Our Ways of Working
Babylist is remote-first with team members across the U.S. and Canada who move fast, think smart, and use AI as part of how they work every day - not as an experiment, as an expectation. We come together twice a year to build the relationships behind the work, and we hire people who are genuinely excited about whats possible and prove it through how they show up.
What the Role Is
As the Staff Product Designer for Registry, youll lead the design vision for Babylists 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. Youll 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. Youll use modern tools - Figma, AI-assisted workflows, agentic development, code-based prototyping - to rapidly explore ideas, test interaction models, and ship real experiences. Youll 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 youre deep in the work - prototyping, testing, iterating - and can hold the long-term vision while shipping week to week, youll do well here. If you prefer operating at a purely strategic altitude or need clearly defined requirements before you start designing, this isnt 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 - youre 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 youre designing
Youre genuinely excited about what AI can do - not just as a concept, but as something you want to get your hands on. At Babylist, every team uses AI daily, and were looking for people who lean in.
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 Babylists 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
