Senior Data Engineer

What the Role Is The Data team at Babylist powers decision-making across the entire business — from product growth to operations to AI. This is a senior individual contributor role on the Data Engineering team, sitting at the intersection of platform thinking and AI-native tooling. You'll own the architecture and systems that make data engineering itself more scalable — not just the pipelines, but the harnesses and agentic scaffolding that generate, test, and maintain them.

You'll work cross-functionally with analysts, data scientists, and product teams to keep Babylist's data infrastructure reliable and ahead of where the business is going.

Who You Are
