With over $1 billion in annual GMV, and more than $500 million in 2024 revenue, Babylist is reshaping the $320 billion baby product industry.

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

As a Senior Engineering Manager, BizOps, you’ll lead a team that doesn’t build customer-facing products—you build the engine that runs the business, and use AI to make that engine dramatically faster, smarter, and more scalable.

BizOps Tech is one of the most critical teams at Babylist. You will own the AI-powered systems behind three of our most operationally complex domains: Customer Service, Merchandising, and Health. Across all three, the opportunity is the same—take high-friction, human-intensive operations and redesign them around what AI agents can do today. That means automating the CS workflows that drain your team’s time, so human agents can focus on moments that require real empathy and judgment. It means compressing a product onboarding process that takes weeks of manual Merch work into something that largely runs itself. And it means building the intelligence layer behind Babylist Health—understanding insurance eligibility, routing the right information to the right payers, and getting Babylist paid accurately and on time.

This is not incremental improvement. This is a fundamental rewrite of how the business operates.
