[Remote] iOS Engineer II (AI Native), Family AI Lab – San Francisco Bay Area
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Life360 is a company focused on keeping families connected through innovative technology, including a leading mobile app and location-based services. The iOS Engineer II role involves transforming rough ideas into tangible products, collaborating closely with design and product teams to create an AI-powered family operating system. The position emphasizes rapid prototyping and iterative development within a startup-like environment.
Responsibilities
- Primarily remote with the flexibility to collaborate in-person as business needs and projects require
- Take rough ideas (sketches, voice memos, half-finished docs) and turn them into something real and clickable, fast. The first version is usually the same day
- Build prototypes for the surfaces that make the product tangible: the map, widgets, Live Activities, Dynamic Island, voice, in-app moments where information surfaces automatically. (These are iOS-native surfaces — you've shipped at least a few of them.)
- Make tasteful UI calls without waiting for design to spec every pixel. Design refines. You get it 80% there
- Sit in the room when product direction gets debated. Push back when something doesn't feel right. We need engineers who are part of the conversation, not waiting for the output
- Use AI tooling aggressively. Orchestrate agents to generate code, write tests, and review your work. The whole point of this team is that a small group with the right tools outperforms a much larger one
- Ship to test groups, watch how people actually use what you built, iterate. The feedback loop is short and you are inside it
Skills
- Deep experience building consumer mobile or web products that real people use
- Zero-to-one stage experience and the desire to do it again
- Taste. You can articulate why one design works and another doesn't
- You can move from a blank screen to a working prototype without anyone holding your hand
- Deep in Swift and SwiftUI
- AI-native in your daily workflow
- You operate without a spec
- You ship every day (or close to it)
- You push for more
- You hold strong opinions and change them when the evidence moves
- You're a customer of what we build
- Experience with Apple Foundation Model, App Intent
- Hands-on with Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent
- Deep experience with agentic workflows, prompt engineering, context window management, MCP / function calling
- Map-based or location-driven product work
