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 Data & Analytics team is building Life360 's next-generation data platform — powering real-time decision-making, experimentation, ML, and large-scale analytics. We operate at significant scale and complexity in a high-ambiguity environment, and we expect engineers to own problems, drive clarity, and raise the bar across the org.
We're looking for a high-intensity engineer who wants to envision, design, and build high-impact data products with cutting-edge tools — all while keeping our members ahead of the metrics. You'll become the go-to person for data products across the business, joining a collaborative team that communicates openly, celebrates wins together, and is committed to helping everyone do their best work.
About the Job
At Life360 , we collect a lot of data: tens of billions of unique location points, tens of billions of user actions, billions of miles driven every single month, and so much more. As a Senior Data Engineer II, you will enhance and maintain our data processing and storage pipelines for a robust and secure data lakehouse. We're looking for a strong engineering background — and just as important, a genuine desire to take ownership and make our data systems world class.
The US-based salary range for this position is $148,000 to $216,500. 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
Primary responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Design, build, and maintain scalable, distributed data pipelines and systems — from ingestion through ELT to storage — supporting streaming and batch processing for real-time analytics, ML, and experimentation.
Automate, test, and harden data workflows to ensure reliability at scale.
Architect logical and physical data models that meet evolving business needs.
Build and maintain features for ML models.
Collaborate with product, analytics, and data science teams to turn data into value.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience working with high volume data infrastructure.
Deep expertise with a modern cloud data warehouse or lakehouse platform (Databricks preferred; Snowflake, BigQuery, or similar also considered) on a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Proficient in Python and SQL, with the ability to write and optimize complex queries.
Hands-on experience with dbt.
Experience with large-scale data processing using Spark and/or Presto/Trino.
Strong grasp of data modeling, partitioning strategies, storage formats, and analytical workload optimization.
Hands-on experience leveraging LLMs for code generation, analysis, and related work — including reviewing AI-generated output with a close eye on quality, standards, and testing, and owning it as your own.
Experience with modern data engineering tooling — orchestration (Airflow, Databricks Workflows), CI/CD (GitHub Actions), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, DABs).
BS in Computer Science, Information Systems, Management Information Systems, Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, Engineering (Computer, Electrical, or Software), or a related quantitative field.
AI-Native Expectations
The team leverages LLMs to support code generation, analysis, and other use cases. Your experience with AI / LLM usage should include managing code generation with a close eye on quality, standards, and testing — owning the outputs as your own. Your work with and ability to leverage these tools will drive your velocity and ability to effectively work within our environment.
Nice to Have
Experience working with an experimentation framework.
Experience designing and maintaining real-time streaming architectures.
