Babylist

8h • $178,035 - $213,642 • Remote

About The Position

Babylist is the leading platform for expecting and new families, offering a comprehensive ecosystem that includes a universal registry, shop, health services, financial tools, and more. As a remote-first, AI-forward tech company, Babylist is reshaping the kids and baby market. We are hiring a Senior Product Designer to build the next generation of Babylist by leveraging a modern tech stack. This role requires a skilled designer, hands-on researcher, and AI-enabled builder who owns the user experience, thinks broadly across the entire Babylist platform, and ensures interactions are intuitive, beautiful, and emotionally resonant. The Senior Product Designer will collaborate with product managers, engineers, and data partners, driving the experience layer to meet user needs and achieve business outcomes. The role involves shaping how parents discover products, receive gifts, and navigate early parenthood across web and native mobile, ensuring the experience is easy to use, understand, and worthy of user trust.

Requirements

• Design and ship production frontend code (React, React Native, SwiftUI, or equivalent)
• Ability to move from concept to interactive prototype in hours, using AI tools to compress exploration cycles
• Portfolio of shipped products designed and built using AI-enabled workflows
• Systems thinking: ability to see how interactions fit into broader flows and how design systems enable coherence
• Ability to plan and run research end-to-end (generative and evaluative)
• Ability to bring concrete qualitative and quantitative evidence into design decisions
• Ability to make PMs and engineers faster by reducing ambiguity and tightening scope
• High bar for craft, noticing details in motion, accessibility, and emotional tone
• Portfolio of shipped consumer product work across web and native mobile
• Experience seeking feedback early and often, treating critique as signal
• Excitement about the AI transformation and willingness to use AI to move faster and improve output
• Experience with transitions, micro-interactions, error states, empty states, and keyboard behavior

Nice To Haves

• Opinions about component architecture

Responsibilities

• Own the experience layer for a customer journey or product surface end-to-end — from information architecture and interaction patterns to shipped frontend code
• Design for families navigating one of the most stressful and meaningful transitions of their lives — the bar is simple, intuitive, and emotionally right, not just functional
• Contribute to and evolve Babylist's design system — reusable components, interaction patterns, consistency across web and native mobile
• Run your own research: user interviews, usability testing, fast feedback loops through Babylist communities and other channels
• Write production frontend code — implement, refine, and polish the experiences you design directly in the codebase
• Model AI-native workflows for the team — prototype, synthesize, build — then share and teach what's working
• Support non-designers in contributing to the experience layer — act as a quality bar and consultant, not a gatekeeper
• Instrument your own work, track whether it's moving the right metrics, and make clean iterate/pivot/stop decisions based on evidence

Benefits

• Competitive pay and meaningful opportunities for career advancement
• Competitive salary with equity and bonus opportunities
• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings plan with company matching and flexible spending accounts
• Generous paid parental leave and PTO
• Remote work stipend to set up your office
• Perks for physical, mental, and emotional health, parenting, childcare, and financial planning
