You’ll shape our technical strategy to scale reliably toward our 2028 goals of 150M monthly active users and $1B+ in revenue, and help the engineering organization adopt AI-native ways of working. What You’ll Do

While this is a leadership role and we expect you to be well-rounded across all areas, the specific areas of emphasis will be on the following pillars:

• Strategic Leadership - Define, communicate, and execute an infrastructure vision in partnership with your functional counterparts that complements Life360’s broader goals. Align infrastructure investment with business objectives in close collaboration with the executive team.
• Developer Productivity & Enablement - Build the build/deploy pipelines, internal tooling, and self-service platforms that let engineering, product, and design teams ship faster - including AI-powered capabilities - without compromising security, privacy, or cost discipline. Bring firsthand experience helping an organization move toward AI-native ways of working, whether you drove that shift or were a meaningful part of it.
• Reliability & Scalability - Keep infrastructure scaling securely and cost-effectively as user growth and workload complexity increase. Uptime, latency, observability, and disaster recovery are non-negotiables for systems serving tens of millions of families.
• Team Leadership & Culture - Recruit, mentor, and grow a world-class infrastructure and platform engineering team. Act as a strong voice for engineering craft and culture, and foster innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Cross-Functional Alignment - Partner closely with Engineering, Data Science/ML, Security, and Product leaders to plan and execute strategic infrastructure initiatives, including the compute and platform needs that support AI-powered features.

• 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.
