The Role
Senior iOS Engineer to join our newest venture—a standalone app that helps families stay connected for all the moments that matter. You will be an integral part of shaping and building experiences that celebrate the growth of families, from first smiles to first birthdays and beyond. You will work with a small, in-person team in the Boston area operating autonomously outside of Babylist's current processes and tech stack. In a 9‑month sprint, you’ll design and rapidly prototype an entirely new product from concept to validated product vision and direction, collaborating closely with your designer and product manager to build the foundation of our iOS app.
Who You Are
You have a strong understanding of software development principles and the capabilities and limitations of the iOS platform. You are well-versed in iOS development and can navigate its features and constraints. You have 8+ years of proven experience in iOS app development using Swift. You are comfortable with Swift and SwiftUI and have a deep understanding of syntax, features, and best practices. You are familiar with Foundation, SwiftUI, CoreAnimation and other foundational Apple frameworks. You have hands-on experience with SwiftUI, previews, and rapid prototyping. You are passionate about building consumer-facing products and moving quickly in the zero-to-one phase of a new product, delivering an exceptional user experience. You have experience with AI‑driven software development practices and tools. You have a solid understanding of the Android ecosystem; direct Android development experience is a plus. You are comfortable working in an AI-forward environment where AI tools are part of daily operations and you value keeping people at the center of technology.
How You Will Make An Impact
Conceptualize, design, and develop our new standalone iOS app, owning the entire development lifecycle and delivering features with a seamless user experience. Collaborate closely with designers and product managers to translate requirements into technical specifications and intuitive interfaces. Coordinate with a full‑stack web engineer to align on architecture and API design. Write clean, maintainable code following industry best practices and standards. Apply testing techniques, write unit tests, and use debugging tools to identify and address issues. Contribute to team discussions, provide insights, and help shape the direction of the iOS app.
Why You Will Love Working At Babylist
Focus and intentional work followed by time to recharge. Strong management and investment in tools and opportunities to connect with colleagues. Products that positively impact millions of people’s lives. AI is embedded in how we work, create, and scale—supporting innovation and impact.
Compensation & Benefits

Generous paid parental leave and PTO. Remote work stipend to set up your office. Perks for physical, mental, emotional health, parenting, childcare, and financial planning.
