[Hiring] Senior Technical Recruiter @Babylist

Role Description

Babylist is at an inflection point: $750M in revenue, expanding into new verticals, and building the teams that will take us there. You will own Babylist’s most complex and strategically important technical roles, including:

• Senior, staff, and director-level engineers
• Principal product managers
• Emerging AI/Builder profiles

You are a trusted advisor who sets the standard for excellent technical recruiting: calibrated, opinionated, and grounded in a genuine understanding of Babylist’s culture and how our technical teams’ work drives our long-term goals. Day to day, this is a mix of targeted full-cycle recruiting and team-level infrastructure work, partnering directly with engineering directors and product leaders as a thought partner, not a service function. Our focus is on quality:

• Building candidate relationships over years
• Probing deeply enough in screens to distinguish candidates who owned an outcome from those who sat near it
• Navigating offers with confidence and first-principles comp strategy

Qualifications

• Technical fluency to probe engineering impact in a screen
• 10+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting, not supported by a dedicated sourcing function or coordinator
• Experience driving genuinely complex offer situations
• Hiring manager-level judgment
• Mentorship experience within your team
• Operational experience in building new tools for your team
• Genuine curiosity about the market and engineering practices
• Experience using AI in your work

Requirements

• Own and close Babylist’s complex technical roles
• Build and maintain the team’s hiring intelligence infrastructure
• Present pipeline health, hiring trends, and forward-looking recommendations to Engineering Leadership
• Drive the offer strategy on hard-to-close situations
• Design and run team capability programs
• Manage external agency partnerships using performance data
• Shape how Engineering and Product leadership thinks about hiring calibration and process

Benefits

• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings plan with company matching and flexible spending accounts
• Generous paid parental leave and PTO
• Winter Wonder Week: the whole company takes a paid week off at the end of the year
• Remote work stipend to set up your office
• Perks for physical, mental, and emotional health, parenting, childcare, and financial planning
