About The Team

The Developer Experience (DevEx) department plays a pivotal role in shaping how mobile engineering teams build, test, and ship software. DevEx owns the underlying tools, frameworks, and mobile infrastructure that power Life360’s flagship iOS and Android applications and support the mission-critical experiences used by more than 91 million members.

We build the systems that make engineering at Life360 fast, reliable, and enjoyable - from modernizing our mobile architecture, to evolving our build and CI pipelines, to creating internal frameworks, code generation tools, automation utilities, and high-leverage platform abstractions.

Our work directly shapes the foundation on which all mobile features are built, enabling engineers to deliver high-quality, high-impact experiences for families at scale.

About the Job

We are looking for a Staff iOS Engineer to join our Developer Experience (DevEx) organization. You will shape the vision and execution of the tools, frameworks, architecture, and mobile infrastructure that empower mobile product teams to ship high-quality features faster and more reliably.

If you’re passionate about eliminating friction from the development lifecycle, designing elegant platform architectures, and elevating the technical bar of the engineering org, we’d love to meet you.

The US based salary range for this position is $167,000 to $280,000. The Canada-based salary range for this position is 194,000 to 260,000 CAD.

Note: Please be aware that the job title for positions in Canada will be "Developer" in lieu of "Engineer." 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.

• Build, measure, and iterate on developer satisfaction metrics to ensure continuous improvements for our community
• Mentor and lead engineers across the team to elevate code quality, architectural decision-making, and execution velocity

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of experience building and shipping consumer-facing iOS applications at scale, ideally supporting high-MAU products.

• Strong proficiency in Swift, with working knowledge of related mobile languages such as Objective-C
• Proven experience designing and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing infrastructure, and build systems for iOS applications
• A track record of creating or maintaining internal tools, shared libraries, frameworks, or platform-level abstractions that enable multiple product teams to build efficiently and consistently.
• Demonstrated ability to identify friction in the development lifecycle and deliver high-leverage engineering solutions that improve velocity, reliability, and quality across the organization.
• A genuine passion for developer experience, craftsmanship, and empowering engineers to do their best work through better tooling, architecture, and automation.
