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 the US and Canada) regardless of any specified location above.
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.
The Revenue Experimentation team (Direct Revenue org) is the engine behind how we grow and monetize Life360 responsibly. We design, ship, and analyze high-velocity experiments across ads, subscriptions, and one-time purchases — pricing, paywalls, ad placement and mediation, upsell and upgrade flows — so every monetization decision is grounded in evidence, not instinct. Our work directly shapes the revenue behind nearly 100 million members. We are a product-minded, AI-Native engineering team. AI isn't just a tool we use — it's how we work. We treat it as a first-class collaborator at every stage: ideation, coding, testing, review, and iteration. We ship faster and go deeper because of it, and we're looking for someone who wants to help define what that looks like at scale.
As a Lead Data Scientist, you will own the path from revenue opportunity to production ML for Direct Revenue, the business unit responsible for growing active users, subscriptions, revenue-generating transactions, and in-app advertising across Life360's more than 100 million monthly active users. You will find the opportunities, size them, agree on priorities with business leads, and ship the models alongside the team's data scientists and engineers.
This role matters now because the team is expanding to cover consumer-facing ads, including recommendations and personalization, and needs a senior scientist who pairs a deep understanding of the problem with the ability to put models into production. In your first year, you will help the team scale the amount of production ML it delivers and help set the team's roadmap with the data science lead and the product manager.
For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $175,000 to $218,000 USD. For candidates based out of Canada, the salary range for this position is $171,500 to $202,500 CAD. We take into consideration an individual's background, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience in determining final salary. Base pay may also vary based on geographic location, with US work locations falling into one of three geographic tiers.
Total compensation is inclusive of equity compensation in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), as well as a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits.
Our company’s mission-driven culture is guided by our shared values to create a trusted work environment where you can bring your authentic self to work and make a positive difference
We believe that different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work environment that delivers better results. Together, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices of our employees. It fuels our innovation and connects us closer to our customers and the communities we serve. We strive to create a workplace that reflects the communities we serve and where everyone feels empowered to bring their authentic best selves to work.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at Life360. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any legally protected status.
We encourage people of all backgrounds to apply. We believe that a diversity of perspectives and experiences create a foundation for the best ideas. Come join us in building something meaningful. Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying!
