About The Team
The Information Security and Technology team is responsible for keeping Life360 safe — our systems, our employees, and the tens of millions of families who trust us with their location data. That obligation is the starting point. How we meet it is what makes this team different.
We are builders. Security controls that don't get used aren't controls. Compliance programs that create friction without reducing risk aren't programs. We build things that work in production, earn adoption from engineering teams, and get better over time — and we use AI to do it at a scale a traditional team couldn't.
We're also at an inflection point. Life360 is deploying agentic systems into how we build and operate, and the security and governance implications of that are still being worked out — by us, and by the industry. The threat surface is expanding. The compliance frameworks are catching up. The people on this team aren't waiting for either.
About the Job
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) has been on a slow progression from audit binders and manual evidence collection toward policy as code, continuous control testing, and compliance infrastructure that generates its own proof. We're hiring someone already living at that frontier — and ready to push past it.
Life360 is mid-transformation into an AI-native company, which means this role has two jobs running in parallel. The first is building the technical foundation of a modern GRC program: policies version-controlled in Git, controls that self-test, evidence generated by integrations rather than collected by humans, and a TPRM program that reflects how we actually use third parties. SOC 2, ISO 27001, and SOX anchor this work.
The second job is harder and less charted. As Life360 deploys agentic systems into how we build and operate, the policy and control landscape is shifting in real time. Major frameworks are actively working out how to account for autonomous agents, and new control sets are emerging faster than the regulations that require them. You'll anticipate new policy requirements, adapt existing controls, and ensure our governance architecture is ready before the auditors ask.
