• Ensure a high level of UI polish and experience consistency by creating frameworks that orchestrate surfaces using Life360’s design system.
• Support app performance, accessibility, and reliability through testing, instrumentation, and continuous improvement.
• Conduct thoughtful code reviews and contribute to a strong, inclusive engineering culture.

What We’re Looking For
