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 thrives as a remote-first company, with HQ team members located across the U.S. and Canada. We meet in person twice a year—once as a company and once by department to strengthen the relationships that power our work. We show up consistently, stay purpose-driven, leverage AI to amplify our impact, and achieve results—together, from anywhere. What the Role Is As the Staff Product Designer for Registry, you'll lead the design vision for Babylist's foundational product — the registry that millions of expecting parents use to discover products, make decisions, and receive gifts during one of the most meaningful moments in their lives. You'll own the end-to-end experience across web and mobile, shaping how parents build their registry and how their communities show up to support them. This is a builder role. You'll use modern tools — Figma, AI-assisted workflows, agentic development, code-based prototyping — to rapidly explore ideas, test interaction models, and ship real experiences. You'll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and data to co-build and iterate fast, not hand off polished mocks and wait. This role requires balancing strategic product thinking with hands-on execution. If you thrive when you're deep in the work — prototyping, testing, iterating — and can hold the long-term vision while shipping week to week, you'll do well here. If you prefer operating at a purely strategic altitude or need clearly defined requirements before you start designing, this isn't the right fit. Who You Are - 8+ years of product design experience (or a portfolio that demonstrates equivalent depth) with shipped work across web and mobile platforms - A builder who prototypes fast — you're fluent in Figma and comfortable using AI-assisted design tools, code-based prototyping, or agentic workflows to bring concepts to life before specs are finalized - Strong visual and interaction design skills with a track record of crafting intuitive user journeys that simplify complex decisions - Comfortable operating in ambiguity — you can take early, loosely defined product ideas and translate them into clear experiences and interaction models - Deeply user-connected — you create fast feedback loops through user testing, direct interaction, and scrappy methods like spinning up real user groups in Slack to get signal quickly - Self-directed but collaborative — you advocate for the best user experience while receiving feedback constructively and moving the work forward - Genuinely excited about how AI is changing product design and user experiences — both as a tool in your workflow and as a capability embedded in the products you're designing - Comfortable and enthusiastic about working in an AI-forward environment where AI tools are part of daily operations — you embrace technology to enhance your work while keeping people at the center How You Will Make An Impact - Lead the design direction for registry — from product discovery to registry creation to gift fulfillment — setting the bar for Babylist's core product experience - Identify friction points in the registry journey and design solutions that make the experience more intuitive, joyful, and efficient for both registrants and gift givers - Partner with product and engineering leadership to shape the long-term vision for registry, including where AI-powered guidance and automation can meaningfully improve the experience - Design and prototype new interaction models that help parents discover the right products, simplify decisions, and build their registry with greater confidence - Help define new ways of working as design, product, and engineering transition to co-building with AI — establishing rituals, tools, and patterns the broader team can adopt - Raise the bar for design quality and velocity at Babylist by sharing tools, practices, and prototyping approaches that help teams learn faster and ship better experiences Why You Will Love Working At Babylist Our Culture - We work with focus and intention, then step away to recharge - We believe in exceptional management and invest in tools and opportunities to connect with colleagues - We build products that positively impact millions of people's lives - AI is intentionally embedded in how we work, create, and scale—supporting innovation and impact Growth & Development - Competitive pay and meaningful opportunities for career advancement - We believe technology and data can solve hard problems - We're committed to career progression and performance-based advancement Compensation & Benefits - 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 About Compensation We use a market-based approach to compensation.
