCP function calling
• Strong proficiency in Kotlin and modern Android frameworks, including Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, and Architecture Components
• Experience working within or contributing to design systems and reusable UI component libraries
• A clear understanding of Android app architecture, UI performance tuning, and lifecycle management
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset when working with product managers, designers, and cross‑platform teams
• Familiarity with A/B testing frameworks, remote config, or server‑driven UI concepts is a plus
• Experience developing high‑quality, delightful UX experiences

Our Benefits

• Competitive pay and benefits
• Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans
• RRSP plan with DPSP company matching program
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental well being
• Flexible PTO, several company wide days off throughout the year
• Winter and Summer Week‑long Synchronized Company Shutdowns
• Learning & Development programs
• Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment
• Free Life360 Platinum Membership for your preferred circle
