Life is meaningless if you live a finite life because no matter what you do it will be washed out in time. Life is meaningless if you live an infinite life because any finite portion of time in your life approaches 0% of your total life time and by definition has no value. And yet, meaning can only be defined by life, because there is no such thing as inherent meaning.

If I created life I would almost certainly make it finite but endow it with a sense of hope that life goes beyond a single life span.

That is one of the conjectures propounded by the Upanishads.
