We are AI Native

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

The Product Design team is the creative engine shaping the vision, strategy, and delivery of extraordinary member experiences at Life360. We are a diverse, collaborative group with an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and delight in everything we create. With Life360’s rapid growth and strong business momentum, we have a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact at global scale. At the heart of our mission is a dedication to helping families feel safe, connected, and cared for through the transformative power of design.
This new role is aligned to Ecosystems, an entrepreneurial team focused on identifying, testing, and scaling new value propositions that emerge from integrating external partners’ data and experiences into the Life360 product experience. This is new, zero-to-one work, operating within a fast moving product that succeeds by staying close to customers and partners to learn what creates genuine value for families.

About the Job

We are seeking a transformative design leader who delivers impact through what they create, to join our Life360 Ecosystems team, pioneering the next horizon of the Life360 experience. The ideal candidate thrives in a zero-to-one mindset, bringing strong collaboration and partnership skills to deliver at scale. In this role, you will be at the forefront of shaping how we make everyday family life better—both within our app and across third-party ecosystems.

The US-based salary range for this position is $171,000 to $252,000. 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 DoLead Product Design Across Platforms
  • Drive end-to-end design across Life360's platforms, translating insights and strategy into elegant, scalable solutions aligned with product and business goals.
  • Deeply understand partner apps — their value props, user bases, and technical capabilities — and design experiences that connect them meaningfully to Life360 without disrupting what members already love.
  • Design the in-app experience for how users discover, connect, and manage partner integrations within Life360.
Explore, Prototype, and Innovate
  • Lead early-stage design efforts by rapidly prototyping concepts with AI-native and standard design tooling to test novel user experiences at speed and scale.
  • Map and storyboard user journeys for partner integrations and turn those into visual artifacts stakeholders can quickly react to.
Simplify and Systematize
  • Design frameworks and interaction models that reduce complexity and enhance clarity, performance, and delight.
  • Develop scalable patterns used across product teams to elevate and unify design standards.
Collaborate and Influence
  • Partner across Product, Engineering, Brand, and Research to deliver high-quality outcomes and influence strategy with a strong design point of view.
  • Present insights and solutions at both the IC and C level that impact the business and roadmap.
Mentor and Lead by Example
  • Guide and mentor fellow designers, modeling exceptional craft, curiosity, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Champion design culture and innovation by sharing best practices and bringing in inspiration from across industries.
What We’re Looking For
  • 10+ years of experience designing for mobile-first, consumer-facing products, including location-based and or health/fitness and wellness features.
  • Experience with design partner programs and systems of continuous feedback with early access customers.
  • Strong UI/UX craft with a portfolio demonstrating elegant, data-informed solutions to complex problems.
  • Experience designing with and for AI-enhanced experiences.
  • Skilled in rapid prototyping, with a bias toward agency, exploration and iteration with a proven ability to close the gap and deliver a scalable feature or product.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling abilities—able to influence across functions and levels.
  • Systems thinker with a track record of creating scalable frameworks and design processes.
  • Positive, collaborative mindset—brings energy, curiosity, and humility to every challenge.

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!

AI-Native Expectations 

We're building toward AI-native design as a team standard — actively exploring what works, sharing what we learn, and raising the floor together. Here's what that means in practice:

  • Curiosity and experimentation: You actively explore AI tools to understand what they can (and can't) do for design work — research synthesis, concept generation, critique, content, system documentation. Some experiments will fail. That's part of it.
  • Judgment and ownership: AI-generated work gets the same critical eye you'd give any design review. You evaluate outputs against user needs, brand, and product goals — and you're accountable for everything you ship.
  • Better work, not just faster work: When AI is working well, it helps you make better decisions — not just move faster. You're always asking whether it's actually improving the outcome, not just the output.
  • Team leadership: You share what works. You bring workflows, prompts, and tools back to the team.
  • Continuous learning: The tooling is changing fast. You stay curious, stay current, and speak up when something would meaningfully improve how we work.
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
  • Mental Wellness Program & Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental well being
  • Flexible PTO, 13 company wide days off throughout the year & paid Holiday Shutdown
  • Learning & Development programs
  • Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment
  • Free Life360 Platinum Membership for your preferred circle
  • Free Tile Products
