About the Job

Life360 protects what matters most - 90+ million people trust us with their family's safety and location data every day. We're seeking a Staff Product Security Engineer to architect and implement a world-class DevSecOps program that makes security invisible to developers while making our products impenetrable to adversaries.

This isn't a checkbox compliance role. You'll build the security infrastructure that enables 200+ engineers to ship faster because of security, not despite it. You'll be the technical force behind transforming our SDLC into a secure-by-default pipeline where vulnerabilities are caught in the IDE, not in production.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Staff Product Security Engineer to help establish and mature Life360's Product Security program. This role will focus on embedding security into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) through DevSecOps practices, defining secure architecture, and the development of secure enablement tooling. The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in application security, threat modeling, security tooling deployment (particularly ASPM platforms), and the ability to work as a security consultant with product and engineering teams. This person will play a critical role in creating secure-by-default paths for new features and products, ensuring we protect the location data and family safety features that millions of users trust us with.

What You'll Build

Security Infrastructure & Automation:

• Deploy and operationalize Cycode ASPM platform (or equivalent) as the central nervous system for application security—unifying SAST, SCA, secret scanning, container security, and IaC scanning into actionable intelligence
• Build IDE-to-cloud security pipelines that catch vulnerabilities at code-write time, eliminating 90% of findings before merge
• Create security-as-code frameworks that make the secure path the default path
• Automate vulnerability triage, deduplication, and routing to eliminate manual security toil

Secure Development Enablement:

• Design and deploy pre-approved security patterns, libraries, and templates that enable developers to build securely without security expertise
• Establish threat modeling as a lightweight, scalable practice integrated into product planni
