About The Position

As a Senior Engineer at Babylist, you take on hard problems and own them end-to-end. Millions of families depend on what we build. Agents write most of the code now. So the hard part is yours: what to build, how it should work and whether what shipped was right. You're still in the code for the genuinely hard problems. Agents handle the volume. You spend your time on the parts that need a person. We're building well beyond the registry now: the financial side of raising a kid, maternal health made simpler and more human, the education new parents are looking for and the community around them. The hard problems run across all of it, plus the platform underneath and the AI we already ship to families. You'll start on a team, but you won't be boxed into it. The roadmap is open, your scope grows as you do and you have a say in what you take on next. Senior here means owning whole problems; Staff is the next step up, setting direction across a domain.

Requirements

• You've been shipping production systems for years, and you've got the judgment to show for it.
• You can pick up an ambiguous problem and start moving before anyone hands you the full picture.
• The strongest Senior engineers here are generalists, and usually the most prolific builders on their team.
• You go wherever the problem leads: a backend service one week, a stubborn frontend bug the next, the data pipeline after that.
• When it's hard you dig in, and you learn unfamiliar parts of the stack fast.
• Range is the Senior signature.

Responsibilities

• Frame the problem with your PM as a peer, run the experiment and bring customer evidence into what gets built.
• Harden a critical path, kill a class of incidents or design the abstraction your team builds on.
• Be the reviewer people want on the risky changes.
• Manage up with crisp choices: raise the risks early and protect the right tradeoffs.
• Share what you're learning about AI openly, so the whole team gets sharper.

Benefits

• Company-paid medical and fully covered dental and vision
• A RRSP match
• Generous paid parental leave for birthing and non-birthing parents, plus a gradual return-to-work program
• Winter Wonder Week, a paid company-wide week off at the end of the year
• A remote-work stipend
• Mental-health and wellness support
