What the Role Is

Babylist is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Registry engineering team. This team is responsible for the end-to-end experience of building and sharing users’ Babylist registry, a product used and loved by millions of parents and gift givers. Product areas include product recommendations, baby shower kits, third party order tracking, and other registry management tools. You’ll work closely with Product, Design and other stakeholders to design and build new features and experiences for our registrants.

Who You Are

  • Working in a close, supportive team solving real-world problems and making decisions

  • We care about employee wellbeing with perks for physical, mental and emotional health, parenting, childcare, and financial planning
