About the Job

The newly formed AI Growth Enablement team sits at the intersection of Product, Data Science, and Engineering. Our charter is to unlock step-function growth in users, subscribers, and revenue by building shared AI/ML capabilities — including but not limited to experimentation and automation tools, generative AI models, predictive-model APIs, and self-serve tooling—that accelerate decision-making, experimentation and automation across multiple product teams. You’ll partner closely with Data Scientists and other Cloud engineers in the Growth organization, as well as Data Analysis teams and mobile enigneers, to turn data and models into delightful, effective experiences at scale, and to empower each team to leverage AI/ML in the most effective way to drive user and revenue growth.

Come join us as we build the infrastructure to handle our ever growing user base. We will continue to break down our monolith in favor of microservices that service our mobile clients today. You will be working alongside our Architecture and Product teams to move fast as we expand the business to build a recommendation engine that empowers rapid experimentation.

Together, we will build systems that are strong and reliable to uphold a heavy load, yet malleable to fit many product demands. 

For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $155,000 to $228,000 USD. For candidates based out of Canada, the salary range for this position is $176,000 to $206,000 CAD. We take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary- therefore, base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The compensation package includes a wide range of medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits, as well as equity.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with Product, Data Science, and Cloud Engineering to design and deploy ML models that power personalization, experimentation, and automation use cases
  • Build, productionize, and maintain real-time model APIs for recommendations, predictive targeting, and generative AI experiences
  • Work with backend and mobile engineers to integrate model outputs directly into user-facing features
  • Contribute to the development of self-serve ML infrastructure to accelerate experimentation across product teams
  • Design and implement feature pipelines, model training workflows, and scalable inference systems
  • Collaborate on our long-term vision for a flexible, extensible ML platform that supports multiple use cases across Growth and Core product teams
  • Monitor and maintain model health, performance, and drift in production
  • Example: Build the recommendation engine that helps Life360 surface the most relevant feature or plan to the right user at the right time
  • Example: Deploy an ML model to predict the optimal moment to nudge a user to subscribe to Premium
  • Example: Create infrastructure for personalized notifications that adapt in real time to user behavior
  • Monitor health, suggest improvements for and deploy your own services
  • Mentor other developers who are trying to grow
  • Build technical specs with Staff engineers
  • Handle on call rotation and address live incidents

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Applied Math, or a similar quantitative field—or equivalent industry experience
  • 5+ years of professional experience in building and deploying ML models in production
  • Strong proficiency in Python or Java, model development libraries (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn), and ML Ops tools
  • Experience with serving ML models behind scalable APIs with low-latency performance requirements
  • Ability to design, build, and manage real-time and batch data pipelines, ideally in collaboration with Data Engineering
  • Knowledge of experiment design, A/B testing, and causal inference methods for ML product validation - bonus if you have experience with StatSig
  • Familiarity with microservices architecture, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and modern deployment pipelines
  • Comfortable collaborating cross-functionally with mobile, backend, and data platform teams
  • Bonus: Experience building recommendation systems or ranking models
  • Bonus: Experience integrating models into mobile client applications
  • Bonus: Familiarity with streaming systems like Kafka 
  • Bonus for experience working with Kafka Streams
  • At Life360 we use certain technologies, experience with these technologies will serve you well: AWS (EC2, EKS, DynamoDB, Kinesis), databases (MySql), Languages (Java, Python, PHP) 

 

We value having a diverse and inclusive community from many backgrounds, so even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying!

Our Benefits

  • Competitive pay and benefits
  • Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for employees)
  • 401(k) plan with company matching program
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental wellness.
  • Flexible PTO and 12 company wide days off throughout the year
  • Learning & Development programs

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
