About the Team

The Mobile Testing Platforms (MTP) team, situated within Life360’s Developer Experience (DevX) organization, plays a critical role in empowering our mobile engineering teams. MTP builds the internal tools, automation frameworks, CI/CD capabilities, and emerging AI-driven utilities that enable developers to ship high-quality mobile experiences quickly and confidently.

The team focuses on improving testability, streamlining development workflows, and driving “quality as code” across iOS and Android. With weekly mobile releases and a rapidly evolving ecosystem, MTP works at the intersection of mobile engineering, automation, and platform reliability—creating high-impact systems that scale across the entire company.

This role offers strong growth opportunities, close collaboration with DevX and mobile platform teams, and the ability to shape tooling used by hundreds of engineers.

About the Job

As a Software Engineer II on the Developer Experience (DevX) team, you will help shape and elevate the mobile engineering ecosystem at Life360. You’ll design and build tools, frameworks, and automation that streamline workflows, improve testability, reduce friction, and increase overall engineering efficiency.

You will work independently on well-defined outcomes, break down complex problems, and deliver solutions that directly improve the experience of hundreds of engineers across the organization.

The Canada-based salary range for this position is $136,500 to $149,500 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

  • Design, build, and maintain internal mobile development tools, utilities, and frameworks that enhance developer productivity and experience.
  • Improve and optimize mobile CI/CD pipelines, integrating quality gates, guardrails, automated reporting, and developer-focused enhancements.
  • Investigate and debug complex issues within the engineering ecosystem, delivering scalable, durable solutions across tooling, automation, and system components.
  • Codify engineering best practices into actionable systems such as pre-commit checks, guardrails, gating mechanisms, and automated quality enforcement.
  • Troubleshoot issues across the mobile stack and propose scalable solutions that support long-term reliability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify developer pain points and deliver high-impact improvements.
  • Work independently to break down requirements, clarify deliverables, and ship features or tools with minimal supervision.
  • Contribute to documentation, design reviews, and knowledge-sharing sessions within the team.
  • Champion engineering excellence in testing, performance, developer experience, and code quality.

What We’re Looking For

  • 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience in iOS, Android, or cross-platform mobile development (Swift, Kotlin, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of mobile architectures, design patterns, debugging, and performance optimization.
  • Experience building internal tools that improve development workflows, automation, or testability.
  • Solid understanding of CI/CD systems (Buildkite, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar).
  • Experience with unit, integration, and UI testing, plus familiarity with mocking/stubbing frameworks.
  • Proven ability to work independently, manage complexity, and deliver against defined outcomes and timelines.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Comfortable collaborating across cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.

Bonus Points

  • Experience on developer productivity, platform, or infrastructure engineering teams.
  • Hands-on experience with Buildkite or mobile-focused CI pipelines.
  • Experience with mobile automation frameworks (XCTest, Espresso, Appium, etc.).
  • Experience building observability or test-analytics tooling (e.g., Datadog dashboards, automated reporting).
  • Background improving build speed, startup time, or core app performance metrics.
  • Contributions to open-source tools or developer-focused frameworks.
  • Familiarity with feature flagging, dogfooding systems, or experimentation platforms.
  • Experience using modern AI tools, including:
    • Agentic automation frameworks for testing, analysis, or developer productivity
    • Prompt engineering for improving developer workflows or debugging
    • AI-driven insights integrated into tooling, pipelines, or test systems

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

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
