Babylist is the leading platform for expecting and new families. They are seeking a Senior Mobile Engineer to join their Babylist Health and Education team, where you will shape and enhance mobile applications that provide resources and education for families.
Responsibilities:
- Build and ship features across the Babylist iOS and Android apps — you own the full development lifecycle on your work, from spec to production
- Lead the mobile build-out of Babylist's new education experience — classes, content, and resources for families preparing for parenthood
- Drive performance improvements on both platforms — you identify the bottlenecks, not just the symptoms
- Write clean, testable, maintainable code and hold the bar for the team around you — not just in your own PRs
- Translate complex requirements into intuitive interfaces in partnership with your PM and designer — you're in the room when decisions get made, not handed specs after the fact
- Collaborate with full-stack engineers on API design and architecture — you bring the mobile-first perspective to cross-platform decisions
Requirements:
- You build production-quality iOS or Android apps in Swift or Kotlin — you have deep expertise in one platform and solid working knowledge of the other, and you can speak fluently to the tradeoffs between them
- You're fluent in mobile architecture patterns — MVVM, MVC, and others — and you reach for the right one based on what you're building, not habit
- You know your platform's UI frameworks well — SwiftUI and/or Jetpack Compose, UIKit, Auto Layout, Jetpack libraries — and you build components in code, not just configure them
- You've shipped consumer-facing mobile products to real users and you care about what the experience feels like, not just whether the tests pass
- You've partnered closely with designers — you know how to read a Figma file, push back when something won't work on mobile, and close the gap between design intent and implementation
- You collaborate naturally with backend and full-stack engineers — you have opinions about API design and you're not afraid to say so
- 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
