Who We Are

Babylist is the leading platform for expecting and new families. More than 10 million people shop with Babylist every year, making it the go-to destination for seamless purchasing, guidance, and expert recommendations. As a modern, AI-forward tech company, Babylist has expanded from a universal registry into a full ecosystem — the Babylist Shop, Babylist Health, Babylist Money, NYC and LA showrooms, branded content, and more — generating $750M in revenue in 2025. Building the generational brand in baby, Babylist is reshaping the $235B kids and baby market and helping parents feel confident, connected, and cared for at every step.

Our Ways of Working

Babylist is remote-first with team members across the U.S. and Canada who move fast, think smart, and use AI as part of how they work every day — not as an experiment, as an expectation. We come together twice a year to build the relationships behind the work, and we hire people who are genuinely excited about what's possible and prove it through how they show up.

How We Build Babylist is in the middle of a fundamental shift in how software gets made, and we are not tiptoeing into it. We are rebuilding our engineering culture around a simple belief: AI changes everything. How teams are structured, how decisions get made, how fast ideas become working software. Our engineers own problems end to end, working directly with product, design, and business partners with short feedback loops and real stakeholder access. We ship, learn, and iterate fast. When something is not working, we throw it out and start over — project failure and personal failure are not the same thing here. AI tools are as natural to our workflow as an IDE or version control. We are not exploring this, we are living it. Our engineers use AI to explore tradeoffs, pressure-test designs, and move from problem to solution in hours instead of days. They generate code with AI so they can stay focused on the decisions that actually require human judgment — not the routine ones. More velocity means more time for craft: better test coverage, stronger architecture, and deeper customer understanding. We hold ourselves to a higher quality bar because of AI, not in spite of it. We are building this playbook in real time, and we are looking for people who want to build it with us. If you have already changed how you work because of AI — or you are ready to — and you care more about shipping something great than following a prescribed process, we should talk.

What the Role Is

Babylist is looking for a passionate Senior Mobile Engineer to join our Babylist Health and Education team. Launched in October 2022, Babylist Health provides a user-friendly and transparent way for people to purchase breast pumps and breast pump accessories through insurance. We are now embarking on an exciting new initiative to bring education to families, offering resources, classes, and content to help them prepare for and navigate parenthood. As a Senior Mobile Engineer, you will be an integral part of shaping and enhancing this experience, collaborating closely with designers, product managers, and engineers to build intuitive, high-quality mobile apps used by millions of users. You will lead business-critical projects, make important decisions about how our systems grow and scale, and work on new strategic initiatives to expand our health and education offerings as we grow this business.

Who You Are

• You build production-quality iOS or Android apps in Swift or Kotlin — you have deep expertise in one platform and solid working knowledge of the other, and you can speak fluently to the tradeoffs between them
• You're fluent in mobile architecture patterns — MVVM, MVC, and others — and you reach for the right one based on what you're building, not habit
• You know your platform's UI frameworks well — SwiftUI and/or Jetpack Compose, UIKit, Auto Layout, Jetpack libraries — and you build components in code, not just configure them
• You've shipped consumer-facing mobile products to real users and you care about what the experience feels like, not just whether the tests pass
• You've partnered closely with designers — you know how to read a Figma file, push back when something won't work on mobile, and close the gap between design intent and implementation
• You collaborate naturally with backend and full-stack engineers — you have opinions about API design and you're not afraid to say so
• You naturally reach for AI in your work — at Babylist, every team uses AI daily. You're already using it to move faster and improve your output, and you stay curious about what's coming next.

How You Will Make An Impact

• Build and ship features across the Babylist iOS and Android apps — you own the full development lifecycle on your work, from spec to production
• Lead the mobile build-out of Babylist's new education experience — classes, content, and resources for families preparing for parenthood
• Drive performance improvements on both platforms — you identify the bottlenecks, not just the symptoms
• Write clean, testable, maintainable code and hold the bar for the team around you — not just in your own PRs
• Translate complex requirements into intuitive interfaces in partnership with your PM and designer — you're in the room when decisions get made, not handed specs after the fact
• Collaborate with full-stack engineers on API design and architecture — you bring the mobile-first perspective to cross-platform decisions

Why This Role

• Babylist Health is an already-profitable business — you're not building an MVP hoping it finds product-market fit, you're scaling something that works
• The education expansion is net-new — you'll shape the mobile architecture for a product area that doesn't exist yet
• Small team means your decisions carry real weight — you're not in a queue, you're in the room
• The Babylist mobile codebase is actively maintained and modern — you won't spend your first six months cleaning up debt before you can ship anything real

About Compensation

We use a market-based approach to compensation. The starting salary range for this role is:

$193,805 to $232,566

Your starting salary will be based on your location, experience, and qualifications, with increases over time tied to performance, role growth, and internal pay equity.
