Staff Product Designer

### Who you are
- 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 — you're fluent in Figma and comfortable using AI-assisted design tools, code-based prototyping, or agentic workflows to bring concepts to life before specs are finalized
- Strong visual and interaction design skills with a track record of crafting intuitive user journeys that simplify complex decisions
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity — you can take early, loosely defined product ideas and translate them into clear experiences and interaction models
- Deeply user-connected — you create fast feedback loops through user testing, direct interaction, and scrappy methods like spinning up real user groups in Slack to get signal quickly
- Self-directed but collaborative — you advocate for the best user experience while receiving feedback constructively and moving the work forward
- Genuinely excited about how AI is changing product design and user experiences — both as a tool in your workflow and as a capability embedded in the products you're designing
- Comfortable and enthusiastic about working in an AI-forward environment where AI tools are part of daily operations — you embrace technology to enhance your work while keeping people at the center
- 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

### What the job involves
- 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
- Lead the design direction for registry — from product discovery to registry creation to gift fulfillment — setting the bar for Babylist's core product experience
- Identify friction points in the registry journey and design solutions that make the experience more intuitive, joyful, and efficient for both registrants and gift givers
- Partner with product and engineering leadership to shape the long-term vision for registry, including where AI-powered guidance and automation can meaningfully improve the experience
- Design and prototype new interaction models that help parents discover the right products, simplify decisions, and build their registry with greater confidence
- Help define new ways of working as design, product, and engineering transition to co-building with AI — establishing rituals, tools, and patterns the broader team can adopt
- Raise the bar for design quality and velocity at Babylist by sharing tools, practices, and prototyping approaches that help teams learn faster and ship better experiences
