📋 Description

• Define, communicate, and execute an infrastructure vision in partnership with functional counterparts, aligned with Life360's broader goals. • Align infrastructure investment with business objectives in close collaboration with the executive team. • Build build/deploy pipelines, internal tooling, and self-service platforms that enable engineering, product, and design teams to ship faster, including AI-powered capabilities. • Maintain secure, cost-effective infrastructure scalability as user growth and workload complexity increase. • Own uptime, latency, observability, and disaster recovery for systems serving tens of millions of families. • Recruit, mentor, and grow a world-class infrastructure and platform engineering team. • Foster engineering craft, innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. • Partner with Engineering, Data Science/ML, Security, and Product leaders on strategic infrastructure initiatives, including compute and platform needs for AI-powered features. • Shape technical strategy to scale toward 2028 goals of 150M monthly active users and $1B+ in revenue. • Help the engineering organization adopt AI-native ways of working.

🎯 Requirements

• A degree in Computer Science or a related field. • A seasoned infrastructure/platform engineering leader with a track record of building stellar teams. • Many years of experience leading large-scale infrastructure or platform engineering organizations, including leading through managers or directors. • Deep technical fluency in distributed systems and cloud architecture. • A track record of scaling infrastructure for consumer products at massive scale — from iterative reliability improvements to big-bet platform investments. • Direct experience with, or meaningful involvement in, an organization's shift toward AI-native ways of working. Leading it isn't required, but you've seen it from the inside. • A bias for speed — constantly pushing to try new things, and learning quickly from what doesn't work to find what does. • Strong instincts for data — comfortable digging into cost, performance, and reliability metrics to spot what's working and what isn't, and using KPIs on reliability and cost efficiency to guide decisions. • A background at companies known for engineering excellence and resilient, high-performing platforms. • Strategic thinking paired with strong storytelling — the ability to motivate and inspire a team around a shared technical vision. • A genuine conviction that robust, well-designed infrastructure is a competitive differentiator — the invisible foundation that makes great user experiences possible. • A hands-on approach — comfortable delegating, but ultimately owns everything the team ships. • A reputation for having tough, direct conversations while staying kind and respectful. • Comfort with risk-taking and big swings, and making decisions with incomplete information. • Alignment with our values: Be a Good Person; Be Direct, with Respect; Members Before Metrics; High Intensity, High Impact.

🏖️ Benefits
