More than 9 million people shop with Babylist every year, making it the go-to destination for seamless purchasing, trusted guidance, and expert product recommendations for new parents and the people who love them.

Hundreds of brands in baby and beyond partner with Babylist to engage meaningfully with families during one of life’s most important transitions. With over $1 billion in annual GMV, and more than $500 million in 2024 revenue, Babylist is reshaping the $320 billion baby product industry. We’re helping parents feel confident, connected, and cared for at every step. As we build the generational brand in baby, our mission remains simple: to connect growing families with everything they need to thrive.To learn more, visit www.babylist.com.

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 Senior iOS Engineer to join our growing mobile team. You’ll be an integral part of shaping and enhancing the registry building and shopping experience as Babylist becomes the specialty retailer in baby commerce. Our platform provides parents-to-be with a carefully curated selection of baby essentials, personalized recommendations, and a seamless shopping experience — and the iOS app is how millions of families interact with all of it. Collaborating closely with designers, product managers, and full-stack engineers, you’ll contribute to building the foundation of our business. Your work will directly shape an app used by millions of users, ensuring it delivers a user-friendly, efficient, and delightful experience for parents preparing for the arrival of their new baby.

We’re looking for builders — engineers who are excited about solving hard problems, moving fast, and helping invent what AI-first mobile development looks like at Babylist. Role lines blur here intentionally: you’ll contribute to architectural decisions, collaborate across product areas, and be expected to bring ideas, not just execute specs.
