You'll work with a small, in-person team in the Boston area operating autonomously outside of Babylist's current processes and tech stack. In a 9-month sprint, you'll design and rapidly prototype an entirely new product from concept to validated product vision and direction. You’ll collaborate closely with your designer and product manager to build the foundation of our iOS app.

• Solid understanding of the Android ecosystem, with direct Android development experience being a plus.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate effectively with team members, actively participating in discussions and brainstorming sessions.

• Generous paid parental leave policy.
• 401(k) with company match.
