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

Security and IT at Life360 operate as a single integrated function — and we're building it like one. That means treating identity infrastructure the way engineering teams treat product infrastructure: owned in code, measured with data, and continuously improved. You'll own Enterprise IAM at Life360 — setting the architecture, engineering standards, and program direction for how every employee accesses every system, at a company that handles sensitive location data for nearly 100 million users. AI is core to how this team operates day to day — from drafting and validating IaC changes to automating access-review workflows — so identity engineering here means designing systems that pair automation with human judgment, not replacing one with the other. 

About the Job

We're looking for a Sr. IAM Engineer who thinks in systems, writes code to solve operational problems, and treats identity as a platform discipline. You'll own the full enterprise identity stack: how it's architected, how it's measured, and how it scales as we grow. The foundation is in place now and we need someone to drive the design, automation, and governance layers forward. We're building toward a metrics-first operating model, and you'll build the instrumentation that makes that real. You'll partner with HR, Security, and Engineering, and you'll be expected to replace manual processes with durable, testable code wherever it exists. In your first year, success looks like a consolidated Okta footprint with orphaned accounts and stale SSO integrations cleaned up, access reviews running on a measurable cadence, and identity provisioning largely codified in Terraform rather than handled manually. 

For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $91,000 to $169,000 USD. For candidates based out of Canada, the salary range for this position is 132,000 to 157,000 CAD. Note: Please be aware that the job title for positions in Canada will be "Developer" in lieu of "Engineer." 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

Own the enterprise identity platform as an engineering system — architect SSO integrations, lifecycle workflows, MFA policy, and group provisioning in Okta using IaC as the source of truth; configuration drift is a bug, not a ticket

Engineer the identity lifecycle management layer — design access control models and codify provisioning/deprovisioning workflows in IaC, partnering with HR systems to eliminate manual access operations and return clean provisioning capability to the helpdesk tier

Engineer access governance across the cloud and SaaS portfolio — own role assignments, group structures, and access controls across cloud infrastructure and collaboration platforms; design and automate periodic access reviews so auditability is structural, not procedural

Harden the device-to-identity trust boundary — own device trust integrations between our identity provider and MDM platforms, ensuring device compliance signals are correctly evaluated in access policy and that the control surface is fully codified

Rationalize and consolidate legacy identity surface — lead the technical cleanup of orphaned accounts, stale SSO integrations, and guest access sprawl across the SaaS portfolio; treat this as technical debt reduction with measurable outcomes

Build the IAM measurement layer — define, instrument, and track KPIs (access review completion rates, provisioning latency, orphaned account age, ticket volume trends) that justify investment decisions and demonstrate program maturity to Security leadership

Define the identity layer of our access request platform — architect the entitlement structures and access controls exposed through our self-service access tooling; codify the configuration in IaC and own the integration contract between identity infrastructure and the employee-facing access experience

Contribute to a unified service catalog — ensure identity workflows are clearly surfaced through a single employee-facing entry point and that the handoff between self-service and engineer-owned provisioning is unambiguous

Use AI coding agents as a first-class part of the identity engineering workflow — draft and validate Terraform modules, provisioning logic, and access-policy changes with AI assistance, and own review of anything AI-generated before it reaches production identity infrastructure

What We’re Looking For

Production experience in engineering and operating an enterprise identity platform at scale; SSO, lifecycle management, MFA, application integrations, and group-based access, with a strong bias toward configuration-as-code over manual administration

Strong IaC skills are required (Terraform or equivalent) applied to identity infrastructure — you write modules, manage state, and treat IaC plans as the change control mechanism

Deep working knowledge of SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SCIM — you can debug a broken SAML assertion, reason through an OAuth flow, and design a SCIM provisioning schema without looking things up— including hands-on experience with custom authorization servers 

Experience designing access control models in SaaS-heavy, remote-first environments. You understand the difference between a pragmatic access model and one that will collapse under growth

Experience governing access across cloud and SaaS platforms via SSO and SCIM — including group structures, permission boundaries, and collaboration platform controls

Comfort writing code to automate identity operations — Python, Go, or similar; you reach for a script before you reach for a ticket

Track record of defining measurable outcomes for security/identity programs and communicating them to non-technical stakeholders

Demonstrated fluency with AI coding/agent tools in a production engineering context — you can describe an end-to-end AI-assisted workflow you built (not just tool usage), and you know how to review AI-generated IaC or configuration before it ships 

Nice to Have

Experience integrating device trust between an identity provider and MDM platforms to enforce compliance as a condition of access

Familiarity with self-service access request platforms

Experience operating in SOX, SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, or COPPA compliance environments

Exposure to zero-trust architecture patterns and their application to workforce identity

AI-Native Expectations

Daily use: you use AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) daily to draft Terraform modules, provisioning scripts, and access-policy configuration — not just for autocomplete

Judgment and ownership: you review and are accountable for anything AI-generated before it touches production identity infrastructure; you can describe a time AI output was wrong and what you changed as a result

Velocity: AI fluency is expected to translate into measurable output leverage — faster IaC iteration, faster incident triage, fewer manual provisioning tickets

Team leadership: you share what you learn — reusable prompts, context docs, agent setups — and help raise the AI fluency of the broader Security/IT team

Continuous learning: you stay current on agentic tooling and bring recommendations back to the team rather than waiting for tooling decisions to be made for you
