About the company
Life360 has more than 500 (and growing!) remote-first employees. For more information, please visit life360.com., We are building an AI Native company where AI is an integral part of how we build and operate. AI tool usage during interviews varies by role. You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance. Your Recruiter will provide clear guidance as you move through the interview process.
Undisclosed use of AI not previously discussed with or approved by your Recruiter may impact your candidacy. About The Team
Life360βs IT team exists to enable our 500+ remote-first employees to be equipped, productive, and secure, wherever theyβre working from. That means owning the identity, endpoint, infrastructure, and collaboration experience end to end, and treating the services it owns as a product. IT reports to our CISO and sits right next to Information Security, and the two teams work as true partners with decisions made together, not thrown over a wall. That partnership matters even more as Life360 leans further into an AI Native way of working: shaping what that looks like day to day means working closely with other key partners like People, Finance, and Legal, not building in isolation. About the Job
Weβre hiring a Director of IT to own IT Operations and IT Engineering end to end; enterprise identity, endpoint management, corporate infrastructure, collaboration tooling, and the service model our distributed workforce depends on. This opportunity will allow you to reimagine how IT operates in an AI Native environment and bring an engineering mindset to how the function runs: structured, automated, and metrics-driven. This is a role for someone who wants to take an IT function to its next stage of maturity, not just keep it running as-is. Youβll have the agency and runway to set the strategy, build the playbooks, and lead the team to the next level. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader who has scaled IT operations and engineering in high growth environments, carries strong engineering principles, and can operate with a safety first mindset.
A year in, this function is a genuine strategic partner across the business - anticipating technology and infrastructure needs and building the roadmaps that mature alongside Life360βs growth. Employees experience IT as a real productivity advantage: fast, reliable tools and a technical experience theyβre glad to have. Every request is handled quickly, cleanly, and with real care. The budget is well-managed and forecasted with confidence. AI tooling and automation are woven into how the team operates, creating capacity for high-value, forward-looking work. ITβs operational excellence also strengthens Life360βs security and compliance posture, with clean identity management, strong asset visibility, and access controls that hold up confidently under audit. And the team is one people are proud to be part of; strong morale, strong retention, and a genuine draw for top IT talent who want to do their best work.
The US-based salary range for this position is $167,000 to $245,000. We take into consideration an individualβs background, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience in determining final salary. Base pay may also vary based on geographic location, with US work locations falling into one of three geographic tiers.
