About The Team

The Device Analytics team is a distinct part of the broader Engineering Organization. While belonging to a close-knit central team, each Life360 Analyst partners with one or more business units on a long-term basis: in Product, Device Sales, Marketing, Engineering or Finance. 

Each Analyst has the opportunity to combine their own expertise with our substantial data resources to contribute as a thought leader, establish domain expertise and develop cross-functional partnership to solve business problems for the company.
