## About the role

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, and emerging AI/Builder profiles.

## What they're looking for

- Technical fluency to probe engineering impact in a screen. You can speak the language with top technical talent and distinguish between elite technologists and strong subject matter experts
- 10+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting , not supported by a dedicated sourcing function or coordinator handling the heavy lift
- Hiring manager-level judgment : you push back when a search is miscalibrated, propose process changes before you’re asked, and make calls in ambiguous situations without needing sign-off on every decision
- You naturally reach for AI in your work. At Babylist, every team uses AI daily. You’re already using it to move faster and improve your output, and you stay curious about what’s coming next
