Life360 serves approximately 66 million monthly active users (MAU) across more than 150 countries.

Life360 delivers peace of mind and enhances everyday family life with seamless coordination for all the moments that matter, big and small.

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 the US) regardless of any specified location above.

The Revenue Org at Life360 focuses on three important pillars of our product’s success: revenue growth opportunities, our new ads business, and globalization of Life360. We leverage rapid experimentation and cutting-edge technologies to continually increase Life360’s value proposition to our members.

Our teams own critical member-facing features such as authentication, onboarding, SOS, crash detection, and roadside assistance features, the latter of which help protect millions of families every day.

Our teams are motivated by impact, thrive when empowered with high agency, are always curious, and build with engineering excellence as a first principle.

Life360's ambitious goals are to hit $1 billion in revenue and 150 monthly active users by 2028. To achieve these goals, we are laser-focused on our hypothesis-driven experimentation approach to feature development. We build mobile experiences by testing first, iterating, then rolling out incrementally, all while measuring impact along the way.

This role combines deep product engineering leadership with an experimentation and global-first mindset. You’ll design and build foundational in-app experiences that deepen engagement and expand Life360's utility and safety aspects for every member.

In addition, you’ll help expand Life360’s global footprint by ensuring internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) are built into our product from day one. You’ll also lead development of market-specific features to help tailor our product-market-fit for European, Asian, and Latin American regions.

Your technical leadership will directly shape how families interact with the app worldwide and help Life360 grow to be the #1 brand that improves everyday family life.
