[Hiring] Staff Product Designer @Babylist

Role Description

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.

Qualifications

• 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 — fluent in Figma and comfortable using AI-assisted design tools, code-based prototyping, or agentic workflows
• Strong visual and interaction design skills with a track record of crafting intuitive user journeys that simplify complex decisions
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity — able to translate early, loosely defined product ideas into clear experiences and interaction models
• Deeply user-connected — creates fast feedback loops through user testing and direct interaction
• Self-directed but collaborative — advocates for the best user experience while receiving feedback constructively
• Genuinely excited about how AI is changing product design and user experiences
• Comfortable and enthusiastic about working in an AI-forward environment

Requirements

• Lead the design direction for registry — from product discovery to registry creation to gift fulfillment
• Identify friction points in the registry journey and design solutions that enhance the experience
• Partner with product and engineering leadership to shape the long-term vision for registry
• Design and prototype new interaction models that help parents discover the right products
• Help define new ways of working as design, product, and engineering transition to co-building with AI
• Raise the bar for design quality and velocity at Babylist

• Competitive salary with equity and bonus opportunities
• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
