About The Team

The AI Platforms team builds the shared foundation that lets Life360 use AI quickly and safely. Today, that means powering AI adoption and productivity across the company: model access, agent tooling, and the infrastructure our engineers rely on every day. We work side by side with the teams that are reshaping how Life360 builds with agents.

About the Job

As the Director of AI Platforms, you will build and lead the team through a defining shift: from supporting how Life360 works with AI to powering how AI shows up for our members. You will shape how the platform supports AI inference and AI-powered features within our product, reporting to the Chief Information Security Officer with close partnership across our leadership team.

What You’ll Do

• Set the direction for the AI Platforms team, balancing today's internal needs with future product goals.
• Lead and scale the team through strategic hiring and development.
• Build and evolve the shared AI platform: model access and routing, agent runtime, MCP integrations, evals, agent identity, and cost controls.
• Define and own our AI end-user platforms, enabling a multiplayer ecosystem working side by side with agents.
• Partner with core teams to evolve our Agentic PDLC (tools, environments, review practices, and workflows).
• Extend the platform from internal productivity to product, defining how product teams access, run, and monitor AI inference and AI-powered features in production at member scale.
• Drive adoption through paved paths, reusable skills and components, and enablement.
• Partner with Security, Privacy, and Legal to build data handling, auditability, and safeguards into the platform.
• Define and report outcomes that matter, such as adoption, quality, cost per outcome, and time to ship.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of engineering experience.
• 5+ years experience leading engineering teams that build platforms or infrastructure used by other engineers.
• Experience building and operating production AI systems, such as agentic workflows, large language model (LLM) integrations, retrieval, and evaluation.
• Working knowledge of MCP and agent orchestration.
• Familiarity with AI inference in production, including serving, latency, reliability, provider management, and cost.
• Experience driving the adoption of new engineering practices across a large organization through influence.
• Hands-on technical judgment: comfortable reviewing architecture and setting technical direction.
