About Life360

Life360’s mission is to keep people close to the ones they love. Our category-leading mobile app and Tile tracking devices empower members to protect the people, pets, and things they care about most with a range of services, including location sharing, safe driver reports, and crash detection with emergency dispatch. Life360 serves approximately 88 million monthly active users (MAU), as of June 2025 across more than 180 countries.

Life360 delivers peace of mind and enhances everyday family life with seamless coordination for all the moments that matter, big and small. By continuing to innovate and deliver for our customers, we have become a household name and the must-have mobile-based membership for families (and those friends that basically are family).

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 Canada) regardless of any specified location above.

About The Team

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.

About the Job

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.

You will hit the ground running by taking a look at our experimentation infrastructure and work on a plan to help us release more A/B tests in a safe and fast manner.

The Canada-based salary range for this position is $195,500 to $230,000 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.

  • Collaborate with Design and Product to evolve how members move through and experience the app, from onboarding to daily use, ensuring fast, intuitive, and delightful interaction patterns
  • Design and develop reusable, high-performance components and tools that unlock faster experimentation, iteration, and cross-team collaboration
  • Champion engineering excellence, app performance, quality, and reliability, particularly in the context of complex, global, location and safety-focused mobile applications
  • Mentor and lead engineers across the team to elevate code quality, architectural decision-making, and execution velocity

What We’re Looking For

  • 8+ years of experience building consumer-facing Android applications at scale, ideally for high-MAU products
  • Deep expertise in Kotlin and modern Android development (Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, Architecture Components
  • Track record of building and leading complex UI systems with a focus on performance, modularity, scalability, and accessibility
  • Hands-on implementation using feature flagging, experimentation and launch control platforms for safely scaling feature changes
  • Strong understanding of app architecture, lifecycle management, dependency injection, and navigation paradigms
  • Test automation experience using frameworks such as JUnit, Mockito, and Espresso

Bonus

  • Experience supporting growth experimentation initiatives
  • Background in location-aware or contextual apps
  • Experience with Google billing and subscription system
  • AI-powered developer productivity tools experience (beyond ChatGPT)

Our Benefits

  • Competitive pay and benefits
  • Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans
  • RRSP plan with DPSP company matching program
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental well being
  • Flexible PTO, several company wide days off throughout the year
  • Winter and Summer Week-long Synchronized Company Shutdowns
  • Learning & Development programs
  • Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment
  • Free Life360 Platinum Membership for your preferred circle
