Senior Product Designer, AI Registry

The posting, as Babylist wrote it

What the Role Is

The modern tech stack has collapsed the distance between designing an experience and shipping it. We're hiring Senior Product Designers to build the next generation of Babylist by leveraging this reality.

The Senior Product Designer is the primary owner for user experience, delight, and interaction quality on the team. Equal parts skilled designer, hands-on researcher, and AI-enabled builder, you own how things feel, think broadly about user flows across the full Babylist experience, and hold the bar for whether something is intuitive, beautiful, and emotionally right for the user. You work alongside product managers, engineers, and data partners, but you are the one driving the experience layer and making sure every interaction meets both the functional and emotional needs of our users to drive impactful outcomes for the business.

You flex beyond the basics by running research, standing up working prototypes (in hours not days), and contributing to production-quality front-end code ensuring polish is never a trade-off. You help Babylist make the transition into AI-native product development by modeling what an AI-native designer does every day.

In this role, you shape how parents discover products, receive gifts, and navigate early parenthood across web and native mobile. These are not casual interactions. Families are making decisions during one of the most meaningful and overwhelming transitions of their lives. The experience has to be easy to use, easy to understand, and worthy of the trust they place in us.

Who You Are

• Craft and experience obsessed . You care deeply about how things feel, not just how they function — the transitions, motion, and details most people can't articulate but everyone responds to. You have a portfolio of shipped consumer product work across web and native mobile that proves it.
• A systems thinker. You see how a single interaction fits into a broader flow, how flows connect across products, and how the design system enables all of it. You design for coherence, not just screens.
• Industry aware and pattern fluent. You know the interaction patterns and design conventions that have become table stakes — and when to apply them versus evolve them for what Babylist families actually need.
• Human-and-data-centered. You plan and run generative and evaluative research yourself, bring concrete qualitative and quantitative evidence into design decisions, and communicate design rationale clearly and persuasively.
• Product savvy . You know what's worth building, what UX is right for a given context, and what will resonate with users in ways that support the business's goals — making engineers and PMs faster by reducing ambiguity and tightening scope.
• Critical thinker. You question assumptions and stress-test ideas before committing to them, distinguishing between what the data says and what people want it to say. You approach problems with creativity and multi-dimensional thinking.
