What the Role Is
Babylist is hiring
Senior Software Engineers
to join our engineering organization. You'll work on systems that power a $1B+ GMV marketplace, serving over 9 million families annually. Our engineering teams build everything from advertising platforms and commerce tools to registry systems and health products. During the interview process, you'll learn about different teams and we'll identify the best fit based on your skills and interests.
The work spans:
Revenue & Growth:
Advertising partnerships, commerce features, lifecycle marketing, and growth experiments
Product & Experience:
Registry tools, shopping flows, health product experience, and customer‑facing features
Platform & Infrastructure:
Developer tools, core services, monitoring, and foundational systems
We’re looking for builders — engineers who are excited about solving hard problems, moving fast, and helping invent what AI‑first software development looks like at Babylist.
Who You Are
A high‑performing engineer with
6+ years of experience
delivering end‑to‑end solutions that drive business growth
You thrive in a quickly growing environment and are excited to lead business‑critical projects to unlock new capabilities
You have experience testing, monitoring, and running production software systems and are focused on continuing to grow your skills
You have a passion for identifying gaps in team processes or execution and love driving impactful improvements
You're adaptable and open to working on different types of problems, from revenue systems to customer‑facing features to infrastructure
Past experience in
e‑commerce, consumer growth marketing, adtech, or marketplace systems
is a plus but not required
You pay close attention to detail
You actively use AI coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) as part of your daily workflow, bring the architectural judgment to know when to trust AI‑generated code and when to course‑correct, and are comfortable with a higher experimentation rate — including bets that don’t pan out
How You Will Make An Impact
Provide leadership around process, tooling, systems, and software architecture. We benefit from more knowledge and learning how others solve problems. You will feel excited to bring in new ways of solving problems.
Improve and help maintain existing systems — and lead the team in adopting AI‑first approaches to do it faster. As a Senior Engineer, you’re expected to help define how we use AI tooling to accelerate code quality, reduce friction, and raise the bar on what’s possible. This includes knowing when AI‑generated code needs architectural correction, not just acceptance.
Work closely with product managers, designers, and data teams to design, implement, and deploy systems that support our growing business
Make architectural decisions that balance speed, quality, and long‑term maintainability
Work in a close, supportive team solving real‑world problems and making decisions
Mentor other team members through design and architecture planning, code reviews, and knowledge‑sharing sessions

How We Build

You’ll have direct access to stakeholders and short feedback loops, not six‑week alignment cycles

The engineers here aren’t waiting for fully scoped briefs — they’re builders who own problems end to end

Competitive pay and meaningful opportunities for career advancement

We’re committed to career progression and performance‑based advancement
